About

Permanent hair reduction on a results driven plan

Laser hair removal provides long lasting reduction and removal of unwanted hair on the face legs under arms, arms bikini line or extended intimate areas.

We offer a “Results Driven Plan” as we are confident in getting results for you. Because of this, we usually get great results by treatment eight, and if further treatments are required, they are free of charge up to a total of 12 sessions.

Please note treatment cannot be done on tanned skin and is therefore a great autumn winter treatment.

Say goodbye to unwanted hair

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light beams to target and destroy hair follicles, effectively reducing or eliminating unwanted hair growth. During the treatment, a handheld device emits pulses of laser energy that are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, heating and damaging them while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Over time, the damaged follicles are unable to produce new hairs, resulting in long-term hair reduction.

One less thing to worry about

Laser hair removal can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini line, and back. It offers a convenient and effective solution for individuals seeking smoother, hair-free skin without the need for frequent shaving, waxing, or plucking.

Treatment

Treatment step-by-step

Consultation

A consultation before laser hair removal treatment is crucial to assess your skin type, hair colour, and medical history, ensuring the procedure is suitable and effective for you. This initial evaluation helps in creating a personalised treatment plan and setting realistic expectations for the results. Additionally, the consultation allows you to discuss any potential risks, side effects, and pre-treatment care instructions to ensure a safe and successful experience. Please note you cannot have a tan or a fake tan for this procedure.

Treatment

Patients are asked to shave the area being treated the night before treatment. Using a state of the art laser system, light is absorbed by the colour in the hair whilst it is actively growing. The heat damages the actively growing hair follicle meaning it cannot regrow. Whilst the treatment is being conducted, the laser machine omits cold air over the treatment area to assist with redness and the warm feeling from the light. We always ask that you trim or ideally shave the area that is being treated the evening before the treatment. The hair will then naturally fall out 1-3 weeks later.

Aftercare

Ensure the treated area is kept out of direct sun exposure, avoid hot baths and saunas and stay moisturised. We recommend 4-6 sessions to ensure all hair follicles have been targeted.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. The laser emits pulses of light that are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, heating and damaging them while sparing the surrounding skin.

Laser hair removal is best suited to individuals with dark hair as it's the pigment in the hair that picks up the energy of the laser that then targets the hair follicles and stops producing hair. Dark skin can be treated but tanned skin or skin that has fake tan on cannot be treated.

Laser hair removal can result in long-lasting hair reduction, but it is not guaranteed to be permanent. Most patients experience a significant reduction in hair growth after a series of treatments, with some needing occasional maintenance sessions to maintain the results.

The number of laser hair removal sessions needed varies depending on factors such as the individual's hair colour, skin type, and the treatment area. With our treatment plan, you usually pay for 6 to 8 treatments but if a further four treatments are required these are free of charge.

Laser hair removal may cause some discomfort, often described as a snapping or stinging sensation, similar to a rubber band being snapped against the skin. However, most patients find the discomfort to be tolerable.

Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually any area of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, chest, back, and even sensitive areas like the upper lip and chin.

While laser hair removal is generally safe, some potential side effects may occur, including temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort.
