FAQs

How does Laser Hair Removal treatment work?

Laser hair removal treatment works by using light energy to heat up the hair follicles in the skin and when enough heat is produced, the follicle is destroyed preventing re-growth of the hair. It is a very safe and effective process, with many people seeing between 80-90% less hair growth after a course.

Is laser hair removal suitable for dark or asian skin?

Laser Hair Removal is an ideal option for those looking for a semi-permanent reduction in hair growth.

Previously, laser hair removal on dark or Asian skin has been difficult as dark or Asian skin often has more melanin which makes it more prone to burning and pigmentation.

Technology has since improved and here at The Private Clinic, we have a team of expert laser therapists who are experienced in treating all skin types including Asian, Arabic and ethnic skin types.

We use Nd-Yag laser machines to perform our laser hair removal treatments. The YAG laser wavelength goes deeper into the skin than other laser types which means it bypasses the melanin in your skin making it the safest option for dark skin.

All patients are required to have a free patch test before going ahead with treatment, even if they have been treated successfully elsewhere before.

How soon will I see the results from Laser Hair Removal?

You will notice an improvement within the first few weeks after your first treatment. Whilst you may still see hair regrowth, you should notice that hair is starting to grow back slower than before.

The results of Laser Hair Removal treatment will continue to improve over time as you complete your recommended course of treatment which is usually 6-8 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Results will vary from patient to patient. The colour and thickness of your hair, the area treated, the type of laser used, and the colour of your skin will all affect the results.

How much does Laser Hair Removal cost?
We don’t believe in hidden costs or unfair price deals, so tell you all the prices upfront. All our Laser Hair Removal therapists are fully trained and have extensive experience to make sure you get the best results possible for the very best price. Please note prices are subject to change and the prices below should be seen as a guide. Please book a consultation for a more accurate treatment quote.
