Laser and light
Laser hair removal
A planned series for the face or body, with realistic expectations set up front.
Overview
Laser hair removal reduces hair growth over a series of treatments timed to the growth cycle.
Results differ with hair colour, thickness and hormonal factors. Reduction rather than permanent removal is the honest way to describe the outcome for most patients.
We plan the full series before the first session so you know the schedule and cost.

Questions
Frequently asked
- Is it permanent?
- Most patients see lasting reduction. Maintenance sessions are sometimes needed.
- Does it work on light hair?
- Light or very fine hair responds less predictably. Your provider will be honest about this at consultation.
- When should I start?
- Autumn and winter suit a series well because sun exposure is lower.
