So, why have laser hair removal?

There are so many reasons people choose to have laser hair removal in Essex. First and foremost, it's an extremely precise treatment, targeting only your hair and preventing damage to other areas of the skin. Secondly, it's quick and effective, treating many hairs at the same time in a matter of minutes. Finally, many people agree that they experience permanent hair loss in the treated area after a course of sessions.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?

Our clients cite smoother skin, renewed confidence, and time, money and effort saved on beauty treatments as the main pros to laser hair removal. The biggest benefit is the aesthetic one – hair removal helps people feel more like themselves again.

How permanent is laser hair removal?

Evidence shows that a course of 3-7 sessions can lead to permanent hair loss. Hair grows in cycles, so several treatments are needed to guarantee that the hairs have been targeted and the roots destroyed. This then prevents regrowth.

How safe is laser hair removal?

It’s extremely safe. Most people only experience slight redness or tenderness of the skin after treatment, and serious side-effects, like blisters or scarring, are rare.

Can dark skin be treated with laser hair removal?

Yes, it’s safe and effective on all skin types, including Black and Asian skin.

How does the treatment work?

You’ll first attend a consultation at our Rickmansworth & Essex clinic, where we’ll talk about your skin in general, any concerns you have, and the risks and benefits of laser hair removal treatment. We’ll then carry out a patch test to minimise risks on the day. You’ll then have the treatment at a later date that suits you and your calendar (a minimum of 48 hours after your patch test).
