Alexandrite Laser

Laser Hair Reduction is quickly becoming popular over the traditional methods of hair removal like razing, threading, waxing, hair removal creams etc. The traditional methods of hair removal affect the skin’s texture and might also increase the density of hair instead of its reduction.

Laser hair removal is a convenient method of hair reduction for both women and men. Benefits vary from reduction in density, improvement in texture from course, thick and dark hair to finer, fewer and lighter hair and  longer hair free periods. It is a great way to remove all unwanted hair from any part of your body, and is medically proven to give you long term hair reduction. With long lasting results, laser hair removal is better value for money compared to other hair removal methods as it requires very minimal maintenance. Your comfort throughout the treatment is ensured along with unbelievable results.

At Dadu Medical Centre located in Delhi, Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), Rajouri Garden (West Delhi), we use  lasers which are gold standard for painless fastest hair removal, suitable for Indian skin type, full body covered in less than a couple of hours! The laser hair removal treatments at Dadu Medical Centre are suitable for all types of skin and ultimately helps you attain a smoother skin. 

Older generation lasers were slow, very painful and worked only on individuals with very dark hair and very light skin. Now there are varieties of laser hair removal specially designed for different skin tones and hair types. It usually takes a series of treatments for maximum hair reduction, but the good news is that there is a treatment available that can ensure almost everyone, irrespective of hair type or skin tone, can showcase hair-free, perfectly smooth skin.  

The most common mistake people make is that they assume all lasers used for hair removal are the same. Lasers today differ greatly and therefore it is important to know which laser technology will be most suited to your skin. Different types of lasers are determined by their wavelengths.

There are two types of hairs present on the body, terminal and vellus. Vellus hair is fine, downy and short and covers most of the body. It covers the entire surface of the body except for the palms of the hands and bottoms of the feet. Vellus hair is practically invisible and most people don’t notice it. In contrast, terminal hair is thick, heavily pigmented and visible.

The Alexandrite Laser emits high energy light through an alexandrite crystal producing a beam of light which is 755 nm long. It is one of the most effective laser for thin or fine hair that many of the other types of laser cannot eliminate.

The laser device works by emitting pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin and destroy hair follicles while the device’s handpiece cools the surrounding skin. Since the hair follicles are targeted in the growth phase of the cycle, hair  that are in the other stages will not be affected by the laser and  this is partly why a course of treatments is necessary and why top-up treatments are sometimes advisable every few years. The sessions need to be repeated at suggested intervals, though the hair cycle length varies depending on body part, face usually requires more frequent treatments. While larger body parts like legs and back require less frequent treatments. Also due to changing hair cycles and the thickness of the follicle, it can take a while to see optimum results. The first few treatments are usually done in intervals of atleast a month. 

Patients are advised that laser hair removal is a medical procedure that requires knowledge, skill and experience to perform, so a certified medical facility with proven equipment is strongly recommended over a non-medical spa and laser hair removal procedures at Dadu Medical Centre should not be compared to the laser hair removal services widely available in non-medical facilities from technicians with no medical training.

Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal in Delhi – 755nm Fine Hair Reduction for All Body Parts at Dadu Medical Centre

If you have ever waxed, threaded, shaved, or used hair removal creams and found yourself right back in the same situation a few weeks later you already know how exhausting and never-ending the cycle of traditional hair removal is. What makes it worse is that many of these methods, when done repeatedly over years, actually affect the skin's texture and in some cases can make hair grow back coarser or more densely. For anyone tired of this routine and looking for a long-term, medically proven solution, Alexandrite laser hair removal treatment in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre offers exactly what traditional methods cannot a significant and lasting reduction in unwanted hair across any part of the body, with a technology that is particularly effective for treating fine, thin, and light-coloured hair that most other laser systems struggle to reach. This is what sets the Alexandrite laser apart and makes it the treatment of choice for a specific and large group of people who have tried laser hair removal before and found it either too painful or not effective enough on their finer body hair.

The Alexandrite laser works differently from other hair removal lasers because of the specific wavelength it operates at. The laser emits high-energy light through an alexandrite crystal, producing a beam of light at a wavelength of 755nm. This wavelength falls in a range that is particularly well absorbed by melanin the pigment present in hair follicles and because of this, it is especially effective at targeting hair follicles that contain lower concentrations of melanin, which is exactly the case with fine, thin, and lighter-coloured hair. Other laser systems, including Diode lasers, operate at higher wavelengths that are better suited to thicker and darker hair. The Alexandrite laser fills a very specific clinical gap it treats hair that other technologies often miss, making it a critical part of a comprehensive laser hair removal approach at Dadu Medical Centre, one of the most advanced and trusted skin clinics in Delhi.

Here is how the treatment works in plain terms. During a session, the laser device emits pulses of light energy that travel through the skin and are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. When this light energy is absorbed by the follicle, it converts into heat. This heat damages the follicle at the root, impairing its ability to produce new hair growth. Crucially, the laser device's handpiece also simultaneously cools the surrounding skin during this process, which keeps the skin surface protected and comfortable throughout. Because of this cooling mechanism, the treatment remains manageable and largely comfortable even as it is delivering the heat energy needed to disable the follicle. The result is hair that grows back progressively finer, lighter, sparser, and slower with each successive session until, over a full course of treatments, the hair in the treated area is substantially reduced compared to what was there before.

One of the most important things to understand about laser hair removal and this applies to the Alexandrite laser as well is that hair grows in cycles. At any given time, the hair on your body is at different stages of growth: some follicles are actively growing, some are resting, and some are in transition. The laser can only effectively target follicles that are in the active growth phase, which is when melanin concentration in the follicle is highest and the follicle is most responsive to the laser energy. This is exactly why a single session is never enough for full results multiple sessions, spaced at the correct intervals, are needed to catch different follicles during their active growth phase. For facial hair, the growth cycle is shorter, so sessions are typically needed more frequently. For larger body areas like the legs and back, the growth cycle is longer, so sessions can be spaced further apart. Dr. Nivedita Dadu, one of the most experienced and trusted doctors in Delhi in the field of dermatology and laser medicine, assesses each patient's hair type, skin type, and the body area being treated before recommending the most appropriate session schedule for maximum results.

It is also worth noting something that Dr. Nivedita Dadu specifically advises patients at the clinic in Delhi laser hair removal is a medical procedure that should only be performed in a certified medical facility by trained professionals using proven, medical-grade equipment. The laser hair removal services available at non-medical spas, parlours, or beauty centres from technicians without clinical training use very different, lower-grade equipment and cannot be compared to the clinical procedure performed at Dadu Medical Centre. The difference in safety, precision, and outcome is significant. The older generation of lasers for hair removal were slow, very uncomfortable, and only worked well on people with very dark hair and very light skin. Modern technology and the Alexandrite laser in particular — has changed this considerably and is now suitable for a much broader range of skin tones and hair types. You can visit Dadu Medical Centre at Vasant Vihar in South Delhi or Rajouri Garden in West Delhi to book your consultation and begin your Alexandrite laser hair removal plan.
