Laser Hair Removal
On average, we can spend £12,000 in a lifetime on regular shaving and hair removal products. The good news is there is a safe and effective way of getting rid of unwanted hair for good – Laser Hair Removal.
Here at The Private Clinic, our qualified therapists carry out close to 500 hair removal treatments a month – that’s nearly 5,000 Laser Hair Removal treatments a year, making us one of the UK’s best and most experienced laser hair removal clinics offering permanent hair reduction on areas such as upper lip, underarms, legs, bikini line, chest and back to name a few.
Many clinics are reluctant to treat Asian or darker skin because of the specific skills and technology required as well as the risks of burns and hyper-pigmentation, however, the experience of our practitioners combined with the technology we use means this is not a problem for us.

Here at The Private Clinic, we are also able to help reduce the symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) to find out more click here.
We only use effective technologies, and to ensure safe, effective results, we always test your suitability for any of our laser treatments. Our systematic grid approach to your laser hair removal treatment ensures that we tackle every inch of the area being treated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our laser systems feature innovative cooling elements to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Pain levels will vary from patient to patient and can also depend on the thickness of the skin in the area being treated.
Patients may experience slight discomfort during treatment and this is often described as a feeling similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The majority of patients manage to undergo treatment without too much discomfort, and the impressive results far outweigh any negatives.
Some areas of skin are more sensitive than others such as the armpits and bikini line in comparison to the arms and legs.
There is often some discomfort after laser hair removal treatment, but this is only a short-term symptom
This will depend on the size of the area to be treated, but may be as little as 10 to 15 minutes to remove small amounts of fine hair on the upper lip. Most areas will need about 6 sessions for optimum results. We will be able to give you a clear idea of how many sessions you will need after your consultation.
