LASER HAIR REMOVAL - FAQ’S

  • Laser hair removal utilizes advanced technology that specifically targets the pigments within the hair follicles. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicles, heating them up and ultimately impairing their ability to regrow hair. Since the laser targets the melanin within the hair, it is crucial to avoid sun exposure or tanning prior to the treatment to minimize potential risks.

  • You will need a number of sessions to successfully achieve permanent hair reduction, every person is different and produces hair growth at different rates, a minimum of 6-12 sessions are required, with the need of annual top up if needed.

  • Our prices are competitive and start from as little as £30 per session. Our consultations are complementary with one of our experienced laser technicians who will assess your specific needs and discuss the recommended treatment plan.

  • While everyone's pain tolerance may vary, laser hair removal is generally described as uncomfortable rather than painful, our crystal freeze technology cools the skin making treatments far more comfortable than standard hair removal lasers. It's important to note that the level of discomfort experienced can depend on various factors such as individual pain tolerance, the location of the treatment area, and the sensitivity of the skin. Some areas of the body may be more sensitive than others, such as the bikini line or underarms. However, the discomfort is typically brief and tolerable for the majority of people.

  • Depending on your hair and skin type and the area being treated, you will usually require treatments at 4-8 week intervals. Each part of the body has a different hair growth cycle, so the hair loss will vary depending on what phase your follicles are in at the time of treatment.

  • No, unfortunately we cannot treat over tattoos with our laser. We can treat around the tattooed areas but going over tattoos will lead to damage to the tattoo and the skin.

  • After each session, individuals may notice a gradual thinning of hair and slower regrowth. Over time, the hair that does grow back becomes lighter, finer, and sparser. This reduction in hair growth continues with each subsequent session, leading to long-lasting results.

    The duration required to see noticeable results from laser hair removal can vary depending on several factors. These factors include the individual's hair growth cycle, the color and thickness of the hair, and the area being treated. Hair grows in different stages: anagen (active growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase when the hair follicle contains an abundant amount of pigment. Thus, multiple sessions are necessary to treat all the hair follicles during their respective anagen phases.Typically, individuals will start seeing some reduction in hair growth after their first laser hair removal session. However, it is important to note that complete hair removal takes time and patience. On average, most people require anywhere between 6 to 12 sessions, spaced 4 to 12 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.

  • Certain medications can cause photo-sensitivity to the skin and this may affect the skin's reaction to the treatment. These medications are but not limited to oral and topical vitamin A's, antibiotics, and certain anti-depressants. It is best to speak with your medical professional and obtain medical clearance. After obtaining medical clearance, we are able to test patch you with the laser to determine it is safe to commence treatment.

  • Yes - you can still have laser hair removal treatment while on your period. We advise you to wear a tampon or menstrual cup if you would like to have the Brazilian area treated.

  • Based on current medical advice, we are unable to perform laser hair removal during pregnancy. We advise putting any laser treatment on hold until after the baby has arrived and you have stopped breastfeeding.
