How Laser Hair Removal Works

  • The diode laser emits concentrated light, which is absorbed by hair follicle pigment, permanently reducing hair growth in the treated area.
  • For pilonidal sinus, laser hair reduction can help by minimising hair that may contribute to infection and recurrence.
  • The procedure treats multiple follicles at once, providing quick, precise results with little discomfort.

Who Should Consider This?

  • Patients with a history of pilonidal sinus disease or recurring infections in the lower back/buttock crease.
  • Those seeking long-term hair reduction for hygiene and to reduce risk of recurrence.
  • Ideal for those with darker, coarse hair; white/grey hair does not respond as effectively.

Myth: Laser hair removal is only cosmetic.

Fact: Medical use in pilonidal sinus can reduce recurrence and improve skin health under supervision.

Body Areas & Sessions

  • Mainly done in the natal cleft, lower back, and sometimes gluteal regions.
  • Session duration varies (10-40 mins) depending on area and density.
  • Multiple sessions required, spaced 4-8 weeks apart; typically, 6-8 sessions provide up to 890% hair reduction.

Do’s & Don’ts (Before Procedure)

  • Do arrive with the area clean-shaven as instructed by our dermatologist.
  • Do protect skin from sun exposure for 2 weeks before each session.
  • Don’t wax or pluck hair; shaving is permitted.
  • Don’t apply any creams, deodorants, or makeup to the treatment area on the day.

Do’s & Don’ts (After Procedure)

  • Do apply soothing aloe gel or cold packs if redness occurs.
  • Do continue gentle cleansing and moderate moisturising as recommended.
  • Don’t vigorously scrub or expose the treated area to heat (sauna, steam) for 48 hours.
  • Don’t pick, scratch, or irritate the area while mild redness or swelling lasts.

Q: How soon will results be visible?

A: Hair begins to shed 7-14 days post-session; optimal reduction occurs after several sessions.

Side Effects & Safety

  • Temporary redness, mild warmth, or small bumps are common; these subside within hours to days.
  • Rare effects include pigment changes or mild swelling; all typically reversible.
  • Strict protocols at DermaStation ensure minimal risks and maximised comfort for sensitive areas.

Downtime & Recovery

  • Most patients resume normal activities directly after procedure.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and friction at the site for 24-48 hours for best results.
  • Hair shedding and smoothness appear gradually over weeks.
