Common Myths About Laser Hair Removal in Bangladesh — And What You Should Really Know

Dealing with unwanted body hair is a common challenge for both men and women. Shaving, waxing, or threading may provide temporary relief, but the hassle keeps coming back. That’s where laser hair removal has gained popularity — especially in big cities like Dhaka.

However, even though the popularity of laser hair removal is steadily increasing, a number of myths and misunderstandings still surround the treatment in Bangladesh, causing many people to feel unsure or hesitant about trying it.

In this post, we’ll break down the most common myths and reveal the real facts — so you can decide confidently whether this cutting-edge treatment is right for you.

Myth 1: Laser Hair Removal Is Painful

Fact: Modern laser systems are designed to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. At Skinic Dermatology Center, we use advanced laser technology with built-in cooling systems to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap of a rubber band — nothing unbearable!

✅ Tip: Always choose a reputable clinic with experienced dermatologists like Dr. Asif Imran Siddiqui for safe and comfortable sessions.

Myth 2: It Works Only on Fair Skin and Dark Hair

Fact: That might have been true years ago, but not anymore! Today’s laser technology can effectively treat different skin tones and hair types, including Bangladeshi skin.

At Skinic Dermatology Center in Dhaka, our dermatologist evaluates your skin type first and selects the right laser settings to ensure optimal and safe results for everyone.

Myth 3: Laser Hair Removal Causes Skin Damage or Cancer

Fact: This is a complete myth. Laser hair removal is a well-researched and dermatologist-approved treatment that remains safe and effective when carried out under professional supervision.

The laser precisely focuses on the hair follicles under the skin, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Research shows that laser hair removal does not cause cancer or any lasting damage to the skin.

However, it’s crucial to have your treatment performed by a qualified dermatologist to avoid burns or pigmentation — which can occur with untrained operators.

Myth 4: You’ll See Results After Just One Session

Fact: While you may notice reduced hair growth after the first treatment, multiple sessions are necessary for permanent results. Hair grows in stages, and the laser is effective solely on follicles that are in the active growth phase.

Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for smooth, hair-free skin.

At Skinic Dermatology Center, we create a personalized treatment plan based on your hair growth pattern and skin type — ensuring visible and lasting results.

Myth 5: Laser Hair Removal Is Very Expensive

Fact: Many people assume laser treatments are only for celebrities or the rich — but that’s not true! The cost of laser hair removal in Dhaka has become much more affordable in recent years.

When you calculate the long-term savings from avoiding waxing, razors, and salon visits, laser hair removal is actually a smart investment for smooth, low-maintenance skin.

Myth 6: Laser Hair Removal Is Only for Women

Fact: Another common misconception! Many men in Dhaka also choose laser hair removal for areas like the chest, back, beard line, or neck to achieve a cleaner, smoother look.

It’s a unisex treatment suitable for anyone who wants to save time and maintain good grooming habits.

Myth 7: You Can Do It at Home with DIY Devices

Fact: Home laser devices are often less effective and not suitable for all skin types. They deliver weak energy levels and can even cause skin burns if misused.

For safe and visible results, always go to a professional clinic like Skinic Dermatology Center, where every session is performed under the guidance of Dr. Asif Imran Siddiqui, a board-certified dermatologist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Laser Hair Removal in Bangladesh

1. What is laser hair removal and how does it work?

Laser hair removal works by directing a focused beam of light at the pigment in the hair follicle. The light transforms into heat, which weakens the follicle and slows down or prevents future hair growth.

2. Is laser hair removal safe for skin types in Bangladesh?

Yes — when done with the correct laser wavelength and by a trained dermatologist, it is safe for South Asian and darker skin tones. For example, long-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers have shown good safety in Bangladeshi patients. At the same time, it’s important to choose a reputable clinic (like yours at Skinic Dermatology Center with Dr. Asif Imran Siddiqui) for best results.

3. How many sessions will I need?

Most people need 6 to 8 sessions (sometimes more) separated by several weeks to get optimal hair reduction. The required number of sessions varies based on factors such as your hair’s thickness and color, your skin type, and the specific area being treated.

4. Will hair never grow back after laser hair removal?

While laser treatment significantly reduces hair growth and can produce long-lasting results, it may not be completely permanent for everyone. Some hair may regrow over time (often finer and lighter). At Skinic Dermatology Center we also plan for maintenance sessions if needed.

5. Does it hurt? What will I feel during treatment?

Most patients describe a laser hair removal session like a flick or snap of a rubber band on the skin, along with a warm sensation. It is usually well tolerated with modern cooling systems and techniques. If you are concerned about discomfort, we can discuss topical numbing options at Skinic.

6. What should I do to prepare and after the treatment?

Before: Avoid waxing, plucking or threading hair in the treatment area for at least 2-4 weeks, since the laser targets the hair follicle still in the skin. Also avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning.

After: Protect the treated area from sun, use broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoid hot showers or heavy exfoliation for short period, and follow your dermatologist’s advice.

7. Is laser hair removal only for women?

Not at all. Both men and women in Dhaka and Bangladesh are opting for laser hair removal – for areas like the chest, back, beard line, underarms, legs. At our Skinic Dermatology Center we provide customised treatments for male grooming too.

8. How much does laser hair removal cost in Dhaka?

Costs vary widely depending on the area treated, hair thickness, skin type, and number of sessions required. Clinics in Dhaka list variable pricing for areas like upper lip, underarm, face, arms and legs.

9. Can I do laser hair removal if I’m pregnant or have a medical condition?

It’s important to let your dermatologist know if you are pregnant, have hormonal conditions (such as PCOS), or are on medications that make your skin more sensitive to light. In some cases the dermatologist may advise waiting or modifying the plan for safety.

10. What results can I expect and when will I see them?

You will typically notice visible hair shedding and reduction within 2-3 weeks after a session. With each session the treated area should show less hair growth. However, full results will only appear after the full course of sessions.
