Usage & Benefits
- Targeted reduction of chest hair across the sternum, pectoral area and upper abdomen — popular among male patients who do not want to shave repeatedly
- Long-term reduction rather than one-time permanent removal — maintenance sessions are expected
- Each chest session typically runs 25–40 minutes
- Smoother chest skin with fewer ingrown hairs and less folliculitis from shaving
- Built-in contact cooling on the diode handpiece improves comfort across thinner skin around the nipples and sternum
- Pain level on the chest is moderate — the area around the nipples and sternum is sharper than the outer pectorals
- Dermatologist-supervised at Derma & Dental Clinic, Bahria Town Lahore

- Apply soothing aloe vera or post-laser gel as advised

FAQs
How many chest sessions will I need?
Most patients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6–12 months. Coarse, hormonally driven chest hair may need more sessions.
How painful is chest laser?
Pain is moderate overall, but areas close to the sternum, nipples and underarm fold tend to feel sharper. Contact cooling on the diode handpiece helps.
How long is each session?
Roughly 25–40 minutes depending on chest size and hair density.
Who is suitable?
Diode laser works best on dark chest hair with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV. Very light, red, grey, white or extremely fine vellus hair often does not respond.
Who should avoid the treatment?
Avoid in pregnancy, within 6 months of isotretinoin, active skin infection on the chest, recent sun/tan, photosensitising drugs, history of keloid scarring or gold-deposited skin.
Is the treatment safe over the nipples?
Nipples and areolae are protected during the session. A patch test and consultation are performed before the first chest session to confirm safe energy settings.
