Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Laser hair removal is a process which works to permanently reduce hair growth in targeted areas. Our specialists carry out the treatment, targeting unwanted hair with lasers to damage or the hair follicles, which ultimately prevents regrowth.

The laser works by damaging and destroying targeted hair follicles, preventing regrowth. The laser emits light energy which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This targets the hair roots beneath the skin at stages of their growth cycles, damaging the bulb and regrowth, a process called photothermolysis. This is why we recommend at least 8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to ensure all follicles are targeted at the right time.

Laser hair removal is described as feeling like the flick of an elastic band, or it can be a little painful for some. However, as more of the hair follicles are destroyed, the treatment will become less painful. The level of pain experienced will vary depending on the areas being targeted and your individual sensitivity. Our will ensure you are comfortable and your is always safe.

Laser hair removal is approved to deliver permanent hair of up to 90%. You can expect to see your best after a course of 8-12, after which the hair will have reduced dramatically and the skin is silky-smooth. Some clients, however, may need top ups depending on their changes over time.

We recommend having at least 8 sessions per area to see permanent results. Depending on your hair type and goals, you may wish to have more or less. Our will be able to advise you on how many sessions will be needed.

We generally recommend spacing sessions between 4 and 6 weeks apart, depending on the area and hair growth, but your specialist will advise on the frequency of your treatments to obtain optimum results. This is to ensure the hair follicles are targeted at the correct stage of their growth cycle.

Hair grows in four phases: the anagen phase, the catagen phase, the telogen phase and the exogen phase. To prevent re-growth, the hair follicle must be targeted during the anagen phase, which is the only part of the growth cycle that the hair follicle is attached to the bulb. Individual hairs will most likely be in different parts of the hair growth cycle at any one time, that’s why a course of treatment is required. Your will discuss this with you during your initial consultation, but as a guide we usually recommend around 8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart (depending on the area to be treated).
