As the leading aesthetics clinic in London, we understand how unwanted hair can affect your confidence and self-esteem. Whether it’s a few stubborn hairs on your chin or a full beard that you just want gone, hairy situations are never fun. Thankfully, laser hair removal offers a permanent solution.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light energy to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The laser is specifically attracted to melanin, which is the pigment that gives hair its colour. During treatment, the laser penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle below the surface. This heat energy damages the follicle to prevent future hair growth.
Multiple sessions are required to treat all hair growth cycles. The number of treatments depends on your individual hair and skin type, but most see 75-95% reduction after 6-8 sessions. While no treatment is 100% permanent, laser hair removal comes the closest, significantly reducing and slowing regrowth for most.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal in London?
There are several benefits that make laser hair removal the superior choice for long-lasting hair removal:
- Permanently reduces hair regrowth over time. Results last much longer than shaving, waxing or epilation.
- Precise technology targets hair follicles below the skin’s surface without harming surrounding tissues.
- Painless – our advanced lasers incorporate cooling technologies to minimise any discomfort.
- Time saving compared to other hair removal methods that need frequent repetition like shaving.
- No more irritated or ingrown hairs. Laser treatment prevents this by gently removing hair at the root level.
- Improves the look and feel of skin. By reducing hair follicles over time, skin appears smoother.
- Restore confidence and self-esteem by banishing embarrassing or unwanted hair forever. Feel confident in any outfit or situation.
Am I Suitable for Laser Hair Removal?
The ideal candidate for laser hair removal has:
- Light skin and dark, coarse hair for best results. Dark hair absorbs light energy better than fine or light hair.
- A realistic expectation of treatment outcomes. While laser hair removal is highly effective, no treatment can guarantee 100% hair removal success.
- Commitment to all recommended treatment sessions for long-term results.
- Our expert therapists perform complimentary skin tests to determine hair and skin type suitability. They can advise on the treatment best matched to your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal painful?
While some may experience mild discomfort, most clients report it feels like a gentle snap of a rubber band on the skin.
How long do laser hair removal results last?
On average, laser hair removal can reduce hair regrowth by 75-95% after 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. While no treatment is 100% permanent, results often endure for 1-3 years and hair grows back finer and sparser over time.
What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?
Any body area can be treated, including face, underarms, bikini line, legs and back. Our therapists will assess treatment areas during your consultation.
When will I see results after laser hair removal?
It takes 2-6 weeks to see hair shedding after each treatment as hair goes through its growth cycle. Multiple treatments are needed to target all hairs in varying growth phases for long-term reduction.
Is laser hair removal safe for all skin tones?
Laser hair removal works best on light skin with dark, coarse hair providing the optimum contrast for targeting. Our experts are specially trained to safely treat all skin types.
What should I do after laser hair removal treatment?
Avoid tanning, sun exposure and waxing/plucking for 2-4 weeks after to allow skin to heal fully. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser if needed.
