Laser Hair Removal

On average, we can spend £12,000 in a lifetime on regular shaving and hair removal products. The good news is there is a safe and effective way of getting rid of unwanted hair for good – Laser Hair Removal.

Here at The Private Clinic, our qualified therapists carry out close to 500 hair removal treatments a month – that’s nearly 5,000 Laser Hair Removal treatments a year, making us one of the UK’s best and most experienced laser hair removal clinics offering permanent hair reduction on areas such as upper lip, underarms, legs, bikini line, chest and back to name a few.

Many clinics are reluctant to treat Asian or darker skin because of the specific skills and technology required as well as the risks of burns and hyper-pigmentation, however, the experience of our practitioners combined with the technology we use means this is not a problem for us. Find out more here.

Here at The Private Clinic, we are also able to help reduce the symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) to find out more click here.

We only use effective technologies, and to ensure safe, effective results, we always test your suitability for any of our laser treatments. Our systematic grid approach to your laser hair removal treatment ensures that we tackle every inch of the area being treated.

FAQs

Does the treatment hurt?

Our laser systems feature innovative cooling elements to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

Although we offer IPL treatments, we do not use IPL for hair removal benefits.

To find out more about Laser Hair Removal for Asian skin, visit our information page or use our online contact form to come in for a laser hair removal consultation and free patch test.

How long does the treatment take?

This will depend on the size of the area to be treated, but may be as little as 10 to 15 minutes to remove small amounts of fine hair on the upper lip. Most areas will need about 6 sessions for optimum results. We will be able to give you a clear idea of how many sessions you will need after your consultation.

Is laser hair removal safe?

Adverse reactions are very rare. In fact laser hair removal is a very safe procedure when carried out by professionals with years of experience in this field. We use the most modern technologies, and we are registered with the Care Quality Commission, ensuring that we continue to comply with the highest industry standards.

Can I have laser hair removal with a sun tan?

If you have got a tan or your skin has had a reaction to something then it is important that you let your medical expert know as it can increase your risks of adverse side effects such as pigmentation changes.

At The Private Clinic we tend not to perform any laser treatments on tanned skin. Ideally any sun exposure should be avoided when having laser treatments.

We also advise that you do not use any type of fake tan, spray tan or gradual tanning cream in weeks before a laser hair removal session.

Your laser specalists will be able to discuss this is more detail and analyse your skin at your consultation.

What does the treatment involve?

Laser hair removal treatment works by using light energy to heat up the hair follicles in the skin and when enough heat is produced, the follicle is destroyed preventing re-growth of the hair. It is a very safe and effective process, with many people seeing between 80-90% less hair growth after a course.

Is laser hair removal suitable for dark or asian skin?

Laser Hair Removal is an ideal option for those looking for a semi-permanent reduction in hair growth.

Previously, laser hair removal on dark or Asian skin has been difficult as dark or Asian skin often has more melanin which makes it more prone to burning and pigmentation.

Technology has since improved and here at The Private Clinic we have a team of expert laser therapists who are experienced in treating all skin types including Asian, Arabic and ethnic skin types.

We use Nd-Yag laser machines to perform our laser hair removal treatments. The YAG laser wavelength goes deeper into the skin than other laser types which means it bypasses the melanin in your skin making it the safest option for dark skin.

All patients are required to have a free patch test before going ahead with treatment, even if they have been treated successfully elsewhere before.

How soon will I see the results?

You will notice a dramatic improvement after your first treatment.

How much does Laser Hair Removal cost?
We don’t believe in hidden costs or unfair price deals, so tell you all the prices upfront.
