US-FDA Diode Laser · All Skin Types · Physician-Performed
Permanent hair reduction with the gold-standard Diode laser — 808nm wavelength, US-FDA approved, safe for all Indian skin tones. Performed by board-certified dermatologists across 7 DermaVue clinics in Kerala and Coimbatore.
Evidence-Based Hair Reduction
Laser hair removal is an FDA-cleared medical procedure that uses concentrated pulses of laser light to permanently reduce unwanted hair. The laser energy targets melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle, generating heat that destroys the follicle's ability to produce new hair — without harming the surrounding skin.
At DermaVue, we use the Diode laser (808nm wavelength) — the gold standard for laser hair removal, validated in hundreds of clinical trials and US-FDA approved for permanent hair reduction on all skin types, including Fitzpatrick Types IV–VI (typical Indian skin tones).
Unlike waxing, threading, or shaving, laser hair removal attacks the follicle directly, providing long-lasting results that are maintained with just occasional touch-up sessions. Most patients achieve 80–90% permanent hair reduction after completing their recommended treatment course.

The Science Behind the Procedure
A simple 5-step process. Each session typically takes 15–60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Your dermatologist assesses your skin type, hair colour, and medical history to customise laser settings and determine suitability.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
The area is cleansed. Cooling gel is applied. For sensitive patients, a topical anaesthetic cream may be used 30–45 minutes before the session.
Laser Application
The Diode laser handpiece is moved across the skin, delivering pulses of 808nm light energy. The built-in cooling tip continuously cools the skin, protecting the epidermis while the laser energy heats the follicle.
Post-Treatment Care
Cooling gel or aloe vera is applied to soothe the skin. SPF is mandatory. You can return to normal activities immediately — zero downtime.
Follow-Up Sessions
6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart are typically needed. Each session targets follicles in their active growth (anagen) phase, progressively eliminating more hair with each treatment.

Why Patients Choose Laser
Compared to waxing, threading, shaving or hair removal creams — laser offers permanent, cost-effective, and medically safe results.
Permanent Hair Reduction
80–95% permanent reduction after a full course. Treated follicles cannot regrow hair.
Zero Downtime
No redness, no recovery period. Return to work, gym or daily activities immediately after each session.
Smoother Skin Texture
Laser energy also targets pigmented follicle openings, leaving skin smoother and more even-toned.
Cost-Effective Over Time
Initial investment saves years of ongoing waxing and threading expenses. Most patients break even within 18 months.
Precision Targeting
Laser precisely targets dark, coarse hair follicles without damaging surrounding skin tissue.
Ingrown Hair Prevention
Eliminates ingrown hairs and razor bumps — common on underarms, bikini line, and beard areas.
Clinically Validated
Diode laser hair removal has an extensive body of peer-reviewed clinical evidence supporting safety and efficacy.
Safe for All Indian Skin Tones
808nm Diode wavelength is the safest choice for Fitzpatrick Types IV–VI, with minimal risk of burns or pigmentation.
Full Body Coverage
DermaVue offers laser hair removal for virtually every area of the body and face. Each area has customised laser settings based on skin type and hair density.
Laser hair removal works best on dark, coarse hair. Very fine, light-coloured (blonde/grey/white) hair has less melanin and responds less predictably to laser. Your dermatologist will assess suitability during consultation.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates include:
Additional medical considerations:
Pregnant patients, those on photosensitising medications, or patients with certain skin conditions may require a waiting period or alternative approaches. Your DermaVue dermatologist will review your health history comprehensively before recommending treatment.
Before Your Session
Shave 24–48 hours before
Shaving exposes the follicle to laser energy. Do NOT wax or thread for 4 weeks prior.
Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks
Tanned or sunburned skin increases risk of side effects. Use SPF50 consistently.
No retinol or AHAs for 5 days
These increase skin sensitivity. Discontinue 5 days before your appointment.
Come with clean skin
No creams, deodorant, perfume or makeup on the treatment area on the day of your session.
