Laser Hair Removal
About this treatment
Have you had enough of removing unwanted hair time and time again only for it to grow back twice as thick, causing skin irritation and in-growing hairs in the process?
If so, our laser hair removal treatments are perfect for you. With treatments starting from as little as £45, our laser hair removal treatments offer a virtually pain free, permanent hair removal solution and will leave your skin hair free and silky smooth.
Our high quality medical laser and IPL machines use selective photothermolysis to destroy the regenerative cells of the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by melanin by creating heat that travels down the follicle.
The laser sends a light into the skin which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft. This laser light pulses just long enough to disable the hair follicle’s ability to re-grow. A course of 6-8 treatments are usually required 4-6 weeks apart.
Suitable for both men and women on most areas of the body. Test patch and consultation free of charge. If your hair is white or very light blonde then laser and IPL treatments will not work due to the lack of pigment for the laser to target.

Frequently asked questions
IPL emits pulses of light that are absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle, inhibiting future hair growth.
IPL works best on individuals with fair skin and dark hair. It is less effective on very light or red hair, as they have less melanin. It may not be suitable for very dark skin tones, as the skin may absorb too much of the light energy.
Most people find IPL to be relatively painless. It can feel like a mild rubber band snap or a warm sensation on the skin. Some individuals may experience slight discomfort, but it's generally well-tolerated.
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light.
