Laser hair removal in Dubai, done by a specialist who does it every day
Smooth skin without razors, wax or ingrown hairs — that is what most people come to Dr. Kavitha for. She has spent more than 17 years in aesthetic treatments and today leads laser sessions in Manhal's dermatology department, treating women and men from the upper lip to full body.
Every session runs on a Cynosure laser platform with built-in skin cooling, with settings matched to your skin type and hair. And because she works inside a dermatology department, your plan is set by specialist dermatologist Dr. Abdullah Anis — so hormonal hair growth, pigmentation or a skin condition is spotted before it becomes a problem.

Laser on darker skin: how she keeps it safe
Darker and olive skin can be treated, but it needs the right settings. Dr. Kavitha starts with your skin type, sun exposure and recent tanning, then adjusts energy, pulse and cooling accordingly. A test patch shows how your skin responds before a larger area is treated. If there is pigmentation that needs medical care first, Dr. Anis treats that before laser begins.

What a laser session with her is like
- Check-in and a quick review of any new medicines, sun exposure or skin changes since your last visit
- The area is cleaned and marked; you shave it beforehand so the laser targets the root, not surface hair
- Protective eyewear on, settings confirmed for your skin type and hair
- The laser passes over the skin with continuous cooling — most people feel a quick snap and warmth
- Soothing care applied, aftercare explained, and your next session booked at the right interval
Session planning and aftercare
Hair grows in cycles, so laser hair removal works over a course: typically 6–8 sessions, 4–8 weeks apart, with face and hormonal areas sometimes needing more and occasional maintenance later. Dr. Kavitha spaces your sessions to match the area and your hair growth, and tracks progress at each visit.
- Avoid sun tanning and self-tan before and after sessions; use SPF daily.
- Shave, do not wax or pluck, between sessions.
- Skip hot baths, saunas and intense exercise for a day or two.
Full guidance: after laser treatment.

Is Dr. Kavitha a dermatologist?
No. Her role is Medical Aesthetician & Aesthetic Laser Specialist. Diagnosis and the treatment plan come from dermatologist Dr. Abdullah Anis; Dr. Kavitha carries out the sessions. This team approach combines medical decision-making with a laser specialist who performs these treatments every day.
Which laser does she use for hair removal?
Laser hair removal at Manhal is performed on a Cynosure laser platform with skin cooling. Settings are matched to your skin type, hair colour and thickness, and adjusted as your hair thins over the course of sessions.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most people describe a quick snap like a rubber band with a feeling of warmth. Built-in cooling makes sessions well tolerated, and sensitive areas such as the upper lip or bikini can feel sharper. Dr. Kavitha adjusts the pace and cooling if you are uncomfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most areas need around 6–8 sessions, 4–8 weeks apart, because hair grows in cycles. Face, hormonal growth and very dense hair can need more, and occasional maintenance sessions may help later. Your plan is reviewed at each visit.
Can she treat darker skin?
Yes, with care. She assesses your skin type and recent sun exposure, uses settings suited to darker skin and does a test patch where needed. If pigmentation needs treating first, Dr. Anis manages it before laser starts.
Does she treat men?
Yes. Men book for beard-line shaping, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Male hair is often coarse and dense, so sessions and intervals are planned accordingly.
How much does a laser session cost?
Price depends on the area, its size and the number of sessions. After your assessment you receive the price and any package in writing. Message us on WhatsApp to ask for today's price for your area.
What should I do before my session?
Shave the area a day before, avoid waxing or plucking for several weeks, avoid tanning and self-tan, and tell the team about new medicines, especially those that increase sun sensitivity. Arrive without creams or deodorant on the area.
Does she do other treatments besides laser?
Yes. Under Dr. Anis's supervision she also performs Q-switch laser, laser tattoo removal, lip depigmentation, carbon laser peel, PRP, PRF and GFC, exosome therapy, mesotherapy, lip whitening and plumping, HydraFacial and medical facials, chemical peels and IV drip therapy.
