Question 1

Which is better for me: laser hair removal or electrolysis?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your hair colour, thickness, the area you want treated and how much hair you have. Laser is generally more practical for reducing larger areas of darker, pigmented hair. Electrolysis treats individual follicles and can be used on any hair colour, including white, grey and very fair hairs.Some clients benefit from a combination of both treatments. We can recommend the most suitable approach during your consultation.

Question 2

Why do I need more than one hair removal treatment?

Accepted Answer

Hair grows in cycles, and individual hairs are not all at the same stage of growth at the same time. This means a single appointment cannot effectively treat every follicle in an area.Both laser and electrolysis require a course of appointments to treat hairs as they become available for treatment. The number of sessions varies depending on the area, hair growth and individual response.

Question 3

Will my hair be permanently removed?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, but it cannot guarantee that every hair will be permanently removed. Electrolysis can permanently remove individual hairs once their follicles have been successfully treated.Hormonal changes may also cause other follicles in the same area to produce more noticeable hair over time. Some clients therefore choose occasional maintenance treatments.

Question 4

Can laser hair removal cause more hair to grow?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally, laser treatment can be associated with increased hair growth in or around the treated area. This is known as paradoxical hypertrichosis and has been reported particularly on the face and neck.We assess your hair colour, thickness and growth pattern before recommending treatment. For areas with only a few unwanted hairs or mainly fine, downy hair, electrolysis may be more appropriate.

Question 5

Can I have laser hair removal and electrolysis together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Laser can be used to reduce larger areas of pigmented hair, while electrolysis can target individual hairs that remain, including white, grey or very fair hairs that laser cannot effectively treat.Your therapist can advise on a personalised treatment plan and suitable intervals between appointments.

Question 6

Do I need a consultation before booking?

Accepted Answer

A consultation helps us assess your skin, hair or tattoo, discuss your treatment goals and explain what results you can realistically expect. A patch test may also be required, depending on the treatment.For laser hair removal, our consultation and patch test costs £10, which is refunded against your first treatment when booked within one month.
