Laser hair removal in Hertfordshire, with Michelle

Laser targets hair at the root, so most clients see less regrowth over a course of treatments than they would with shaving or waxing, which only ever remove hair at the surface. It also means less time spent on hair removal at home, and no need to grow hair out between appointments as you would for waxing.

For most clients, a course of laser can mean a long-term reduction in hair growth, smoother-feeling skin, and less time spent shaving, waxing or plucking. It can also help reduce ingrown hairs and razor rash for some clients. Results vary from person to person, and Michelle will talk through what you can realistically expect at your free consultation.

Laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction rather than permanent removal. A course of treatments can significantly reduce regrowth over time, with occasional maintenance sessions to keep results looking their best. Results vary between clients, and nothing can be guaranteed.

Shave the treatment area 12 to 24 hours before your appointment, and exfoliate it 3 days before. Avoid excessive sun exposure on the area for 14 days beforehand, and do not apply moisturiser, perfume or other products to the area on the day. Please avoid waxing or hair removal creams for 4 weeks before your first session.

This depends on your hair type, the treatment area and your skin, and Michelle will talk it through with you at your consultation. Most clients follow a course of 6 sessions at 2 to 4 week intervals, followed by occasional maintenance sessions to keep results looking their best.

Most clients describe a slight tingling sensation rather than pain, and it is generally more comfortable than waxing. More sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, can feel a little more noticeable.

Yes, tattoos are not a barrier to laser hair removal. The laser is never used directly over tattooed skin, so Michelle treats carefully up to the edge of the tattoo and leaves the inked area itself untouched. Let Michelle know about any tattoos at your consultation so she can plan your treatment around them.

A patch test helps check how your skin responds to the laser before treatment begins. Michelle will explain exactly when this happens as part of your free consultation.

Protect the treated area from the sun and keep heat and perfumed products away from it for a day or two. Michelle will give you personalised aftercare advice for your skin at every appointment.

Laser works on many combinations of skin tone and hair colour, but not every one. Michelle will assess your hair and skin at your free consultation and give you an honest view of the results you can expect.
