Most people think about laser hair removal in May, when the sandals come out. By then it's too late to finish a course before summer. Laser works best on untanned skin, and a course of six sessions takes months, not weeks.
Laser works with your hair's growth cycle
Hair grows in phases, and laser only affects follicles in their active growth phase. At any moment, only some of your hairs are in that phase. That's why we treat in a course of six, spaced four to eight weeks apart depending on the area: each session catches a new set of follicles.
Do the maths and a full course takes several months. Start this winter and you'll be well into your course by the time summer comes round.
Your skin is at its palest
Laser needs untanned skin. A tan, real or fake, makes treatment less effective and raises the risk of irritation. Autumn and winter are when most of us are furthest from our last holiday, which makes them the ideal treatment months.
Less sun to avoid between sessions
During a course you need to protect treated skin from the sun and wear SPF 30 or higher. That's much easier in November than in July.
How to start
- Book a free consultation and patch test. It takes thirty minutes.
- We choose the right settings for your skin tone and hair type.
- Your first session can follow once the patch test has settled, usually within a few days.
A course of six is half the price of six single sessions. Underarms is £300 for the whole course, which is £50 a session, and Klarna payments are available.
