Walk into a consultation with questions ready, not just curiosity. Which machine does the clinic use. Who operates it. Does your skin type even suit this treatment. What will the full course actually cost once everything’s added up. Skip these and you’re likely one of the many people who end up disappointed with laser treatment for reasons that were entirely avoidable.
According to Dr. Jagatjit Singh Kohli of Agelock Skin & Hair Clinic in Chandigarh, “Hardly anyone asks what machine we use, though it’s a completely fair question and patients should feel comfortable asking it. If a clinic dodges that, or can’t tell you who’s actually running the device, take that as information worth noticing.”

What Should You Ask About the Clinic and Equipment?
Sort this part out before pricing even enters the conversation.
Machine and Technology Used: Lasers aren’t interchangeable across skin tones. Ask the clinic directly which machine they use and whether it’s actually built for yours.
Provider’s Qualifications: A dermatologist and a technician don’t carry the same level of training. Ask who will be handling the device on your skin, since that choice shapes both safety and outcome.
Hygiene and Safety Protocols: A clinic doing this right won’t hesitate to walk you through cleaning and sterilization steps. Vagueness here is worth paying attention to.
Before-and-After Results: Stock photos don’t tell you much. What actually helps is seeing real results on patients whose skin and hair resemble your own.
These are the questions worth asking before choosing a clinic for Laser Hair Removal in Chandigarh & Mohali, because the right equipment and a patient-specific approach matter as much as the price.
What Should You Ask About Cost and Suitability?
Good equipment doesn’t help much if the treatment was never right for you to begin with.
Skin and Hair Type Suitability: Some combinations of skin and hair respond better to lasers than others. Just ask outright whether yours fits.
Total Cost and Number of Sessions: Ask for one clear figure covering the entire course, not a single-session price that quietly adds up with each session.
Expected Downtime: Ask what level of redness or sensitivity counts as normal afterward, and roughly how long it tends to stick around.
Realistic Results Timeline: Skip vague promises and ask plainly when most patients actually start seeing change.
Walking in without the basics covered rarely goes well. This piece on what is laser hair removal, and how does it work is worth reading beforehand.
Why Choose Dr. Jagatjit Singh Kohli for Laser Hair Removal?
Dr. Jagatjit Singh Kohli, an MBBS, DHMS-Harvard, with a Masters in Clinical Dermatology, brings these questions into the consultation himself at Agelock Skin & Hair Clinic Chandigarh rather than waiting for patients to ask. That matters most for anyone walking into their first laser hair removal session, since the wrong approach can mean poor results or irritation that didn’t need to happen.
