Laser Hair Removal at GHB Clinic London ?

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, and for many people, it can be considered permanent. However, some individuals may require occasional touch-up sessions due to factors like hair regrowth or hormonal changes. With multiple sessions, laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, leaving the skin smoother and hair-free for extended periods.

Most people experience only mild discomfort during laser hair removal, often described as a rubber band snap or a brief tingling sensation. The level of pain varies based on individual pain tolerance and the area being treated. Modern laser technology, such as cooling devices, helps minimise discomfort and make the procedure more comfortable.

The results of laser hair removal can last for years, though some clients may need touch-up sessions after 1 to 2 years. Multiple sessions are required for optimal results, as hair grows in different cycles, and the treatment targets hair during its active growth phase. With proper maintenance, laser hair removal can keep your skin smooth for a long time.

Laser hair removal is generally safe when performed by a trained and experienced practitioner using FDA-approved equipment. Minor side effects, such as redness or swelling, are temporary. At our clinic, we prioritise safety by using advanced technology and ensuring a tailored approach to your skin type.

No, laser hair removal does not cause cancer. The lasers used in hair removal treatments target the pigment in the hair, not the deeper tissues. Laser hair removal has been extensively researched and is considered safe by dermatologists and health authorities. Our practitioners ensure the use of safe, FDA-approved technology.

Most clients require 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on factors like hair colour, skin type, and the area being treated. Our specialists will create a customised treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.

It is generally recommended to avoid laser hair removal during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and the potential for increased skin sensitivity. While there are no known risks, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider and discuss alternative hair removal options during pregnancy.

For bikini hair removal, most clients need between 6 and 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for optimal results. Each session targets hair during its active growth phase to ensure maximum effectiveness. Our practitioners will assess your skin and hair type to determine the exact number of sessions required.

Yes, it is recommended to shave the treatment area before your laser hair removal session. Shaving allows the laser to target the hair follicle more effectively, without interference from hair above the skin. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these methods remove the hair follicle, which the laser needs to target.

The Nd Yag Laser is generally considered the best option for toned or darker skin, as it has a longer wavelength that safely penetrates deeper into the skin without affecting melanin in the skin’s surface. At our clinic, we use this advanced technology to ensure safe and effective treatments for all skin types.

Laser hair removal works best on dark hair because the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. Blonde hair has less pigment, which can make it more challenging for the laser to effectively target. However, newer laser technologies, like the Nd laser, may offer some results for lighter hair. A consultation with our practitioner will help determine the best approach for your hair type.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in hair follicles with concentrated light. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. This treatment is safe, effective, and precise, offering long-lasting results for smooth, hair-free skin.

Common side effects of laser hair removal are mild redness, swelling, or tingling in the treated area. These typically resolve within a few hours to a day. Our practitioners use advanced cooling techniques to minimise discomfort and reduce side effects.
