GLAMAZINGExplore hair reduction for the areas that matter to you, with settings and timing matched to your skin and hair.
Laser hair removal directs light at hair follicles. A series is usually needed because hairs grow in different cycles. The response depends on hair colour, thickness, skin tone, area and device.
A laser hair removal consultation brings together the area you want to treat, your hair colour and thickness, your skin tone and your recent sun exposure. These details help the practitioner assess suitability and plan treatment. Different areas may need different settings and appointment spacing, so a plan for your legs should not automatically be copied to your face or bikini area.
The aim is a reduction in unwanted hair over a planned course, rather than a promise that every hair will disappear after one visit. Tell us how you currently remove hair and what would make the biggest difference to your routine. We can discuss the proposed course, maintenance, recovery and overall cost before you decide.
You can also explore IPL photofacial and Doublo lifting when comparing your options.
Start with the areas you would like assessed, such as the underarms, legs or bikini line. The size of the area, hair pattern and skin condition affect the plan. Confirm which areas can be treated at your consultation rather than assuming one package covers every concern.
Laser treatment relies on the relationship between the light, the hair pigment and your skin. Mention recent tanning, sensitivity, medications and earlier reactions to laser. A skin and hair assessment helps establish whether the available approach is appropriate for you.
Hairs are at different stages of growth, which is why a series is usually discussed. Your practitioner can explain the timing proposed for your area and how response will be reviewed. Ask what is included in each appointment and when maintenance might be considered.
Bring a list of medicines and tell us about previous hair-removal treatments or skin reactions. Ask about preparation, whether a test area is appropriate, comfort measures and how your course will be reviewed. You can discuss one area first before making a wider plan.

Usually not. Laser targets hairs at particular stages of growth, so repeat sessions are needed as other hairs enter that stage. Hair often becomes finer and less dense over a course. The number and spacing of visits vary by area and hair type, and maintenance may be needed.
Our article on why laser hair removal usually takes more than one visit explains how the growth cycle relates to repeat appointments and what to ask at your assessment.
No. Laser relies on pigment in the hair, so darker hair generally responds better. White, grey, very light blonde and red hair respond poorly because there is little suitable pigment to target. Hair colour, thickness, skin tone and the device all affect suitability.
No. Avoid waxing, plucking and electrolysis before a laser course because they remove the hair root the laser needs to target. Shaving leaves the root in place and is generally the preferred preparation. Confirm the clinic’s shaving timing for your appointment; do not arrive with freshly irritated or cut skin.
Avoid tanning before and after treatment, including tanning beds and sunless tanners. A recent tan may mean your appointment needs to be postponed until it fades. Protect the treated area from sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Tell us about a sunny holiday before booking so your appointments can be spaced around it.
Membership is optional. Visit our membership introduction to compare plans, then ask the team about the price of your proposed treatment.
