Laser Hair Removal London

At any one time, only a small percentage of follicles will be in the anagen phase, so a course of treatment is needed to ensure that all follicles are affected and will not produce any more hair. Most people will need a course of between 6 and 8 treatments, after which time the hair will appear visibly reduced and skin will be smooth and even. For the best result, we recommend you wait 6 weeks between body treatments and 4 weeks between face treatments. We also suggest booking your laser hair treatment sessions in blocks of 6 or 8, so that you can benefit from the best discounts.

Session length is dependent on the chosen treatment, some treatments last as little as 15 minutes, but duration is very circumstantial. Don’t hesitate to contact us today for more information!

We would not describe any of our treatments as ‘painful’, however this is dependent on the pain threshold of the individual and how comfortable they feel during the treatment. We make sure that we manage your comfort levels as effectively as possible.

Yes, laser hair removal treatment is safe for sensitive skin in most cases. If you are unsure whether this treatment is safe for your skin type, get in touch for some free, friendly advice.

Laser hair treatment is safe for most areas of the body, including the face, head and neck, upper and lower body and bikini area. The only areas we have found unsuitable for laser hair removal treatment are around the eye and scalp area.

Hair reduction will begin after your first session! It may not become completely noticeable until you have had a few sessions, however. This is due to the hairs not all being in the growth cycle at once.

The results of laser vary from person to person as hormonal changes throughout a person’s life can affect dormant hair follicles becoming active. However, with our medical grade laser, we expect long-term results and can guide you in achieving these lasting results with a specialised treatment plan from one of our consultants.

The advanced, medical-grade Candela laser we use here at NYLC London is incredibly effective at long term hair reduction. The majority of our clients see results just after 1 session! We aim to target the active hair every treatment and estimate a reduction of up to 15% each treatment.

Practically anyone over the age of 18, as laser hair removal is safe and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. New York Laser Clinic’s staff are highly trained and specialise in treating men and women, both dark and Asian skin types, transgender clients both post and pre-op, and female clients suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). If you have specific concerns about whether laser hair removal is possible for you, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.

During your initial consultation, we will patch test the laser on the area of skin you would like us to treat. This is to ensure you have no adverse reactions to the laser. Following the full treatment, you will only feel slight sensitivity on the area, and perhaps a little redness. We will provide aloe vera after your treatment which helps to soothe it instantly!

We always recommend booking a course of multiple sessions for optimum results. As each hair follicle will have a different growth cycle, it is impossible to remove all hairs after one laser treatment. Between 6 and 8 treatments, you will notice the best results.

We ask that you shave the area you are having treated. This is so that the laser can be administered directly to the hair follicle and provide better results. You should also not wear any product before your treatment, for example deodorant on your underarms. We will cleanse the area before starting the laser to ensure no product is leftover.

Yes, you can have laser hair removal on your face and we will patch test to ensure no adverse reactions.

We recommend applying aloe vera gel to all areas that have been treated and avoiding hot showers for a couple of days after treatment. This can help to reduce any redness that may occur.

Yes, laser hair removal is safe for the bikini area and we will patch test to ensure no adverse reactions.

Most of our clients report very little discomfort during laser hair removal sessions at our London clinics. We usually describe it as feeling like you are being flicked gently with an elastic band on each shot of the laser! The feeling will largely depend on your skin type, and the area you are having treated.

Yes, we offer laser hair removal for men and transgender clients at all of our London clinics.

No, you should avoid any form of direct sun exposure during laser treatments as this can be harmful to your skin.

No, your hair will not grow back thicker. After each treatment you will likely notice hair shedding and in some cases your hair will appear lighter when it grows back.

We always patch test all of our clients to ensure no adverse reactions. If you take care of your skin and avoid sun exposure, there is no way for laser hair removal to damage your skin.

You can start a treatment at any time providing you have not recently been sunbathing or on a sunbed. We always suggest leaving a minimum of 6 weeks between treatments for optimum results.
