Laser Hair Removal: Myths vs. Facts

Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments — but there’s still a lot of confusion around it. Let’s clear up some common myths and set the record straight.

Myth 1: Laser Hair Removal is Painful

Fact: Most clients describe it as a mild snapping sensation — far less painful than waxing. With modern technology, discomfort is minimal and tolerable.

Myth 2: It Only Works on Light Skin

Fact: Today’s laser machines are designed to treat a wide range of skin tones. At Kaara Clinics, we customise settings based on your skin and hair type.

Myth 3: It Removes Hair in One Session

Fact: Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed. Most clients see significant reduction by the 4th or 5th session.

Myth 4: It’s Unsafe for Sensitive Areas

Fact: Laser hair removal is safe for areas like underarms, face, and bikini line — when done by trained professionals using approved equipment.

Myth 5: It Causes Permanent Skin Damage

Fact: This is rare and usually a result of unqualified handling. With proper care and protocols, laser is completely skin-safe.

Final Note:

Don’t let misinformation stop you from making an informed choice. Laser hair removal, when done right, is safe, effective and long-lasting. If you’re considering it — start with a consultation at Kaara.
