Laser treatments use focused beams of light to address various skin concerns. The term "laser" stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation—true laser light is collimated (all waves are parallel), coherent (all waves are in phase), and monochromatic (all waves have the same frequency and wavelength) .
The principle behind most laser treatments is selective photothermolysis—a site-specific, thermally mediated injury of microscopic tissue targets through selective absorption of radiation pulses . Different lasers target different chromophores (light-absorbing molecules) in the skin:
Melanin – targets hair follicles, pigmented lesions, and tattoos
Water – targets skin layers for resurfacing and rejuvenation
Laser hair removal uses light absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair. The heat from the laser damages the hair follicles, slowing future hair growth. The treatment is most effective when there is a clear contrast between hair colour and skin colour, such as dark hair and light skin. Most people need several sessions because hair follicles are in different growth stages at different times.
Ablative laser skin resurfacing removes the epidermal and superficial dermal layers of the skin to reduce signs of photoaging, scars, and wrinkles. The laser energy is absorbed by water in the skin, causing rapid vaporisation of the epidermis. This process also stimulates collagen production, leading to skin tightening and remodelling.

Dr. M S Premika is a highly qualified dermatologist with deep expertise in laser dermatology. With proper training and clinical experience, she ensures safe and effective laser treatments tailored to your skin type.
We utilise state-of-the-art laser systems for various indications. Our equipment includes advanced CO2 lasers, Q-Switch Nd: YAG lasers, and non-ablative fractional lasers that provide precise, controlled treatment with minimal downtime.
Our laser protocols are grounded in clinical evidence. For example, fractional CO2 laser has long been considered the gold standard for treating wrinkles, scars, and photodamage, with studies demonstrating improvement in rhytides by up to 90%.
Every patient receives a customised plan based on their specific concerns, skin type (Fitzpatrick skin type), and desired outcomes. This is crucial as laser settings must be adjusted for different skin types to minimise risks like pigmentation changes.
All treatments are performed in a safe, clinical environment with proper eye protection, cooling devices for comfort, and post-treatment care guidance.
We have helped numerous patients in Tirupati achieve clearer, smoother, and more youthful skin with advanced laser treatments.
The best laser treatment depends on your specific concern—whether it's unwanted hair, pigmentation, wrinkles, or scars. At Dr. M S Premika's Skin & Hair Clinic, we offer a range of laser options and will recommend the most suitable one for you.
CO2 laser treatment is a type of ablative laser resurfacing that uses a wavelength of 10,600 nm, primarily absorbed by water in the skin. It removes the outer skin layers and stimulates new collagen production, improving wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation.
Laser hair removal can greatly reduce hair growth. Some hair may be removed permanently, but hair can grow back over time. Most people need several treatments and occasional follow-up maintenance sessions.
It is most effective when there is a clear contrast between hair color and skin color, such as dark hair on light skin. Blonde, white, and grey hair have less pigment and don't respond as well. Red hair contains a different type of melanin that doesn't absorb enough laser energy.
We are a trusted clinic in Tirupati offering comprehensive, evidence-based laser care. Led by Dr. M S Premika, we combine medical expertise with advanced technology for personalised, safe, and effective results.
