Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.
Laser Hair Removal is an aesthetic procedure to reduce or eliminate unwanted body hair. In an active lifestyle, it is barely possible for individuals to find the time to practice a regular self-care regime. Getting rid of unwanted hair on the chest, back, arms, and legs can be bothersome. With Regions Clinic’s Laser Hair Removal treatment, getting hair-free skin is no longer a painful task.
Laser Hair Removal treatment at Regions Clinic is an advanced and effective method of reducing unwanted body hair. This technology works on the hair follicles by targeting pigments in the body’s hair. During this procedure, the laser’s primary target is the melanin pigment in the hair follicles. Melanin is responsible for giving hair its color. A laser used for hair reduction doesn’t impact the pigment of the skin; it only gets absorbed by the hair melanin. The results transform longer, darker, and thicker hair into fine, thin, and light hair. We at Regions Clinic use 3 types of advanced laser treatment for hair reduction, which is safe for all the skin type in Malaysia.
1. Consultation
During your consultation, our certified aesthetic doctor will carefully assess your skin type and hair condition to recommend the most suitable laser technology—either Alexandrite or Diode Laser—for optimal results. You’ll receive personalized advice on the treatment process, along with clear pre- and post-care instructions to ensure a safe, effective, and comfortable experience.
2. Preparation
Before your laser hair removal session, our specialist will clean the treatment area and ensure your skin is ready for the procedure. You’ll be provided with cooling gel or device may be applied to enhance comfort. The doctor will confirm the settings based on your skin type and hair condition, ensuring a safe and effective treatment. Relax and follow our team’s guidance for the best results.
3. Treatment
During the laser hair removal treatment, our specialist will use advanced Alexandrite or Diode Laser technology to target hair follicles with precision. You may feel a slight warming sensation or mild discomfort, but the process is generally well-tolerated. The laser emits quick pulses of light to destroy hair roots, ensuring long-lasting results. The duration of the session depends on the treatment area, and our team will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
4. Post Treatment Care
After your laser hair removal, avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and strenuous activities for 24-48 hours. Apply a soothing gel or moisturizer as recommended, and avoid picking or scratching the treated area. Use sunscreen daily to protect your skin. Follow all aftercare instructions provided by our specialist to ensure optimal results and smooth recovery.

The science behind this effective Laser Permanent Hair Removal treatment lies in the principle of Photothermolysis. During the procedure, the laser of a specific wavelength emits light, and that light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) present in the hair follicles.
One of the critical challenges in laser hair reduction is distinguishing between the melanin in the hair and the melanin in the skin. However, advancements in laser technology and the use of different lasers have made the procedure safer and more effective for people with a broader range of skin tones. As the light energy is absorbed by the hair melanin, it converts into heat at the hair root level, thereby damaging the hair follicle. This process leaves the surrounding skin and tissues unharmed due to selective targeting, ensuring that Laser Hair Reduction Treatment is entirely safe for the skin.
For hair roots to get deactivated, laser light should reach the root, which can happen only when hair is connected to the root as it is in the Anagen or active hair growth stage. Hair growth occurs in cycles, and not all hairs are in the active growth phase (anagen) at the same time. Therefore, multiple treatment sessions are required to target hair follicles effectively during their growth phase.
This treatment works wonders for every hair, especially for dark hair. This is because melanin absorbs laser light more effectively. The main reason for the effectiveness of the Laser Hair Reduction Treatment is that it targets hair follicle stem cells, which are responsible for hair growth. By destroying these stem cells, the hair follicles cannot produce new hair. With multiple treatment sessions, the hair follicles in the treated area progressively weaken, reducing hair growth.
