Laser hair removal is one of the most in-demand treatments in Dubai, offering long-term smooth skin without the hassle of shaving or waxing. Using advanced technology, it reduces unwanted hair safely and effectively. What should you expect before, during, and after the procedure?
Unwanted hair is a concern for both men and women, especially in Dubai’s warm climate where smooth, hair-free skin is often preferred. Shaving, waxing, and threading can be time-consuming and irritating to the skin. That’s why laser hair removal has become one of the most popular and effective long-term solutions.
At Elegance Polyclinic, we use advanced laser technology that is safe for different skin types and delivers long-lasting results with minimal discomfort. This guide explains the benefits, risks, and expectations of laser hair removal in Dubai so you can make an informed decision.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated light beams to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future growth. It works best on actively growing hair and requires multiple sessions for optimal results.
Common treatment areas:
- Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
- Arms & underarms
- Legs & thighs
- Back & chest
- Bikini & Brazilian area
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal in Dubai
- Long-Term Results
Unlike shaving or waxing, laser treatments significantly reduce hair growth permanently after several sessions. - Precision & Speed
Lasers target dark, coarse hairs while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Each pulse treats multiple hairs in seconds. - Less Pain & Irritation
Compared to waxing, laser hair removal causes less skin irritation and eliminates ingrown hairs. - Cost-Effective in the Long Run
While the upfront cost is higher, patients save money by avoiding constant waxing, threading, or buying razors. - Safe & Effective for Various Skin Types
At Elegance Polyclinic, we use FDA-approved lasers suitable for different skin tones, including tanned or sensitive skin.
Risks & Side Effects
Laser hair removal is generally safe, but like all cosmetic procedures, it has some potential side effects:
- Mild redness and swelling (temporary, usually gone within hours)
- Slight skin sensitivity
- Rare cases of pigment changes (more common if post-treatment care is ignored)
Our specialists provide pre- and post-care instructions to minimize risks and ensure the safest experience.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Consultation & Patch Test
We evaluate your skin and hair type, then perform a small test area to check sensitivity.Preparation
You’ll be asked to shave the area a day before treatment. Avoid waxing or plucking, as lasers target the root of the hair.Treatment Session
- A cooling gel is applied for comfort
- The laser handpiece is moved across the treatment area
- Pulses of light target hair follicles
Duration
- Small areas (upper lip) take just a few minutes
- Larger areas (legs, back) may take up to an hour
Aftercare

- Sunscreen and soothing creams are recommended
- Avoid direct sun, saunas, or harsh exfoliation for a few days
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
On average, patients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results depend on hair thickness, skin tone, and treatment area. Maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice a year.
