How popular is laser hair removal in the UK?
Over recent years, the technology used in laser hair removal in the UK has advanced. At the same time, this has made it more accessible, and there has been a steady increase in demand.

While treatments such as laser hair removal for the bikini line, legs or underarms are ones that first jump to mind, there are other popular options too. One of the most common requests we get is laser hair removal for the face. Male or female, if you have unwanted facial hair, laser hair removal’s permanent results mean you can ditch it forever and face the world without a worry. Here’s what you need to know about laser hair removal on the face.

Laser hair removal for the upper lip
While it might not be talked about very often, many women experience hairs on the upper lip. These tend to be much more obvious if your hair or skin is a darker skin tone. This can knock many women’s confidence and leave them feeling self-conscious.

Hair removal methods such as waxing can be painful on such a sensitive area. Plus, bleaches are full of chemicals you’d probably prefer not to have near your face. That’s why laser hair removal for the upper lip is a popular choice with women. It’s quick, painless, and permanent!

Laser hair removal for men’s faces
But it’s not just women who seek out laser hair removal for the face. Laser hair removal is for men too, particularly as men can spend a considerable amount of time and money dealing with their facial hair. Again, those with darker hair tend to find that they need to shave more often. Men often just accept it as one of those annoying things they have to do on an almost daily basis.

However, this doesn’t have to be the case. Laser hair removal for the beard can set you free from the shaving gel and razors. A course of treatments is required to achieve permanent results. But once that’s completed, you can forget having to shave your face on the daily.

Laser hair removal costs
PLUS, treatments such as laser hair removal for the beard can save you money in the long run. Whereas other hair removal methods involve ongoing and continuous purchases, laser hair removal costs are a one-off. You pay for your course of treatments and never have to spend money on removing the hairs again.

Laser hair removal prices depend on the area you are having treated but are much less than many people assume. Even better, at Therapie Clinic, if you find your treatment available for cheaper elsewhere, we’ll refund 10% of the difference.

Our clinics are located throughout the UK from Dundee to London. You can either book your online consultation or give us a call on 08000 121 565.

Laser hair removal in the UK
Laser hair removal in the UK is back! With lockdown easing, it won’t be long before you can visit our clinics and wave goodbye to that unwanted hair. The UK’s love of laser hair removal is not without reason.

Those who’ve already had a course of treatments, would have been feeling slightly smug over recent months. That’s because laser hair removal is permanent. Once your hair has been treated at the different points of its growth cycle, you can be hair-free forever! Plus, there’s the lack of red rashes, ingrown hairs, itchy stubble growth…need we go on?

But which areas of the body can you have treated?

Laser hair removal for the bikini
Let’s get right to the sensitive stuff! When people first consider this treatment, the main question they have is “does laser hair removal hurt?” The simple answer is no. Some describe the sensation as a bit like an elastic band snapping against the skin.

However, at Therapie Clinic, we only use the latest technology, and our laser machines cool your skin at the same time as it’s being treated. This means many feel hardly anything. Compared to waxing? Laser hair removal treatment is much more comfortable!

That means laser hair removal for the bikini line is a popular choice. We offer four different styles from a quick tidy up to going completely bare. Our laser hair removal prices for the bikini area start at £25. But just so you are totally confident in the value we offer, we also have a price match guarantee.

Laser hair removal for the back
Ok, so our automatic assumption when we think of laser treatment is to think this is something for women. However, laser hair removal for men is also incredibly popular.

One of the most common treatments for men is laser hair removal for the back. Some men are not fans of the hair they have on their back. In fact, they can feel very self-conscious about it. For example, they may think twice before removing their top. But it is also not an area that they can treat on their own. The permanency of laser treatment is, therefore, highly attractive.

At Therapie Clinic, we have many men visit us for laser hair removal. Sometimes they just want to tidy up the hairline or eyebrows. But more often than not, they want to treat a larger area such as the chest or back. The cost of laser hair removal for the back, shoulders and neck is £103. Again, we have our price match guarantee, which means that if you find your treatment cheaper elsewhere, we’ll beat it by 10%.

Got unwanted hair? Laser hair removal will sort it!
Essentially, laser hair removal is suitable for all areas of the body (although, obviously it must be kept away from your eyes!). If you have unwanted hair somewhere on your body, then laser hair removal at our UK clinics will get rid of it. Other common treatments include laser hair removal for underarms, the upper lip, legs, and chest.

We have clinics offering laser hair removal across the UK. If you want to banish the fuzz, book an online consultation or give us a call on 08000 121 565 and we’ll answer your questions and get you booked in!

The UK’s laser hair removal trends
Laser hair removal in the UK has moved from being a treatment for the few to one that is widely accessible and available on our high streets. Where once it was only women who sought this treatment, laser hair removal for men is now rapidly growing. It’s hardly surprising when you compare the results to other hair removal methods. Laser hair removal is permanent and protects against issues such as razor rashes and red, ingrown hairs and spots.

Who can get laser hair removal treatment?

But it’s not only men who are now appearing in clinics. In the past, laser hair removal wasn’t suitable for many people, particularly for those with darker skin or fairer hair. However, over the last decade, there have been considerable advances in the technology and laser hair removal for dark skin types and blonde hair is now available.
It’s essential to get this done by a professional clinic though so that they can ensure the settings are perfect for your skin and hair colour. That’s why at Therapie Clinic, we always give you a pre-treatment consultation. This allows us to assess you beforehand and ensure you’re suitable for the treatment.

What areas of the body can be treated with laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is safe to use anywhere except the eyes, which means it is suitable for all unwanted body hair. It can even be used on sensitive areas.

Laser hair removal for the bikini area is available at all our UK clinics

In fact, laser hair removal for the bikini area is one of our most popular treatments. We offer four different styles from a quick tidy up to the full Hollywood. Women also tend to use laser hair removal for legs, underarms and the upper lip.

For men, laser hair removal for the back is an obvious choice with it being an area that they’re unable to deal with themselves. Other popular options include the chest, back of neck and face.

How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal prices vary depending on the size of the area you are treating. For women, laser hair removal prices start at £19 for the upper lip. The price of laser hair removal for men begins at £32 for the centre brow.

We also offer a price match guarantee so you can be sure that you’re not only getting the best treatment but also getting it at the best price. Find your treatment available for cheaper elsewhere, and we’ll beat it by 10%.

The best laser hair removal in the UK
We have clinics offering laser hair removal across the UK. All of them are fitted with the latest technology. We have also carried out millions of successful treatments and are award winners. If you want to get summer ready with laser hair removal treatment, book your online consultation or give us a call on 08000 121 565.

As the UK’s leading provider, we don’t believe in keeping secrets about laser hair removal. Our clinics have carried out millions of treatments over the years. Now, with our expansion into London, we’re lifting the lid and telling you everything you want to know about laser hair removal at our London clinics.

How does laser hair removal work?
For those who are new to this, their first want to understand how laser hair removal works and what kind of results it can achieve. It is a quick and straightforward procedure that involves passing a laser over the area to be treated. The laser sends heat down the hair to the follicle, stopping it from working. That means that unlike other methods, laser hair removal is permanent as the hairs can no longer grow back.

What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?
It can be used anywhere but the eyes. This is just one of the many reasons it’s so popular. At Therapie Clinic, we offer a range of packages. For example, laser hair removal for legs, bikini and underarms is available for women.

However, laser hair removal for men is also becoming increasingly popular. This can range between small treatments such as the centre brown and more extensive ones such as laser hair removal for back, shoulders and neck.

In other words, if you have unwanted hair, laser hair removal can help you get rid of it permanently.

What to expect during your laser hair removal appointment?
At Therapie Clinic, you will be greeted by our friendly staff. Before your laser hair removal treatment starts, you will have a consultation to check suitability and run through what you are wanting from your treatment. Once your laser hair removal is completed, you will have another consultation that will cover the aftercare advice.

How much does laser hair removal cost?
The first thing to say is that laser hair removal prices are affordable. At Therapie Clinic, we also offer a price match guarantee to give you peace of mind that you’re not paying more than necessary.

Costs vary depending on the size of the area you are having treated. As a guide, laser hair removal for chest and stomach is £103 whereas laser hair removal for bikini and underarm is £49.

To get permanent results from laser hair removal, you do need to have a course of treatments. This is because not all hairs are growing at the same time, and instead, they grow in a cycle. The number of treatments required varies from person to person, but on average, it takes around 6-8 laser hair removal sessions.

How to book your laser hair removal in London
We have six clinics within the London area, including Uxbridge, Marylebone and Stratford. All are fitted out to the highest specification with the latest technology. To book your appointment, you can pop into your local clinic, use our online booking here, or give us a call on 08000 121 565. If you’re in London and want to get rid of unwanted hair, we’re here waiting to help you!

Why get laser hair removal in London?
Let’s get honest – winter is a time when we can let our beauty routines go a little. We remove unwanted hair less frequently. After all, who cares about the hair carefully hidden under clothing? That is until we decide to jet off for some winter sun or make our annual effort to visit the gym.

Suddenly, we realise we’ve got to drag out that hair removal cream, wax or razors. It’s such a bore and a drag. But with laser hair removal at our London clinics, you can forget your unwanted hair woes. Instead, you can get on with the million and one things you would much rather be doing.

Laser hair removal – a permanent solution
That’s because laser hair removal is permanent. With the lasers sending heat to the destroy the hair follicle, those pesky hairs cannot grow back again. Can you imagine the relief of throwing away all your hair removal products? Being able to just grab your gym bag and run? Not having to go through the pain of waxing everything before your holiday?

To get these permanent results you do need a course of laser hair removal treatment so that the hairs can be treated at all stages of their growth cycle but once you’re done…that’s it!

More time for the good stuff
Laser hair removal is ideal for those that have busy lifestyles. Not having to shave or wax regularly frees up your time. If you’re a mum, that means you don’t need to worry about a load of products that need to be kept out of your child’s reach, and you can instead focus on your never-ending to-do list. Let’s face it, you don’t get to go to the loo in peace, let alone the time to shave! If you’re young, fancy-free and single, you get more time to enjoy parties and dates without all the hassle beforehand.

Laser hair removal for men
Men are increasingly wanting to remove body hair, but that’s not always easy. There’s the small issue of areas that can’t be reached alone, and the hair also tends to be thicker and coarser. This can result in painful and red ingrown hairs. However, as laser hair removal for men stops the growth of the hair, you will no longer need to worry about this or finding someone to give you a hand regularly!

Is laser hair removal painful?
You know those videos of men screeching when a wax strip is pulled off? Those don’t exist for laser hair removal treatments. Why? Because laser hair removal is not painful. Most people experience no discomfort at all, and for a few, it has just a mild tingling sensation.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

Obviously, this depends on the size of the area that you are having treated. However, it is very affordable, and here at Therapie Clinic, we offer a price match guarantee for your peace of mind. We also have a special offer now where you can buy one area laser hair removal and get the second area for just 1p! As a guide, laser hair removal for the upper lip is only £19, and laser hair removal for a man’s centre brow costs £32.

Where to get laser hair removal in London
We have numerous clinics offering laser hair removal in London. For example, we have clinics in Bromley, Stratford and White City as well as our flagship clinic in Marylebone. You can find details of our clinics here, including those that are opening soon.

If you want to get the best laser hair removal in London, then give us a call on 08000 121 565 or pop into your local clinic where we’ll be more than happy to help you.

The rise of laser hair removal in the UK
Laser hair removal has grown in popularity in the UK for a good reason. As fashion trends have moved towards smoother bodies, people have been trying to find convenient and easy ways to remove unwanted hair. The advantages and results that laser hair removal treatments offer means it has become a firm favourite of many.

Once you’ve read the advantages below, you’ll also be hanging up your trusty razor and making the switch to having laser hair removal at our UK clinics.

Results of laser hair removal
Unlike shaving, laser hair removal stops any painful, red spots developing from ingrown hairs. You can also say goodbye to any itchy stubble regrowth. Instead, the laser targets the hair follicle and disrupts it, stopping the hair from growing.

That means that laser hair removal is permanent. Because not all the hairs grow at the same time, it takes a course of treatment to get these results, but from the first treatment, you will notice a reduction in the number of hairs growing.

No other method can offer these kinds of results. That’s why it is so popular with those who’ve had enough of spending their time shaving, waxing or using messy removal creams.

Cost of laser hair removal
Prices of laser hair removal in the UK are much lower than many expect. For example, laser hair removal on the upper lip costs just £19. For added assurance, Therapie Clinic also offers a price match guarantee – if you find your laser hair removal treatment cheaper elsewhere, we’ll beat the price by 10%.

Laser hair removal on the upper lip. This treatment is available at our UK clinics.

Don’t forget that because the results are permanent, you can have your course of treatments and not need anything again. That means that laser hair removal is also cheaper than methods such as shaving and waxing, where you are continually buying the required products for decades. Let’s face it, razors are not cheap and are only set to rise in cost!

Suitable for all areas
If you have unwanted hair, then we can remove it with laser hair removal. Our UK clinics can treat any area of your body, as long as it doesn’t involve your eyes. Popular treatments include laser hair removal on legs, bikini lines and underarms.

Laser hair removal for men is also available at all our clinics and is on the increase. This often includes laser hair removal on the back and chest. The full beard treatment has proved particularly popular with the trans community.

Why Therapie Clinic
It’s clear that there are considerable advantages to laser hair removal. Our UK clinics all offer this treatment, but why choose us? Well, we’re the UK’s leading aesthetic clinic and have over twenty years of experience. During that time, we’ve delivered over five million treatments. We only employ the best medical professionals, and our clinics are fitted with the latest technology to give you great results.

Get yourself booked in for your laser hair removal treatment by calling 08000 121 565 or pop into your nearest store.

What’s the deal with laser hair removal and ingrown hairs?
Both men and women can suffer from ingrown hairs. You shave or wax to get a clean look and smoother skin only for large, red and painful lumps to appear. It’s often just accepted as a side effect of hair removal. But with laser hair removal, ingrown hairs can be a thing of the past.
What are ingrown hairs, and what causes them?
These are hairs that either grow sideways or curl back into the skin. As the hair tries to grow, red inflammation starts to appear. Sometimes the hair follicle can become infected. They don’t look good, and they don’t feel good!
Ingrown hairs are generally caused by shaving or waxing. They can even be caused by clothing that rubs on the skin. The hair gets broken off, leaving a sharpness that can then grow into the skin. Those with curly hair do tend to be more prone to them.
Ingrown hairs can appear in a variety of areas after shaving or waxing such as the under the arms, face, legs and bikini line.
Laser hair removal and ingrown hairs
However, laser hair removal does not cause ingrown hairs. The laser technology works at the level of the hair follicle, disrupting it and preventing the hairs from growing. This means they are not being broken off.
Plus, laser hair removal is permanent. Early treatment thins the hair, so it comes through finer, but after a full course, the hairs stop growing. This means you can prevent ingrown hairs from other causes such as clothing. What’s not to love about no more, unsightly red lumps?!
Laser hair removal in the UK – your options
Woman with dark skin tone and hair-free armpits. Laser hair removal at our UK clinics can treat all skins tones.
If you want to get laser hair removal and bring an end to painful ingrown hairs, then you have a choice between at-home treatments and visiting a clinic. However, the lasers that you can use at home are of a much lower level meaning that you’re unlikely to get permanent results. They are also not suitable for all skin tones.
At a clinic, you can speak to a professional during your pre-treatment consultation and explain exactly what you are looking to achieve. Using a clinic will also increase the laser hair removal effectiveness as they will be able to use medical-grade lasers. Plus, they can make the necessary adjustments for your skin tone and hair colour.
Europe’s leading provider of laser hair removal
Our UK clinics only employ the best professionals so you can get the best results from laser hair removal. At Therapie Clinic, we have provided millions of treatments over the years and are Europe’s number one aesthetic clinic. Not only that, but we also offer a price match guarantee – find a laser hair removal treatment cheaper and we will beat it by 10%.
Find your nearest clinic and pop in to book your appointment. Alternatively, give us a call on 08000 121 565. Say goodbye to ingrown hairs and hello to smooth skin.

Laser Hair Removal in the UK
Laser hair removal in the UK has grown in popularity, in part because of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian sharing that it’s a part of their beauty routine. However, many people don’t realise that there are certain precautions you need to take before receiving the treatment. While we always check during the pre-consultation, it’s handy for you to know well in advance as some of these things require preparing a few weeks ahead.

Ditch the tan
Due to the way the laser technology works, it is best to avoid tanning for 4-6 weeks before your laser hair removal treatment. Having a tan can reduce the effectiveness of the procedure. For this reason, autumn and winter are the perfect time of year to start your treatments.

It’s also worth noting that you should avoid using fake tan too. Put those creams and sprays aside for now – remember, laser hair removal is permanent, so it won’t be long before you can return to the tan!

Stick to the razor
Laser hair removal works by targeting the root of the hair. However, some hair removal processes, such as waxing and plucking, work at the root level. This then reduces the effectiveness of the laser treatment.

To ensure this doesn’t happen, avoid waxing or plucking for 4-6 weeks before your appointment. Instead, just grab a razor and shave. The advice is the same for in between treatments. Laser hair removal is permanent, but it tends to take a course of treatments. Stick to the razor to ensure you maximise the effectiveness of the laser hair removal.

Go hairless

Before having laser hair removal, it's essential to make sure the area to be treated is free from hairs whether this is the underarm area, legs or anywhere else

When you go for a wax treatment, you need to attend with some hair growth. Many people are surprised that the opposite is required for laser hair removal. You will need to have removed the hair before you can receive your treatment. Hair being present in the area to be present can risk thermal injuries from the laser.

Don’t worry, though, we always check during the pre-treatment consultation, and we can quickly sort any issues if needed. As mentioned above, you should avoid waxing and instead shave with a razor. This is best done the day or night before your appointment.

Clean the area
Before having your laser hair removal treatment, it’s a good idea to clean the area to be treated to remove any natural oils. This, again, will help to improve the effectiveness of your treatment.

How effective is laser hair removal?
As you can see, there’s a little preparation involved. That’s why it’s so important that you pick a clinic that offers a pre-treatment consultation so that these things can be checked with you first. At Therapie Clinic, all our clients are given a pre-treatment and an after-treatment consultation. This ensures that your laser hair removal treatment is effective and successful, leaving you with permanent results.

We’ve carried out millions of treatments and are the leading clinic in Europe. Book your laser hair removal treatment with us online or give us a call on 08000 121 565.

Laser Hair Removal vs IPL

You may be wondering whether to have laser hair removal or IPL hair removal, especially as both may seem the same at first glance. For example, they both use a light source to remove hair. The light energy is converted into heat energy which causes damage to the hair follicle. This prevents further hair growth. Therefore, they are both long-term solutions to unwanted hair growth, and both reduce the growth speed and thickness of any hairs that remain.

However, there are differences between the two which you need to know before making an informed decision about which one you’ll use.

The difference in technology used
The main difference between laser and IPL hair removal is the technology that they use. With IPL, broad-spectrum visible light is used. The light has a broader field, moving outwards as well as downwards. The light is designed to target melanin pigments. However, because the light spreads wider, this can also target melanin in the skin, such as a mole or freckle, as well as the hairs.

However, how laser hair removal works is by using laser light instead. Again, this targets the melanin in the hair. The advantage of laser light is that it has a much narrower and focused beam with light travelling downwards without spreading out. This allows for the hair removal to be much more focussed, avoiding the pigmentation in the surrounding skin and the light can travel further down into the hair follicle.

You can look great in a bikini with laser hair removal, which can effectively remove unwanted hairs

Treatment time

Treatment times of laser hair removal and IPL do vary. With a broader light area, an individual IPL treatment can be quicker than a singular laser hair removal one. However, because of this, IPL also tends to be less effective and therefore requires a longer series of treatments making it more time-consuming in the long term. Laser hair removal also requires fewer top-up treatments.

Skin types
As the light in IPL hair removal treatments can target the melanin pigment in the skin, it is recommended that those with darker skin tones should avoid IPL as it can cause trauma to the skin. On the other hand, laser hair removal is suitable for all skin types because the light source is much more targeted. However, it’s essential to ensure that you are attending a reputable clinic who will be able to adjust the treatment to suit your skin tone.

Europe’s Number One Clinic
As you can see, there are numerous benefits to having laser hair removal treatment rather than IPL. While laser hair removal at-home treatments are available, for safety reasons, the lasers are significantly reduced in intensity, so you don’t get anywhere near the quality of the result.

If you would like laser hair removal, then we can offer this at all our salons in the UK. Our staff are highly trained and experienced, and we offer the most affordable prices. Find out about our guarantee here.

To book your treatment call 08000 121 565 or visit us online.
