Who Is This For?
Laser treatments are most effective for adults above 18 who have completed their primary hair growth cycles. For laser hair removal, candidates with a noticeable contrast between hair pigment and skin tone see the fastest results. Fitzpatrick Type III–V Indian skin responds well to Nd:YAG 1064nm laser - the safest choice for darker skin tones - which is the primary system used at SKIN@Mantraa. Treatment areas include face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini line, and back.
For pigmentation correction and tattoo removal, suitable candidates include those with stable melasma, post-acne dark spots, sun damage, freckles, or tattoo ink they want removed. A patch test and consultation are conducted before any laser session to assess skin type, identify contraindications, and calibrate settings appropriately for your skin and concern.
Laser treatments are generally not suitable during pregnancy, active skin infections, or within 2 weeks of significant sun exposure. Patients on blood thinners, isotretinoin (Roaccutane), or photosensitising medications require a structured pause before treatment. Dr. Bhura reviews all medications and medical history at the initial consultation before recommending any laser protocol.

What to Expect
Laser hair removal delivers 80–90% permanent hair reduction after a full course of 6–8 sessions - most patients see 50–60% reduction by session 3. For pigmentation, noticeable lightening is typically visible after 2–3 sessions. Tattoo removal fades ink progressively; most tattoos require 6–10 sessions depending on ink colour and depth. Skin texture improvements from laser resurfacing are visible within 4–6 weeks and continue improving over 3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most patients describe it as a mild snapping or warming sensation. The laser handpiece has built-in cooling that reduces surface discomfort. Topical anaesthetic is available for facial treatments. There is no downtime - patients return to normal activities immediately.
How many sessions does laser hair removal take?
Most patients need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for significant and lasting hair reduction. This follows the natural hair growth cycle - only follicles in the active (anagen) phase are destroyed per session. After completing the course, 80 to 90% permanent hair reduction is typical.
Which laser is safe for Indian skin?
For Fitzpatrick Type III–V Indian skin, we use Nd:YAG 1064nm and diode 810nm lasers - both have lower melanin absorption and are significantly safer for darker skin tones than alexandrite 755nm. Settings are calibrated per patient at every session.
Can laser treat pigmentation and dark spots?
Yes. Q-switched Nd:YAG laser targets melanin in dark spots, melasma patches, and post-acne pigmentation. We also use laser for tattoo removal and skin resurfacing to improve texture and clarity.
What should I do before a laser session?
Shave (not wax) the treatment area 24 hours before. Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks prior. Arrive with clean, product-free skin. After each session, apply SPF 50+ sunscreen and avoid direct sun for 2 weeks.
