How laser hair removal works
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to treat hair follicles, reducing regrowth over a course of sessions.
Because hair grows in cycles, sessions are spaced several weeks apart to treat follicles at the right stage. We’ll recommend a plan for your skin and hair type at your consultation.

Laser hair removal: your questions
Do you offer laser hair removal for men?
Yes. We treat women and men, with dedicated gents’ areas including face, sideburns, ears and nose, neck and back, shoulders, chest, tummy and underarms.
How many sessions will I need?
Hair grows in cycles, so laser hair removal is done as a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart. We’ll recommend a plan for your skin and hair type at your consultation.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most people describe it as a quick snap or warmth on the skin. How it feels varies by area and person.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes. Shaving is fine and recommended before each session. Avoid waxing, plucking or threading, which remove the hair the laser needs to target.
Can I combine areas?
Yes. Choose one area or combine several — including half or full leg, arm and underarm combinations, or full body.
