Marie Claire’s SPA SEARCH – The Private Clinic of Harley Street

Sick of cutting yourself with razors and having to shave every day in summer? Tired of the pain and expense of waxing to keep yourself fuzz-free? If the answer’s yes, then laser hair removal is for you. Treatments at The Private Clinic of Harley Street will banish unwanted hair permanently (yes, really!) in comparison to other methods that only offer a temporary, and often painful, solution.

Whether it be your legs, underarms, bikini line or face, the clinic’s high-tech lasers work on a plethora of skin and hair types for lasting results. The treatment works by using light energy to heat up the hair follicles in the skin and, once enough heat is produced, the follicle is destroyed which prevents the hair from growing back. Not only is the process safe and effective, but the laser systems used feature cooling elements that ensure that the procedure is as comfortable for the patient as possible.

A full course of treatment usually requires around six sessions for best results, but the length and cost of each treatment will depend on the size of the area being targeted. A small section like the underarms may take as little as 15 minutes to treat per session, and prices start at around £70 for a single session for an area such as the upper lip. Laser hair removal is available at The Private Clinic of Harley Street in London, as well as regional clinics in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Bristol.
