Exactly how much does laser hair removal cost for men and women? We all know hair growth is one of the most frustrating aspects of adult life.

Exactly how much does laser hair removal cost for men and women?

We all know hair growth is one of the most frustrating aspects of adult life. It’s a constant chore to shave or wax, and we often find ourselves stressing out about how we look and cursing hair for growing back so quickly. It’s for this reason, laser hair removal has become so popular in the last ten years and more and more people are turning to this new technology as a way to manage hair growth and see some long term results.

Once you’ve decided to go through with the treatment the question quickly becomes,

‘where should I go?’

and

‘who offers the best value?’.

Here at Premier Laser we pride ourselves on our ability to not only provide the best service, with the best results but also offer it to you at a generous and affordable price. With our price match guarantee you won’t find a lower priced laser hair removal clinic in London using the same technology

We also offer fantastic finance from only £280 with a 10% deposit.

Below we are going to run through a few procedures, and why choosing the team here, over the competition is the right choice. For the purpose of the price comparison, all these prices are for single sessions.

(Read our blog on why cheap laser hair removal could end up with you paying more)

Premier Laser and Northwood

Both London Premier Laser and Northwood offer laser hair removal however Premier Laser offers far more affordable costs than its competitor. There are five services that have been compared here:

‘Abdomen & Chest’, ‘Back & Shoulders’, ‘Back, Shoulders, Full Arms’, ‘Back, Shoulders & Upper Arms’ and ‘Full Back, Chest, Abdomen, Shoulders & Half Arms’.

Single Session	Premier Laser	Northwood
Abdomen & Chest	£165	£220.00
Back & Shoulders	£244	£420.00
Back, Shoulders & Upper Arms	£278	£330.00
Back, Shoulders, Full Arms	£329	£530.00
Full Back, Chest, Abdomen, Shoulders & Half Arm	£450	£700.00

Northwood doesn’t offer combined packages for a number of these treatments, unlike Premier Laser and as a result, the price of the hair removal is often higher.

This is particularly noticeable for the comprehensive ‘Full Back, Chest, Abdomen, Shoulders & Half Arms’ which is a full £250 cheaper at London Premier Laser. Furthermore, more straight forward sessions such as Abdomen & Chest is over 30% more expensive at Northwood.

Premier Laser and sk:n

Another competitor in the field of laser hair removal in London is sk:n, who has a number of clinics and like Premier Lasier provide an excellent service and yet, just like Northwood also falls short of our excellent value.

Single Session	Premier Laser	sk:n
Abdomen & Chest	£165	£170
Back & Shoulders	£244	£320
Back, Shoulders & Upper Arms	£278	£515

As you can see Premier Laser comes out on top across the examples here, with a slightly cheaper cost for Abdomen & Chest, and a much cheaper cost for Back, Shoulders & Upper Arms.

Again, Premier Laser offer this as an easy package with great value and is 50% less expensive than sk:n for tremendous quality.

Premier Laser and Pulselight

For women’s hair removal, you can also look at Pulse Light who offer a similar service to London Premier Laser, however, in terms of quality and price, Premier Laser once again come out on top.

Single Session	Premier Laser	Pulselight
Abdomen & Chest	£165	£190
Back, Shoulders, Full Arms	£329	£570
Full Body Top to Toe inc. Face	£625	£730

The biggest comparison here is that Pulselight also offers a full body service just like Premier Laser. This treatment is always likely to be the most expensive and this is reflected in the price, but unsurprising the value for money is still found at Premier Laser who charge £95 less than their rival.

Review

The price comparison is fairly comprehensive and the facts don’t lie; London Premier Laser is more affordable than any of its rivals as well as having a greater degree of expertise and top of the range technology.

If you are interested in seeing a specialist or booking any of the many services for women and men that are offered, then look no further than Premier Laser for care and cost.

Laser Hair Removal for Brides

With the big day approaching most brides have a huge amount to worry about, from the weather to the food and everything in between. However, how the dress looks, and in particular, how you feel in it is also a key concern in the year leading up to the wedding. One of the elements that … Continue reading “Laser Hair Removal for Brides”

One of the elements that women fret about is body hair, and whether to shave, wax or in some cases undertake laser hair removal treatment prior to the wedding. In this post, we will provide you with a few pointers about the process ahead of your wedding day.

The Basics

First things first, how does laser hair removal work? Simply, you will have a number of sessions with an expertly trained practitioner who uses technology to emit wavelengths (beams of light) to target the hair follicles and prevent hair from growing.

The energy kills the hair follicles on your skin, and from here the hair begins to fall out (this can occur over a few days). Unlike waxing or shaving, the process is built for long term results and consequently, it has become incredibly popular for soon to be brides who don’t want to be waxing or shaving on their honeymoon immediately after the wedding!

The Process

If you are looking to have laser hair removal treatment prior to your wedding you will need between 10 – 12 months to get the process completed. The entire run consists of typically eight treatments which require six weeks between each one and whilst this may seem like a big commitment, the sessions themselves are fairly short and therefore won’t be time-consuming.

Furthermore, it is a small price to pay for having one less thing to worry about on your wedding day and honeymoon.

Moreover, you will want to have the sessions completed a few weeks before your wedding to avoid any complications such as itching or discomfort due to the fact hair is still falling out a few days after the treatment. Please be aware there can be a little pain associated with the treatment, however for any woman who has waxed you need not worry too much as comparatively, it is much easier.

It is also worth knowing what areas to focus on when getting the treatment. Thankfully the lasers used are so advanced that no area is off limits, so you can’t go wrong by focusing on the underarms, lower legs and bikini lines. However, it is worth noting, that the treatment is not suitable if you are either pregnant or have any tattoos (in the treatment area).

There are certain steps you will need to take prior to the appointment however and to ensure you get the best results and these include:

Avoid getting a sun tan before the treatment by using a high factor sunscreen
Don’t remove hair in other ways such as shaving, waxing or electrolysis during your treatment
If you are on blood thinning medication you’ll need to consult with your doctor and they can advise you on whether to suspend usage before the procedure

As ever, we’re always very happy to answer any questions about laser hair removal and you can always pop into any of our clinics for a free, no-obligation patch test and consultation to make sure you’re suitable for laser hair removal.

The Difference Between IPL and Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal and intense pulse light or IPL has been the ‘go to’ method for long term hair removal for many years. With advanced technology, it is much easier to achieve long-lasting results with laser and IPL than any other treatments. According to the new studies the average woman spends around £23,000 during their … Continue reading “The Difference Between IPL and Laser Hair Removal”

Laser hair removal and intense pulse light or IPL has been the ‘go to’ method for long term hair removal for many years. With advanced technology, it is much easier to achieve long-lasting results with laser and IPL than any other treatments. According to the new studies the average woman spends around £23,000 during their lifetime for hair removal. While unwanted excess hair is such a problem, many of us are looking for long term.

When it comes to choosing the right treatment the most common questions are:

Should I choose IPL or Laser?
What is he difference between IPL and laser?
What gives the best results and best value for money?
Which one is faster?
What is safer for my skin type?

Is IPL and laser hair removal the same?

Many people confuse laser hair removal and IPL. IPL is not a laser. They both use light but that is where the similarities end. Not many people know there is any difference between IPL and laser hair removal technologies. Often thought of as similar. However, the difference between laser hair removal and IPL are many. If you are trying to make a decision between or IPL treatments, we’ve prepared you a comparison guide for you to help you make your decision.

Understanding Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis (SPTL). The crucial element in laser hair removal is matching specific wavelengths of light and pulse duration to the hair target. The hair target is the melanin found in the hair follicle. Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment in our skin and hair is associated with determining colour. Importantly for safety and comfort, the laser energy is focused and absorbed only into the follicle, thus avoiding the surrounding skin tissue area.

The process works by destroying the hair root. This prevents blood flow to the follicle, disabling the hair growth long-term.

Understanding IPL hair removal

IPL technology, also known as intense pulsed light technology is actually not a laser treatment. Compared to laser hair removal, it uses a broad spectrum of light with multiple wavelengths. This means it has more unfocused energy around the hair and skin area. The light is like the flash from a camera which spreads over a large area against a focused beam of light from a laser.

That’s why at Premier Laser in London we do not use IPL technology for hair removal treatments, as it is not as efficient or effective.

What’s the difference between Laser Hair Removal and IPL?

Both laser and IPL use light to destroy the hair follicle and prevent further growth. However, the kind of light and the technology used to deliver the light is quite different. Hence the treatments, process, and results are not the same. Let’s see the laser and IPL comparison under most asked segments.

IPL wavelength does not penetrate as deeply as laser

The technology

As mentioned the main difference between laser and IPL is the type of light.

Laser machines provide a very specific type of light wavelength which is targeted and concentrated. The wavelength of light going to one direction creates a strong and highly effective light.
IPL machines provide a broad range of wavelengths to create a single flash of light, like a flash on a camera which covers a larger area. This decreases the power of the treatment and causes less effective results.

Winner:

IPL: Not as powerful

LASER : More powerful and effective

Area of target

When the light enters the skin, it is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. The absorption of the light heats the hair follicle and interrupts the hair growth cycle. Concentrated light in laser finds the target and shoots the hair follicle. With the effective direct light, only the hair follicle gets struck by the laser. On the other hand, while IPL shoots with a broader and scattered light, the critical temperature for the hair follicle cannot be reached as easily. The majority of the energy is absorbed by the smaller more superficial targets.

Winner:

IPL: Unfocused wide area targeted

LASER : Pinpoint focus on hair follicle

Safety on skin

IPL using scattered light also causes the surrounding tissue to absorb the light. While the light is not as focused as a laser, in order to heat deeper targets, IPL requires to use higher energy levels. This energy is also absorbed by the surrounding tissue. And it can lead to skin damage such as burning, hyperpigmentation, blistering and scarring.With laser as only one targeted wavelength is used, deeper penetration occurs. The energy directly targets the hair follicle and it is not absorbed by other chromophores in the path of the beam, so the surrounding skin is unaffected.

Winner:

IPL: Hair and surrounding skin damaged

LASER : Only hair damaged

Number of sessions needed

Hair grows in different cycles. And laser and IPL can only treat the hair follicles at a certain stage called the anagen phase.

As the laser cannot determine which hair is at which stage in the growing cycle, the laser can only destroy the 10% of the current hair follicles. Hence, it is advised to have 6-8 sessions of laser hair removal for the best results.

IPL works with weaker and scattered light. It doesn’t provide a precise target shooting as the laser.

Hence, less hair follicle can be destructed at each session, leaving you with need in more sessions.

Winner:

IPL: More sessions

LASER: Fewer sessions

Treatment time

As the light beam used in laser treatment is highly concentrated and targeted; one shot with a laser at the area is enough for the results. The IPL devices feature a larger pad for the treatment and it might seem like the session can be completed quicker as the machine’s head is bigger. But because the light is weaker, the practitioner often needs to treat the same area more than once. Which leads your session to take longer than laser.

Winner:

IPL: Quicker sessions – longer to notice results

LASER : Longer sessions – quicker to notice results

Cost

Laser requires more advanced technology and the machines are more expensive costing up to £100,000 at 2020 prices. However as we’ve mentioned, IPL usually requires more sessions for good results and you are more likely to end up spending more for IPL in the long run.

Winner:

IPL: Cheaper

LASER : More expensive

Safety

As laser uses a stronger beam of light, you might think the IPL is safer. However laser only targets the hair follicles and unlike IPL, it doesn’t affect the surrounding skin tissue. IPL is not as strong as laser so will need more sessions. This puts your skin under more stress and it will spend more time healing. One shot over the area might seem to make it safer than laser but as mentioned in order to get the same results you need to treat the same area more than once causing your skin to be exposed more light than laser. At Premier Laser & Skin we use FDA approved Candela lasers which are also being used in Hospitals. So you are definitely in safe hands.

Winner:

IPL: Skin more exposed

LASER : Skin less exposed

Pain level

On the technical level, the more concentrated the light, the stronger you can feel it. Hence IPL machines may seem to cause less pain. However modern laser machines are designed to be as comfortable as possible for the client. They are built-in with a cooling system where it blows constant cool air to the skin where the laser is being processed. So it significantly decreases the pain level. Most clinicians also use wet wipes to clean the area. When your skin is damper, the cooling air works much stronger.

Many of our clients report they don’t feel any pain during their laser treatment. If you have low pain tolerance, you can also always ask your clinician to use numbing cream.

Winner:

IPL: Less painful

LASER : more painful

Suitability for skin and hair types

Both laser and IPL machines are highly sensitive to skin colour and melanin. Which means that it is hard to treat dark skin. However our FDA approved medical-grade lasers are suitable for all skin types on the Fitzpatrick skin scale. And can be used on brown and dark skin as well.

Winner

IPL: Damage to surrounding skin and pigment on darker skin means avoid IPL

LASER : Nd-Yag lasers are specifically designed to work on darker skin type

IPL vs Laser hair – a clients personal experience of both

If you are thinking about IPL or laser hair removal Premier Laser Client Tihan shared her experience with us when she visited the Soho clinic for laser hair removal. She visited our clinic after experiencing unsatisfying results with IPL elsewhere.

“I came to this Clinic after my disappointing experience with IPL. I had over 10 sessions of IPL and I still have a lot of hair and have to shave. I also have patches and there were no real improvements in my last few sessions so i decided to look into laser hair removal.

From the start, my experience with the Clinic has been great

Alex provided me with all information as well as answered all of the questions I had. Transparency was crucial for me to decide whether to take a treatment with them or not, because of the lack of transparency that I had in another place where I started (but haven’t finished) my IPL package.

I am still doing laser at the Clinic, and I expected some results after one-two sessions, but that is an understatement.

The results are incredible.

I do not know where that is because of my skin type, but I am so happy with the results already, and cannot wait for the final result. So happy with my choice!”

Manzilian, The Top 5 Benefits of Bikini Hair Removal for Men

The Manzilian, aka ‘boyzilian’, ‘guyzilian’ ‘mens bikini’ or ‘manscaping’, whatever you call it is rising in popularity. Trends suggest laser hair removal in 2019 is no longer a female dominated treatment. In contrast male hair removal is on the up, so step aside ladies laser hair removal for men is here to stay. increasing popularity … Continue reading “Manzilian, The Top 5 Benefits of Bikini Hair Removal for Men”

increasing popularity

We are seeing more men in our clinics every week as they discover the secret of laser hair removal. Something women have known for years. It’s not only backs and chest that are being lasered but sacks and cracks too with the brazilian or manzilian reaching new levels of popularity.

What is a Manzilian?

First things first, just what is a manzilian? The phrase is a combination of ‘man’ and ‘brazilian’. The brazilian refers to a style of hair removal that leaves a small strip of pubic hair above the female genital or bikini area. Thus, manzilian was termed to describe the similar style but with reference to male anatomy.

‘Bikini’ Laser Hair Removal For Men

Historically laser hair removal has long been a beauty treatment linked with women. However in recent years more men booking appointments to get their own ‘Manzilian’ is rivalling traditional conceptions of the male grooming industry.

First noticed in 2018 (see our male laser hair previous article here about facial hair laser) the trend hasn’t stopped.

Permanent intimate Laser hair removal

Similar to Brazilian laser hair removal for women, the Manzilian effectively and permanently removes hair around the pubic region. The reasoning varies from :

aesthetic
hygiene
prevent side-effects from other hair removal techniques such as ingrown hairs.

Hair removal procedures using a laser has a long-lasting effect in comparison to other methods including shaving, waxing or trimming. It’s quickly becoming the best option if you want effective results, long-term.

Here are our top 5 benefits of laser hair removal for men.

Top 5 Benefits of a Manzilian

1. It removes ingrown hairs and prevents razor burn

Say goodbye to unsightly, red ingrown hairs or embarrassing ‘razor rash itch’. Just 6-8 sessions of laser provides long-term, hair free results. At most people tend to have an annual 30 minute top-up session to keep those hairs away.

2. It saves time and money

Its thought traditional methods can cost us over £70,000 in a lifetime. That is 8-10 full weeks of hair removal labour. Long-term laser hair reduction takes 6-8, 30 minute sessions and results will render over 90% hair reduction. A single session costs £50, with packages from just £400 here at London Premier Laser.

3. It is 24/7 hair-free confidence

Planning hair removal prep for holidays is easy to plan, but for those unpredictable life moments, the impromptu skinny dip, strip-poker game or the night you end up without intending to go out-out, whatever life throws your way you have 24/7 hair-free confidence.

4. Its less painful than alternative methods such as waxing

We all agree waxing can be painful. The hot wax ripped at speed away from our sensitive skin areas, ouch! While laser hair may be uncomfortable (people describe this as having an elastic band pinged against the skin) it certainly is over quicker, in most areas people describe the hair removal process with lasers as pain-free.

5. Its kinder to your skin

The benefits also include being kind to the skin. The laser works by targeting the melanin, or pigment in the hair follicle. In this manner, the light energy pulses safely destroy the hair follicle at the root, without damaging the surrounding tissue or skin.

Manzilian prices

Our prices at Premier Laser for mens manzilian is listed below

Brazilian / Manzilian

£100 – PAYG

£60 – 6 x (per session)

£50 – 8 x (per session)

26.66 – Finance

Is it painful?

It is much less painful then waxing or epilation. The sensation has been described as having a rubber band flicked against your skin

So what questions should you ask at your laser hair removal consultation?. We’ve listed the most common ones for you. Write them down on a piece of paper or your phone so you remember to ask your practitioner during your consultation, if you need a more in-depth answer.

Must ask questions

If you’ve already managed to learn a little bit about the treatment and have taken our guidance in finding a great laser hair removal clinic in London, the next step is likely to be the consultation.

Booking a consultation in advance of the treatment is usually a required and typically free.

Why do i need a consultation for hair removal ?

The consultation allows the clinic to best assess your needs and make sure that you are suitable to have laser hair removal treatments. For you, it’s a chance to see the clinic, meet the therapists and ask any other questions before making any final decision.

So, in light of this, this week’s blog article focuses on some ‘must-ask’ questions that you can put towards your practitioner when you get to the consultation. To be prepared for your consultation here is a list of questions you may want to ask.

Can I have Laser Hair Removal treatment?

Perhaps the most obvious and critical question is whether your skin and or hair type is suitable. With advanced technology most people can have laser hair removal however there are some instances where laser hair removal treatment is not recommended.

For example, white hair with no melanin cannot be targeted by any laser and therefore is not suitable to be removed via the laser hair removal process.

Within the consultation process a free patch test is offered where we expose a small area of your skin to laser light. This also helps to calibrate the machine so that we can achieve the very best results bespoke to your skin and hair.

It may be that you need laser hair removal for darker skin, again at Premier Laser we have invested in state-of-the-art technology so we can accommodate a variety of skin and hair colour and types.

How much does Laser Hair Removal cost?

Laser hair removal can cost from £44 to £3000 depending on which provider you choose,(Harley Street is the most expensive) the area of treatment and how many sessions you’re planning to undertake.

For example, if you have laser hair removal for your earlobes, nose or eyebrows it can cost as little as £44 for a session. If you want a full body (top to toe) package, then it can cost £2140 with our current special offers. Be sure to take a look at our laser hair removal pricing page for all of our latest costs.

What Laser Hair Removal technology / machines do you use?

Finding out what technology clinics use will give you a good indication about the quality of the clinic. If a clinic has a wide variety of lasers and regularly keep them up to date, it shows that they care about delivering the very best customer care, comfort and results.

If the clinic is using a machine that is relatively old and unfavourably reviewed online, it may be a warning sign to look elsewhere. London Premier Laser regularly invests in the very best technology to ensure client comfort and results. You can take a look at our advanced laser hair removal technology online.

What are the side effects of Laser Hair Removal?

As mentioned before, we always undertake a patch test to check for any potential side effects or reactions to the laser. No clinic will claim that laser hair removal is totally pain free and without side effects.

Some customers do experience slightly reddened skin after treatment, but this usually subsides very quickly within a few hours. The pain of treatment has been likened to a rubber band ‘ping’ and is deemed much more painless than alternative hair removal options such as waxing.

How many Laser Hair Removal treatments am I likely to need?

Some customers may require multiple treatments before they see full results, some may require fewer. It all depends on your skin, hair, technology and area of the body. That’s why it’s important to always get an estimate after your patch test so that you can at least have a realistic expectation of the results.

Typically the average person will require around 6-8 sessions for the full effects however hair reduction is noted even after the first session. Laser hair removal process uses multiple sessions as it’s important to catch all the hairs at the correct stage of the hair growth cycle.

How to get rid of your hairy bum

For thousands of years evolution made us less hairy creatures. Today laser technology has won the battle to keep us hair-free and smooth all over. Laser is the easiest way to get rid of your bum hair if you are male or female. Some people have body hair everywhere and everywhere means everywhere with highly visible, thick hairs sprouting from every pore! Others are lucky to have only fine hairs covering their body.

Another day at the office for laser clinics

At Premier Laser our London clinics are used to beautifying bums and in-between butt cracks and buttocks!. It is just another day at the office for us and laser clinics worldwide. The correct term used in clinics for laser hair removal on your bum is the ‘perianal’ area. If you ever wondered where the perianal area was or had heard the phrase but were not quite sure now you know!

Perianal laser hair removal

The perianal area is a popular treatment for men and women. Most women include the perianal area when having a bikini, Hollywood or Brazilian. It makes sense to laser the whole area as it really tidies it up. With more men visiting our clinics opting to have laser hair removal, the perianal area is becoming more popular. It’s the ‘crack’ bit when you hear men having their ‘back, sac and crack’ done. It is an area men are discovering and adding to the laser menu alongside traditional areas of backs, chests and arms. Whether it is for personal hygiene or to please a partner we have seen more guys choosing to get the perianal area lasered.

Cant I just wax or shave my bum hair?

If you have tried waxing or shaving your bum or in between your buttocks you will know it can be quite tricky and risky with people often nicking themselves if using a razor. Not to mention the potential for ingrown hairs which could follow and be painful. Of course we would recommend laser over waxing or shaving for a more effective long term solution!.

How many sessions would I need to remove all hair from my bum?

This depends on your hair type and a number of other factors including skin tone and hormone activity. Normally we would recommend a package of up to eight sessions.

How much does it cost to remove male or female bum hair?

With women’s prices at around £35 per session and men’s laser hair removal prices the same, it is a great value treatment to finally remove hairs in this embarrassing place and have a peachy smooth bottom.

Will the hair on my bum grow back?

Laser hair can reduce the hair regrowth by up to 90% which is almost hair free and will make a huge difference in your appearance and also hygiene.

How to get rid of your bum hair?

The procedure is quite straight forward and quick. It also does not require any great preparation either. If you are considering laser hair removal you would need to shave the area 24 hours before the session. When you turn up for your appointment the practitioner will get you to lay on the treatment table with your knees together pulled into chest or alternatively you can be on all fours on your hands and knees. The practitioner will then skilfully zap away at your hairs with the laser hair on the targeted area.

Treatment lasts for 15-20 minutes.

As it is not a huge area compared with say laser hair removal on the back or legs your appointment will be over in no time. And you would be expected to return in 6 weeks for your next session.

Is laser hair removal on my bum hair painful?

Having laser is not painful although some people are more sensitive to the laser then others. That is why we perform a patch test before starting any treatment during a consultation. Most people describe laser as having an elastic band flicked against them.

Everything you need to know about “skin stripping”

Skin stripping is a common expression used to describe unintentionally harming and damaging your skin by using the wrong beauty or health products. If you use the wrong product (or too much of it!), you could strip away all the natural oils that protect your skin and keep it healthy.

For many years plenty of us have wrongly believed that oily skin is something to be avoided at all costs and can lead to things like acne and blemishes. However, it is these natural oils that actually keep the safe in good condition and protect the all-important skin cells beneath. It is one of the reasons that medical professionals always advise against new parents from using anything other than water to wash their new-borns skin. Removing the natural oils could permanently damage their baby’s skin in the long term. Whilst we all get older and our skin is exposed to more elements, the advice remains the same.

How do I recognise skin stripping?

If you’ve just used a product and feel like that your skin is tight, the chances are that you’ve stripped your face entirely of all those precious oils. Whilst you might mistake the tightness for suppleness, this is likely to be caused by simply drying your skin entirely.

What caused skin stripping?

In most cases, skin stripping is caused by either using wrong products for your skin or over-use of the right products. Items such as face wipes, cleansing products and skincare foam washes not only remove the natural oils found on your skin, but also potentially do some damage to the skin below. Whilst the short-term effect may be exactly what you wanted (dryer, smoother and the appearance of cleaner skin), the long term effects could be a lot worse.

Make-up wet wipes are by far the worst example of skin stripping. Harsher chemicals may be added to help remove all of the make-up content from your face. So, whilst you may be happy with the results of a strong make-up remover, it could also be removing important elements of your skin. However, sleeping in make-up can also be damaging to your skin as it can block the pore that help produce that much needed natural oils.

Another potential cause of skin stripping could be by showering too much! Assistant clinical professor of dermatology at UCLA, Dr. Carolyn Goh, has said that “staying in [the shower] too long washes the oils away from your skin”. So next time you have an acne breakout, you might want to think twice about doing to many face washes!

What are the effects of skin stripping?

Above all else, skin stripping removes your natural oils. These oils form a protective barrier against bacteria and other harmful elements that could not only damage your skin, but harm other body parts.

Removal of these essential oils can also cause dryness and potentially redness of the skin. If your skin isn’t properly hydrated, this can lead to cell degradation and even potentially peeling if the skin area and cells are dying. Dry, flaky and dead skin rarely feature in your beauty regime! However, it’s not just the appearance that can be harmed. Every time you lose those skin cells, you’re also losing valuable protection against the sun. Your skin acts as a natural barrier for the rest of your body and helps reduce the amount of UV rays that are absorbed.

What are the alternatives?

Something like IPL Skin Rejuvenation can be a better option than using the wrong or too much skincare product. IPL uses “Intense Pulsed Light” to target damaged skin areas and helps regenerate collagen, tighten and firm the skin and diffuses redness. It can also be used for dispelling broken veins, reducing fine lines, improving Rosacea and reducing the impact of sun/age spots and birthmarks.

How do we make sure Laser Hair Removal is safe?

For many of our thousands of patients, the biggest worry they have when they first learn about our laser hair removal treatment is the word “laser”. It brings with it connotations of super-hot and killer laser beams that can cut through metal in an instance.

For many, this creates the perception that it’s unsafe, it’s super sore and it’s totally uncontrolled and scary. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, laser hair removal uses an incredibly focused and incredibly controlled laser emission to target only the hair follicles and hair that you want to remove. The sophisticated technology ensures that the surrounding skin isn’t targeted and remains entirely safe and unaffected.

At Premier Laser, we take a number of steps to ensure your safety including:

Consultation

We take a number of precautionary steps to ensure that you’re suitable for laser hair removal treatment (not everybody is) and that we can provide the right recommendation that will yield you the greatest results.

Our free and no-obligation consultations ensure that you have all the information you need and that we can deliver a tailor-made recommendation that meets your expectations and protects your skin.

Patch test

To ensure that the procedure will be successful (and you’re not wasting your money) we provide a free patch test for would-be laser hair removal patients, much similar to a hair colour patch test, we expose a small area of skin to ensure there is no adverse reaction.

After a consultation, we expose a small area of your skin to the laser to ensure that there are no adverse reactions and that it’s safe for us to proceed with the treatment. This also allows us to properly calibrate the laser technology to your skin, so we can ensure the best comfort and results possible.

Advanced technology

Laser hair removal technology has been around for nearly 60 years. In that time, the technology has improved and changed to produce better results with the safest methods. At Premier Laser we’re committed to patient safety by ensuring that we use the very latest and safest technology to get you the very best results.

Not only do we use the very best laser hair removal technology in London, but we use a variety of machines including the Candela Gentlemax Pro for laser hair removal, at a greater expense to our business, to ensure that we can offer the same services to patients with darker skin or fairer hair colour.

Expertise

The Premier Laser team is compromised of experienced aesthetics experts who have received specific training to help them do the very best job possible. We put all of our nurses, technicians and staff through rigours training to ensure they are well equipped on our technology and the very latest and safest methods.

Furthermore, we ensure that they receive regular training as part of a refresher programme to keep them up to date on all the latest developments, technology and practices in the industry.

Regular safety checks

By ensuring that our equipment is always in the best condition, always well maintained and our working environment is as clean and safe as possible, we can help reduce the risk of any complications or poor results.
