Get a Smooth Skin: The Laser Hair Removal Process

Client receiving professional laser hair removal in East London clinic

Laser hair removal treatment targets the pigment or melanin in hair follicles. Light energy is absorbed by the melanin and heats the follicle, disabling it without harming the surrounding skin. Because it only affects actively growing hair, hence the multiple treatments to obtain the optimal results.


The sensation during treatment is often described as “a flick of an elastic band.” Most clients find the discomfort moderate and tolerable, with no anaesthesia required. After a session, damaged hairs remain in the follicles and shed naturally over 1–3 weeks as the skin renews itself.

Most clients need around 6 sessions for effective hair reduction. Treatments are scheduled every 4–8 weeks depending on the area being treated. Each session targets only hair in the active growth phase, which ensures permanent reduction over time.


Appropriate for all Hair and Skin Types


Laser hair removal is best on light skin with dark hair. This tone hair has the most melanin, so it’s the simplest to deal with. Fair hair is less pigmented and isn’t always as simple to address, but grey/white hair just can’t be addressed because it has no melanin.


A consultation with an expert clinician at Laser Light Skin Clinic will validate if you are a candidate and discuss expectations.Most people are fair game and the clinic offers a professional assessment as to what the best course of treatment is for each client.


Post-Laser Care: How Your Skin Responds


The skin can look red and hair follicles slightly swollen just after the treatment is done. This usually subsides within a few hours. Some rare reactions may include small blisters or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.


During the 1–3 weeks following treatment, hairs will shed naturally. You may notice hairs “growing” as the new skin pushes out the dead follicles. This is a normal part of the process and indicates the treatment is working.


Advanced Technology at Laser Light Skin Clinic


Laser Light Skin Clinic uses the THUNDER MT system with Mixed Technology, combining Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers. This approach allows safe and effective treatment for all skin types.


The clinic’s machine fires with two wavelengths, 755nm and 1064nm, individually or in combination, providing versatility for face and body. This approach enables clinicians to cover large surface areas expeditiously while maintaining pain to a minimum.


The clinic is Lynton approved and the only East London clinic offering the Motus AY Pain-Free system. All therapists are Level 4 qualified, providing a relaxed and professional service.


How the Consultation Works


Before starting treatment, clients complete a consultation where medical history is checked. Questions can be asked about the procedure, and written consent is required. A small test patch is performed to ensure suitability and safety.
