All treatments

Laser hair removal

A planned series, scheduled around how hair actually grows.

Laser hair removal

What it is

Laser hair removal is a course of treatments rather than a single appointment, because hair only responds during part of its growth cycle. Melissa will set out the spacing at consultation and be straightforward about what your hair and skin colouring mean for the plan.

The appointment

  1. A consultation covering skin type, hair type and anything that rules the treatment out for now.

  2. A patch test where appropriate.

  3. Eye protection, then treatment of the area.

  4. A schedule for the rest of the series before you leave.

What it is for
  • Underarms
  • Legs
  • Bikini
  • Face and neck
  • Back and chest
How it feels
Most clients describe a warm snap with each pulse and a cooling sensation from the handpiece.
Time in the chair
From around fifteen minutes for a small area to an hour for a large one.
Afterwards
The area can look pink and feel like mild sunburn for a few hours. Avoid sun exposure between sessions, which Melissa will cover in aftercare.

Individual results vary. Every treatment begins with a consultation, and Melissa will tell you if a treatment is not right for you.

Book

Start with a consultation.

Tell Melissa what is bothering you and she will tell you honestly what she would do, including when the answer is nothing at all.
