What to Expect and How Much Laser Hair Removal in Chandigarh Will Cost
Laser hair removal (LHR) is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in Chandigarh since it lets you stop waxing, shaving, and getting ingrown hairs for a long time. Below is a short guide of what to expect, how many sessions you’ll need, and how much it will probably cost at good clinics in the city.
1. How the process works
First, a dermatologist checks the skin and hair and may do a tiny patch test to see if the person is sensitive. On the day of treatment, the region is shaved, safety goggles are put on, and a cooled handpiece sends out pulses of focused light that target the melanin in hair follicles. Each pulse lasts only a few milliseconds, but it heals many follicles at once. A Zimmer cold-air device or chilling after the pulse keeps the skin pleasant. A treatment for the underarms lasts around 10 minutes, while one for the complete legs lasts 40 to 50 minutes.
2. How many sessions and how far apart they are
Hair grows in cycles, so each time you go, only follicles that are in the active (anagen) phase are eliminated. Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions for their face and 6 to 8 weeks for their body. Hair that is coarser or affected by hormones, like on the chin, beard area, or male chest, may need an annual touch-up.
3. Average cost in Chandigarh (per session)
₹1,800–₹2,500 for the upper lip
₹3,000–₹6,000 for underarms
Full face: ₹8,000–₹15,000
Brazilian/bikini: ₹5,400 to ₹7,200
Full body: ₹42,000 to ₹1.3 lakh (usually marketed as a package of six sessions)

Prices depend on the type of laser used (diode, Alexandrite, or Nd:YAG), the experience of the dermatologist, and whether the clinic offers package deals. Always check that the clinic has a doctor on staff and employs machines that have been approved by the US FDA.
4. Important things to do after care
You may see some moderate redness or swelling around the hair follicles right after the procedure, but this should go away in a few hours. Aloe vera gel and cool compresses help the skin feel better. For 24 hours, don’t take hot showers, work out at the gym, or wear perfume on the treated region. Also, don’t get threading or waxing done between sessions. You must use broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen on any exposed skin for at least a week after getting laser treatment because the skin is sensitive to light. Light hair “shedding” happens one to two weeks later. Don’t pull it out; moderate exfoliating helps.
Takeaway
Getting laser hair removal in Chandigarh is safe, predictable, and ultimately cheaper than going to the salon for the rest of your life if you go to the proper facility. For the best results, come in with reasonable expectations, stick to the whole course of treatments, and follow your dermatologist’s after-care instructions.
