So what is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is the most effective method of hair removal available that can be used almost anywhere on the face and body. Unlike other methods such as waxing and shaving laser hair removal gives long lasting results.
The hair will become finer and softer meaning less visible and the growth will slow down more and more with each treatment.
How Does it Work?
Laser hair removal uses light energy to damage or destroy individual hair follicles. This treatment targets the roots beneath the surface of the skin using a medical grade laser to prevent regrowth.
The hair follicle must be targeted at a specific time during its growth cycle to prevent the hair from returning. As individual hairs could be in different parts of the hair growth cycle at any one time, you will need several treatment sessions to see long-lasting results. We usually recommend a minimum of 8 appointments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Laser hair removal is suitable for men and women with all skin tones. It works on your entire body, including sensitive areas such as the face and bikini line.
Popular laser hair removal targets include: Facial Hair, Leg Hair, Bikini Area, Underarm Hair, Back Hair and Chest Hair.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
Our laser hair removal treatment enables you to benefit from smooth skin, avoiding the in-grown hairs and irritation that can occur with shaving.
Results are also more permanent than waxing, sugaring or hair removal creams/depilatory creams.
Unlike IPL (intense pulsed light), laser hair removal is suitable for dark skin tones and hard-to-reach areas.
In contrast to electrolysis, it can be used to remove hair all over the body, with the ability to target large areas at one time. Have a question? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions for some helpful answers.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal offers a reduction of up to 90%. Any hair that does grow back will be finer, lighter and softer, with the additional benefit of smoother skin.

Laser hair removal vastly reduces the need for shaving and waxing, so you can say goodbye to ingrown hairs, shaving rash and stubble.
Save time and money

Can laser hair removal be used on any skin type?
We are pleased to be able to treat any skin type, ranging from very fair to very dark. Our lasers can be adjusted to work with any hair and skin combination, provided that there is enough pigment in the hair (i.e. it is dark enough to attract the laser.)
Laser hair removal is now safe for olive, brown and black skin tones.

Frequently Asked Questions…
The lasers used in this treatment are very precise so can be used to remove hair on the face, underarms, bikini line / Brazilian, back, chest, neck, hands, legs, feet – anywhere on the body where the hair has enough pigment to attract the laser light, even very sensitive areas.
Yes. One of the reasons laser hair removal is ideal for men is that it works equally well across the entire body and has long-lasting results. From a few unwanted tufts, to an entire back, chest or stomach, laser hair removal is efficient and effective.
Laser Hair Removal is described as a warm heat with a slight tingling sensation. The more sessions you have, the less pain you feel as there are fewer hair follicles targeted.
The laser emits light energy, which is absorbed by melanin in the hair. If in the right stage of growth, this causes the hair follicle to overheat and damages the bulb, preventing regrowth. The process is called photothermolysis.
Most of our clients see a result of up to 90% reduction in hair growth. Results are dependent on hair type and colour with a long lasting reduction.
MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS
Some clients require maintenance appointments. For any clients that have completed a course of laser hair removal with us, your maintenance sessions are half price.
Although results are permanent, top up treatments are recommended every 4-12 months depending on each individual. Many clients however can go years without ever needing a top up treatment.
WHY WOULD I NEED A MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT?
Due to hormonal triggers or dormant follicles that have become active. We recommend if you notice any new hairs that have appeared to come and see us for a top up of your laser hair removal.
Our treatments are very gentle and virtually pain-free.
Treatment is safe on all skin types and colours, so it’s suitable for anyone looking for silky-smooth results. As the laser is attracted to the pigment of the hair follicle, the only consideration is whether your unwanted hair has enough pigment to be treated. Your practitioner will discuss this in your consultation.
Absolutely, laser hair removal is safe. The laser targets only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. You may experience some redness, but this should subside within 24 hours.
No, Cancer is caused by UV spectrum of light. Ultra violet light which irradiates the cell’s DNA causing irregular growth changes which can cause cancerous growths. Laser hair removal uses the red spectrum of light- specifically infra-red which is only absorbed by the dark pigment in your hair called melanin. This cause no changes to your skin cells and is very safe.
Waxing regularly and over long periods of time can cause damage such as darkening and lightening of the skin (hyper and hypo pigmentation) in grown hairs which can lead to scarring.
With laser hair removal as it reduces the thickness of the hairs and isn’t abrasive to the skin it doesn’t have any detrimental effects to the skins tone and texture and as after a course of treatments the hair is reduces in thickness darkness and amount the regularity of removing the hair is massively reduced and can help the skin return near to normal condition.
In a sample of over 10,000 treatments, the average hair reduction after 12 treatments was 68 – 74%. A minimum of 8 treatments is required.
Hair growth has many factors and hormones play a big part in hair growth, so top up treatments to maintain the reduction may be required but it is worth it to keep the skin smooth and the hair reduce and slow growing – especially if you suffer from ingrown hairs.
With a permanent reduction in growth an average of 68 – 74%. the hair will be finer, lighter and much slower growing with the additional benefit of smoother skin.
By shaving far less often you will never need to worry about seeing a hair shadow or prickly legs again.
The money you spend on waxing over time and the toll it takes on the skin,makes hair removal a way to maintain skins health and save money in the long run.
Ingrown hair can completely go after having a course of laser hair removal- no more painful waxing sessions and subsequent scarring.
Hair removal on the face will take away the dark shadow improve skin tone from need to wax shave and pluck are less or not at all in some cases. Reduces embarrassment and the need to constantly use make up to cover the shadow.
Our treatments will never harm your skin. There may be a little redness, but this will fade within 24 hours.
Got a tan? Had a skin reaction to something?
No problem, it’s just really important that you let us know, as this can make a difference when it comes to providing the best treatment.
Laser hair treatment is fine for any skin type or colour, as long as your hairs are dark enough to attract the laser.
You will need to come for a consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before any appointment. Consultations are £25 and are fully refundable if a laser hair appointment/course is booked.
- In between treatments you must only shave the hair.
- No plucking, waxing, threading or hair removal creams is allowed.
- You will also need to avoid any sun exposure during a course of treatments. This includes sun beds, holidays and fake tan (around the time of the treatment).
