Laser hair removal myths: what our doctor says

Our doctor answers five common myths about laser hair removal, which doctors also call laser hair reduction. It is safe when a trained doctor does it. It is much less painful than waxing or threading. Over the years it can cost less than a lifetime of waxing. It doesn’t cause skin cancer, and it doesn’t darken your skin.

CoolGlide is the laser we use at every Cutera Aesthetics clinic: four wavelengths in one machine, 2000 W of power and a chilled sapphire tip, so it suits every skin tone, including darker Pakistani skin. Sessions take 10 to 90 minutes, depending on the area, with no downtime, from about Rs 2,100 a session in a course of 6. Our patients call the results “tremendous” and “superb”.
