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.

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

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.
