About Laser Hair Reduction
Setting the Record Straight
I get a lot of questions about whether laser hair reduction makes hair vanish forever. Honestly, it doesn't. You’ll see less hair for sure, but it’s not magic. The right word is 'reduction', not 'removal'.
What Actually Happens
I use a Nd:YAG laser for this. Here’s the gist: the laser targets the melanin in your hair, heats it up, and damages the stem cells in the follicle. The hair gets thinner, lighter, and grows back way slower. But, haan yaar, (yeah buddy,) your body might regrow some hair over time, so you’ll need maintenance sessions.
What You’ll See
- Hair becomes fine and wispy, not gone overnight
- Growth slows down - regrowth might take 10-15 days instead of a week
- After initial sessions, you’ll need touch-ups every few months
Who Can Benefit
- Women tired of upper lip or chin hair
- Men wanting sharp beard lines
- Anyone struggling with facial hair due to PCOD or other medical reasons
- People just annoyed by unwanted body hair

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Pooja. Most days, I end up telling folks why that social media skincare hack isn’t magic. Feels like half my job! I joined WHO’s Fides network just to fight all this online myth-busting. Dermatology, for me, is about bringing back smiles, especially after vitiligo surgery. Jothege, nanu kannadadalli helbeku andre, 'Vitiligo antyavalla — adu bharavaseya aarambha' (Vitiligo isn’t the end, it’s hope starting). Beyond skin, I’m big on stress, sleep, and food making all the difference.
My Work

Dermatosurgery and Laser Services - I do NCES vitiligo surgery, punch grafting, and laser hair reduction for lasting results.
Root Cause Approach - No quick fixes here. I dig into your lifestyle, hormones, and stress before any plan.
Science-Backed Advice Only - I’ll never push viral trends. Expect honest, evidence-based treatments—Botox for wrinkles, real solutions.
Realistic Expectations - Most come to me after trying everything. I’ll give you a straight diagnosis, timeline, and lifestyle tips.
