Laser treatments at AURA use focused light energy to address specific concerns such as unwanted hair, acne and other scars, and unwanted tattoos. Rather than using the same laser settings for everyone, each treatment is planned according to your skin type, tone, the area being treated, and the specific concern.
Every laser procedure is guided by Dr. S. Mirunaalini (MBBS, MD-DVL), Consultant Dermatologist & Cosmetologist. Your skin and treatment area are assessed before the appropriate laser procedure and settings are selected.
Skin tone, hair thickness, scar characteristics, and tattoo colour or depth can all affect how a laser treatment should be performed. The goal is to use a suitable approach for your individual concern while setting realistic expectations about treatment sessions and results.

Laser hair reduction uses concentrated light energy to target hair follicles beneath the skin. The laser energy is absorbed primarily by pigment in the hair, generating heat that affects the follicle and reduces its ability to produce new hair.
Unlike shaving, waxing, and threading, which remove visible hair temporarily, laser hair reduction works at the follicle level and can provide longer-lasting reduction in hair growth. The response varies between individuals depending on factors such as hair colour, thickness, skin tone, hormonal influences, and the treatment area.
Skin tone and hair characteristics are assessed before treatment because laser settings need to be selected carefully for each individual. Sessions are also spaced according to the hair growth cycle, as follicles respond differently depending on their growth phase.
Targets hair follicles for longer-lasting reduction
Laser settings adjusted according to skin tone and hair type
Progressive reduction in hair growth across treatment sessions
Minimal downtime for most patients
Can be considered for areas such as the face, underarms, arms, legs, and bikini line
Skin tone, hair type, density, and the treatment area are assessed.
Laser settings and treatment intervals are selected according to your individual profile.
The laser is applied to the selected area to target active hair follicles.
Progress is reviewed across sessions, with treatment intervals adjusted according to hair growth and response.
Laser scar revision uses controlled laser energy to treat selected scarred skin and stimulate the skin's natural remodeling process. It may be considered for certain acne scars, surgical scars, and scars caused by injuries where changes in texture, depth, or surface appearance are present.
Not all scars respond in the same way to laser treatment. Scar type, depth, location, age, skin type, and previous treatments are assessed before a procedure is recommended. Depending on the scar, laser treatment may be used as part of a broader scar-management plan rather than as a standalone procedure.
Treatment is generally planned across multiple sessions, allowing the skin time to recover and gradually remodel between treatments.
Treatment intensity adjusted according to scar type and depth
Supports gradual improvement in skin texture and scar appearance
Can be considered for selected acne, surgical, and injury-related scars
Treatment can be phased across multiple sessions
Allows progress to be reviewed and treatment adjusted when required
The scar is examined to assess its type, depth, location, and overall skin condition.
Laser intensity and treatment intervals are selected according to the individual scar and skin type.
Controlled laser energy is applied to the selected scarred areas.
Skin recovery and progress are reviewed between sessions, with further treatment planned when appropriate.
Laser tattoo removal uses concentrated laser pulses to target tattoo pigment beneath the skin. The laser energy breaks the ink into smaller particles, which the body's natural processes gradually clear over time.
The response to tattoo removal varies considerably between tattoos. Ink colour, density, depth, size, tattoo age, location, and the type of ink used can all influence the treatment response. These factors are assessed before treatment so a realistic treatment plan can be discussed.
Tattoo removal usually requires multiple sessions rather than a single treatment. Sessions are spaced apart to allow the treated skin to recover and give the body time to clear the fragmented pigment.
Targets tattoo pigment with focused laser energy
Treatment plan based on the tattoo's colour, density, size, and depth
Gradual fading across multiple treatment sessions
Treatment intervals allow the skin to recover between sessions
Realistic expectations discussed before treatment begins
The tattoo is assessed for its colour, size, density, depth, location, and other characteristics.
The appropriate laser approach and treatment intervals are planned according to the tattoo.
Controlled laser pulses are applied to the tattoo to target the pigment.
The treated area is monitored during healing, with further sessions planned after adequate recovery.

Your specific concern — unwanted hair, scarring, or an unwanted tattoo — is examined before any laser procedure is recommended.
Skin type, skin tone, hair characteristics, scar type, or tattoo features are evaluated to determine the appropriate treatment approach.
The selected laser procedure is performed using settings and intensity suited to your individual skin and the area being treated.
Your response is reviewed during follow-up, with treatment intervals or settings adjusted when necessary based on your progress and skin recovery.

Laser treatment can be considered for different skin tones, but the settings and approach need to be selected according to individual skin characteristics.
The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment and individual response. Hair reduction, scar revision, and tattoo removal each follow different treatment schedules.
The level of discomfort varies depending on the procedure, treatment area, and individual sensitivity. Appropriate measures can be used to improve comfort during treatment.
Results vary by treatment. Hair reduction develops progressively, while scar revision and tattoo removal generally require multiple sessions for gradual improvement.
Aftercare depends on the procedure. Generally, excessive sun exposure should be avoided and the specific aftercare instructions provided for your treatment should be followed.
