Laser Hair Removal
Designed for all different types of skin, laser hair removal is a permanent solution to remove unwanted bodily hair almost anywhere on the body. Unlike more traditional methods of hair removal such as waxing or shaving, laser hair removal is fast, reliable and is considered to be completely permanent.
The treatment itself is performed to reduce the amount of unwanted body hair and common treatment areas include the legs, armpit, arms, back, chest and bikini line, if we’re completely honest it’s possible to remove unwanted body hair almost anywhere on the body (with a few obvious exceptions such as the eyes and surrounding area).
A course of 6 treatments is recommended for laser hair removal, this is to ensure that the hair is effectively treated and targetted. On areas where the hair grows quickly (such as the area around the lips) then the treatment will be repeated sooner than areas such as the back where growth is slower. This is due to the growth cycle of the hair, and the repeated treatments allow the hair to be targetted at different stages of it’s growth cycle, maximising the amount of hair that can effectively be removed.

Why choose laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal sessions can be as short as fifteen minutes and all we ask of you is that you stay out of the sun, shave the area that is going to be treated and avoid using products such as lotions and creams to ensure that you receive optimum results. Nobody will be able to know that you are undergoing laser hair removal treatments unless you want them to know.
The majority of our clients describe the sensation of a laser hair removal treatment as a mild hot pinch, similar to being flicked with an elastic band and in most cases, the sensation goes almost immediately.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal treatments work by passing light through the skin which is then absorbed into the melanin in the hair shaft that is responsible for regrowth and thermally destroys the cells. After approximately 6 treatments, you will have gotten rid of up to 90% of your unwanted hair permanently.
Our laser hair removal machines combine 3 different wavelengths to ensure complete removal of the hair. These are;
- 755nm – This is for use with thin hair removal and is very effective in patients with lighter hair or for hair around the lips/eyebrows etc.
- 808nm – Used for most kinds of hair removal.
- 1064nm – Used for the deepest layer of hair as this energy can penetrate deeper into the skin. This is especially good for patients with darker hair.
Laser hair removal is a safe, fast and painless method of permanent hair removal that can be used for any skin type or colour and can be used to remove any unwanted hair from any area of the body, including the face, arms, armpits, chest, back, bikini area and legs.
What are the benefits?
When it comes to laser hair removal, the clearest benefit is the permanent removal of up to 90% of your unwanted body hair in a treated area. Whether this is the arms, legs, chest or bikini line, you can say goodbye to pesky razors and trips to the waxing salon.
It’s also something that is able to be performed to all skin types and complexions, and to all colours and shades of hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is laser the best way to remove hair?
Unlike its more traditional counterparts like shaving and waxing that require weekly maintenance and top ups, laser hair removal removes the hair for good and gives you long-lasting and permanent results.
How do lasers remove hair?
Hair removal lasers are specifically designed to emit light at a specific wavelength that is scientifically proven to be absorbed by the pigments within the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. This light is converted to heat energy which disables the hair follicle and stops it from producing more hair.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Laser hair removal can be performed pretty much anywhere on the body with a few small exceptions such as the eyes.
Is lighter hair more suitable than darker hair for a laser hair removal treatment?
In a word no, in fact it’s really more effective when the hair is darker, although we have performed multiple laser hair removal treatments for patients with hair of all colours and types, from ginger and curly to blonde and straight.
Why do I need a course of treatments?
A course of treatments is required for hair removal as the laser only effectively works on hair that is in the growth phase of its cycle, so ensuring that you spread treatments out over a number of weeks allows you to ensure that you catch each hair in its growth phase at least once.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
As with any skin treatment, it depends entirely on the person and how sensitive their skin is, as well as the area that is being treated.
What is the difference between laser hair removal and IPL?
Laser hair removal is more selective and more effective at absorbing into the melanin, meaning that fewer treatments are required. The laser treatments also penetrate deeper to specifically target hair structures which IPL typically does not.
