Laser Hair Reduction
Laser-based reduction of unwanted hair following skin and hair assessment. Several sessions are usually required, and suitability and results vary with skin type and hair characteristics.
Who it suits
- Unwanted hair on the face or body after a skin and hair assessment
- People who understand that reduction, not permanent removal, is the realistic aim
What to expect
- 01Skin type and hair characteristics are assessed to choose settings
- 02Treatment is delivered on the clinic's Candela GentleLase Pro, an alexandrite platform
- 03A patch test may be carried out before a full session
- 04Treatment is delivered in a course rather than a single visit
- 05Aftercare, including sun protection, is explained
Common questions
- How many sessions will I need?
- It varies with skin type, hair colour and coarseness, and the area treated. The clinician will give you an indication after assessing you rather than a fixed number up front.
- Does it work on all skin types?
- Suitability and settings differ by skin type, and some combinations of skin and hair respond less well. This is assessed before treatment.
