Hair Removal
Long-term reduction of unwanted hair, with every setting chosen for your skin.
Treatment approach 07 of 08
What this approach is about
Hair Removal is about reduction: fewer, finer hairs over a planned course, with settings chosen for your skin - and, where hair growth has a hormonal cause, attention to that too.
What this approach addresses
- Unwanted facial hair
- Underarms, arms and legs
- Body areas including the back and chest
- Ingrowing hairs and folliculitis
- Hair growth with a hormonal cause
Laser hair reduction is a course of treatment rather than a single appointment, and the settings matter more than the platform. We select the wavelength and parameters for your skin type and hair, and where unwanted hair growth suggests a hormonal cause, we look into that too.
What we assess
- Skin type and hair colour
- The areas you would like treated
- Hormonal factors behind unwanted hair growth
- Previous hair removal and any reactions
- Timing around the hair growth cycle
Possible treatment options
Laser hair reduction is delivered as a course, with the wavelength and settings chosen for your skin and hair. Where hormonal factors are suspected, medical assessment runs alongside.
What a plan may include
- Laser Hair ReductionLong-term reduction of unwanted hair, with settings selected for skin type.
- Medical TreatmentPrescription treatment and, where needed, investigations, directed by the dermatologist.
Technology that may be used within the plan
Selected by your doctor after assessment, and only where it is clinically appropriate.

What should you realistically expect?
Laser reduces hair rather than removing it permanently. Hair becomes finer and sparser over the course, because only hair in its active growth phase responds at each session.
- 05
Downtime and recovery
None in most cases. Redness and slight swelling around the follicles settles within hours.
- 06
When are combinations useful?
Combinations are rarely needed, except where a hormonal cause of unwanted hair is treated medically alongside the laser course.

Results and maintenance
Occasional maintenance sessions are usual, particularly where hormonal factors are involved.
