unwanted hair reduction can be done by undergoing laser therapy which might take few sittings. if they are any underlying hormonal issues it should be treated by consulting gynaecologist. if no imbalance with hormone yes then can be reduced
but patience is required when it comes to time.

Treatment for unwanted hair:- is Laser hair reduction by using Diode technology.
Multiple sessions are needed (6-8) sessions depending upon the growth of hair.
Unwanted hair is a sign of hormonal imbalance.
Few blood tests might be needed & evaluated.
Also USG (pelvis) is required to Rule out PCOD.

Thanks for the query.
Laser hair removal is actually laser hair reduction treatment. Multiple sessions are needed at an interval of 6-8 weeks and can last for a year or so to achieve a desired result. If there are no medical reasons for increased facial or body hair, you can start this procedure. Usually it is safe and painless and has no down time. There are various types of laser hair removal machinery available and based on your hair type; the Dermatologist will recommend a suitable one. The charge may vary depending upon the area treated, the cost of the machine and expertise of the Dermatologist. Standard clinics with good laser hair removal machines like Light sheer duet diode or Alma Soprano Ice charge (at present these are some examples of good machines) Rs 5000/ for facial hairs for a single session. Remember gray hairs (white hair) do not respond to this laser protocol and they will continue their growth as usual.
Hope it helps you.
