Customised treatments- We have many years experience and a range of hair removal lasers and IPL. You will be treated with the machine that would provide best results for your unique requirements.

Best lasers- With deregulation of lasers the market has been flooded with cheap devices. Some lasers have been tested by consulting room and found to be very dangerous as there is no standardization of laser output. Don't take risks of poor results or worst still- complication which may result is more cost and time to put right. A machine is only as good as it's operator. As one machine cannot be best for everyone we have invested in multiple machines.

We also treat a large number of gender reassignment patients very successfully.

Alexandrite Laser hair removal is safe and effective. It is a non-invasive, long-lasting solution to unwanted hair on the face, back, legs, bikini line or any other body area. It can help relieve shaving bumps and many men prefer to have hair removal from their back, shoulders and chest areas. We also use a Nd-yag laser for hair removal. IPL has more variables then lasers and high operator experience is required for good results. We use IPL and Nd-Yag machines made by Lumenis corporation-the inventor of IPL and our Alexandrite laser is generally recognised as Rolls-Royce of hair removal lasers. [ more about our laser here]

4-6 sessions are generally required for long term results and these may be spread over more than a year based on hair growth cycle on the particular area being treated.

Imagine not having to shave, tweeze, wax or go through electrolysis again....

Why have laser hair removal?

Lasers and IPL can be used to remove unwanted normal hair as well as abnormal hair growth which can cause psychological problems and lower self-esteem. Treatments is very cost effective when compared to other methods of hair removal. It provides long-term hair reduction so there is no need to keep on having regular treatments. Shaving, waxing and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must be repeated on a regular basis. These may be cheaper initially but prove costly over the long term as costs add up.

Electrolysis can be time-consuming and is usually limited to small areas, because each hair is treated individually. Laser hair removal is non-invasive, and safely removes unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in under 10 minutes; legs and larger areas can take longer. The same area would require more than 40 hours of needle Electrolysis.

What is the difference between IPL and Laser hair removal?

The absorption of light by hair and skin is dependent on the wavelength (colour) of the light. IPL uses a broader spectrum of light but lasers are made of one specific wavelength. Both IPL and lasers are excellent at hair removal in skilled hands and most studies show long term hair reduction. It is important to choose a high powered machines and an experienced operator for best results.

What is the best laser for hair removal?

Alexandrite laser for lighter skin and Nd-yag laser for darker skin. IPL is most effective for fine, lighter hair in patients with lighter skin. It is also very gentle for facial hair removal. You can watch our lasers in action here and Channel 4 video here

What about painfree/ home laser devices?

A certain temperature rise in hair follicles [root of the hair] is essential for permanent reduction in hair growth. Low energy treatments merely prolong the resting phase of hair follicles. These devices do not match long term results produced by dedicated high powered lasers which are a tried and tested solution. Anyone can reduce hair growth for 1 year. Success of hair removal is measured by what happens in subsequent years. Our patients do not come for regular top ups. Once the treatment course is finished-it is finished.
