Laser hair removal is one of the most popular treatments at our clinic in Corsham. Below are some frequently asked questions to help you decide if it’s right for you.

FAQs for laser hair removal

1. What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing hair growth long-term.

2. Is laser hair removal permanent?

It significantly reduces hair growth, but maintenance treatments may be needed.

3. How many sessions do I need?

Most clients need 6-8 sessions, depending on the area and hair growth.

4. Does laser hair removal hurt?

Thanks to IceTip technology, treatments are almost pain-free. Clients may feel a mild sensation, but cooling features reduce discomfort.

5. Is it safe for all skin types?

Yes, laser hair removal is safe for most skin types. Our technology tailors settings to different skin tones, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

6. What areas can be treated?

Laser hair removal can be performed on various areas, including the face, legs, bikini line, back, and more.

Temporary redness or swelling is common, but it usually subsides within a few hours. We recommend using sunscreen for four weeks after treatment to protect the skin.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning for two weeks before your appointment. Shave the area 24 hours before, but don’t wax or pluck the hair.

Small areas like the upper lip may take minutes, while larger areas like the legs can take up to an hour.

Though the upfront cost is higher, long-term savings can be significant as you’ll no longer need frequent temporary hair removal methods.
