Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal can be used to significantly reduce unwanted hair growth on various areas of the face and body, often creating smooth, hair-free skin.

At Face Medical we find the need for laser hair removal differs from patient to patient, and even from men to women. Unwanted / excess hair growth can be considered unattractive by some, depending where on the face or body it appears. Improving this concern is a personal preference and this treatment can help to take away certain time consuming rituals, such as shaving or waxing, which often need to be carried out regularly.

Common areas for men to request laser hair removal includes: chest, back, neck, shoulders and stomach. Whereas women tend to want to treat: armpits, legs and bikini line.

Consultation

An examination of the area you want to treat is required as part of your consultation. We will need to assess both your skin and hair type before recommending this treatment, so we can accurately predict the type of results you’re likely to achieve. It’s important for us to understand your concerns before going ahead, as well as having an insight into your preferred treatment goal. We often carry out a patch test to get an idea of how your skin will respond to the laser, and we’ll also need information about your general health, medical history and lifestyle. If you haven’t had this type of treatment before, the consultation process will help you to prepare for the procedure and know what to expect on the day. You’ll also be given a set of pre-treatment instructions, including: avoiding tanning, shaving the treatment area before and between treatments sessions instead of plucking or waxing and not bleaching the hair you wish to remove.

Individual Treatment Programme

There are more and more laser treatments being introduced to aesthetic medicine. When we use it specifically for the removal of unwanted hair, we directly target the follicles. A laser is a powerful, concentrated beam of light that is delivered to the surface of the skin. It is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair which then turns to heat and damages the follicles (the tube-shaped sacs that live within the skin at the base of the hair). This process does two things: disrupts the hair growth cycle causing the hair to fall out, and prevents new hair from being produced. Due to the amount of follicles contained in the skin, which also depends on the size of the treatment area, a series of sessions are often required to ensure we address every one. Patients often require around 6 procedures before a significant result is reached, typically noticing around 10-25% less hair growth between treatments. The sessions are spaced out every 4-6 weeks as we need to factor in the hair growth cycle and allow for the skin to recover effectively.

Further Advice

Understanding realistic results is important. Whilst laser hair removal can provide a permanent solution to getting rid of unwanted hair, many patients will experience a significant reduction in regrowth. This can mean that although the treated area may not be completely hair free, the hair will grow back thinner, lighter and less conspicuous. The type of results you’re likely to achieve can depend on a number of factors, with the best outcome occurring if your skin is lighter in tone and with darker hair. We may not be able to perform this treatment on those with an active skin condition, or tattooed skin.

FAQs

How soon will I see results?

The results will develop gradually as the hair growth cycle takes its course. In general treated follicles will release the hair after 3-5 days. You’ll need to complete the treatment course to achieve the final outcome, so smoother, hair-free skin may take a few months.

How much does this treatment cost, and how long will it take?

The size and number of treatment areas will determine how long each session takes, often between 15 minutes and 2 hours. The price for laser hair removal will vary depending on the area being treated.  The initial test patch is £25. The prices for different areas vary and given below. We offer cost-effective packages for different courses of laser hair removal treatment.
