Laser Hair Removal Guide
Laser hair removal is designed to permanently remove unwanted body hair by using the light energy from a laser. Unwanted hair is a common problem in women and men. Shaving, waxing, and tweezing only produce temporary results and can generally only be carried out on relatively small areas.
Laser hair removal treatment can be used to permanently treat and remove small and large areas of unwanted hair from the body.Best results occur in those with light skin and dark hair, and hair removal works better on coarse hair rather than fine hair.
What is involved with laser hair removal? The area is shaved and cleaned, and an anaesthetic cream applied. The laser then produces pulsed beams of highly concentrated light which is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles, damaging the surrounding follicle.
The procedure can be uncomfortable, but it is not usually painful. The length of a laser session may be a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. Any redness and swelling of the affected areas usually disappears in a short time. And most people return to normal activity right away.
Are there any risks associated with Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a safe procedure if carried out by an experienced person. Possible complications include:
Since darker skin is more susceptible to changes in pigment, tanning before laser hair removal should be avoided.
How many treatments will I need?
Most treatments require 4-6 sessions for long-term hair removal in any one area. The procedure can be repeated at monthly intervals, which is 95% effective. Some clients may find that one or more courses maybe needed as we treat every client as an individual.
How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal costs from £49.00 depending on the area treated.

Reviews
Joanne says - This is brilliant, I’ve only had one session of my laser hair removal and I can already see a massive decrease in growth x
Kelly says - Honestly I’ve been so Impressed I’ve been other places and the information and services were utterly rubbish in comparison to the service you’ve given me. It just proves that cheaper isn’t always better. But I’m 100% happy with my treatments so far Sam I can’t even begin to tell you. The prices for all the areas I’ve had done are brilliant my hair growth is really sparse now and once I’m finished with my course I’d happily pay for top ups. There’s no more shaving rash, do itching and it’s dramatically thinned my hair. I just totally feel like I’m at home from home. Keep up the fab work!
Emma says - totally professional fantastic prices and I’m really happy with my treatment so far. Thanks Sam x
