Thanks to state-of-the-art laser technology laser hair removal can get rid of your hairy back.

Imagine your back, smooth and hair free. No more being mistaken for a werewolf when you are in the gym and no embarrassing back and neck hair sprouting through your shirt collar at work or meetings.

And with all that hair who can see your gains from your hours in the gym when your traps and lats are covered!.

No More Back Waxing, Shaving Or Toxic Creams

You already know through experience waxing and shaving is out the question. So are creams. Ever tried to shave your back?. It is like trying to lick your elbow! Waxing is painful. Creams get messy. And with creams you run the risk of damaging the pigmentation in your skin.

The human body is just not that flexible, or arms long and bendy enough to get rid of back hair yourself. And what about your long suffering partner?.

Your beloved partner, no matter how much they say they love you doesn’t want to shave your furry back, otherwise they could just get a dog if they wanted a loyal, loving hairy partner.

• If you do finally struggle to get a hair free back – you’ll have to repeat the whole process again in a few weeks when the hair grows back. Great!.

How many favours can you ask? How much waxing pain can you take?. And the inconvenience attending waxing appointments. Who has got time for that? Life is too short. There must be a better way?

Yes there is…

Most Popular Mens Laser Treatment ….The Back!

Laser hair removal on mens backs is the most popular laser hair area we perform across our 9  London clinics.

Are Laser Hair Removal Clinics For Men?

Women have known about the magic of laser hair removal for years, but if you think laser hair removal is just for women you could not be more wrong. In our London Laser Clinics 1 in 5 customers is a man.

That’s a whopping 20% , which means hundreds of men every month are enjoying the great results laser hair removal can bring. Isn’t it about time you joined them?.

There is no need to be intimidated, embarrassed, put off or thinking laser clinics are exclusively for women. And having your back lasered is not as embarrassing as having your …..(ahem) buttocks or other parts done!.

(If you do want all your body hair removed we can do that for you – why stop at the back! Contact us for a free consultation and patch test today)

Will Back Laser Hair Removal Work On My Colour Skin?

The technology has improved since the earlier laser machines years ago.

That means no matter what colour you are, lasers can work on your skin type. If you are darker skinned with really thick hair or fair-haired, lasers will give you the hair free results you crave.

At Premier Laser our practitioners have treated men and woman of all ages, from all backgrounds and colours and have the experience of getting results with the thickest and hairiest backs.

Latest Laser Technology Works On All Skin Types

Lasers have two different wavelengths.

1. the Alexandrite ‘red light laser’
2. Nd:YAG wavelengths.

They are designed to remove hair on all skin colours. If you have lighter skin you would use the Alexandrite Laser which use the 755nm wavelength on the infrared spectrum to destroy hair. For tanned to darker skin tones the Nd:YAG wavelength of 1064nm will destroy hair.

Lasers work by being attracted to dark pigment. If you have really dark thick back hair and are worried that laser wouldn’t work, lasers work better and are really effective on dark hairs and you should experience super results.

Does Mens Back Laser Hair Removal Really Work?

Laser hair removal cannot get rid of 100% of hair. Any clinic promising that is misleading you. What you can expect is an 85-90% hair reduction. Any hairs growing back will be much lighter, thinner and more manageable to remove.

For most men this is dramatic and is a real game changer.

How Long Does Mens Laser Hair Removal Last?

If you have stuck to your appointments and have been discussing your results every session with your practitioner, then you can expect to have a permanent 90% reduction in hair.

(Choosing the right practitioner and talking to them about your progress every session is key for best results)

If you get to you last session and you are not happy with your results it may mean you need extra sessions. Those extra sessions should remove the last remaining hairs.

Results are then permanent. You won’t need to buy another 6-8 package every year. What you may need to do is have 1 or 2 top up sessions every year or two years apart.

Compare this with not having any laser and the inconvenience and pain you go through every few days or weeks. Changes are dramatic. Most men are happy with their results (and so are their partners!.)

Is Mens Back Laser Hair Removal Painful?

It is not as painful as waxing, if you have been waxing up until now. Because the back is a large area laser hair removal on the back can be painful.

Pain also depends on the individual and how they tolerate it.

It has been described as having a rubber band flicked against your skin. Seeing as the back is a large area for laser hair removal that is a lot of rubber band flicking which can begin to irritate.

All clinics perform a patch test before any laser treatment so you will get to feel the sensation for yourself. If you turn out to be sensitive then numbing cream can be applied to the area which should lessen the pain.

Do I Need To Prepare For Back Hair Laser Removal?

Yes clinics would you require you to shave your back before you appointments. Most clinics offer this service for you for a small charge. Shaving the area makes the laser treatment more effective.

What If I Don’t Shave Before Back before Laser?

If you don’t shave the laser will waste energy attacking the hair outside the skin instead of the root. If shaved the laser can focus on going straight to the hair root, killing that and stopping it from ever growing back.

Also no reputable laser clinic will perform laser on an unshaved back as it would be a waste of time.

Mens Back Laser Hair Removal Cost

For laser back removal you can expect to have at least 6 sessions, depending on how you respond. The cost will work out around £100 per session if you buy a package, based on London laser hair removal clinic prices in 2020.

So you are looking at a total cost of around £700. If you need more sessions this take the cost to over £1000.

Most clinics will have finance so you can spread the costs if required.

For example, at Premier Laser for 8 back sessions on finance it would cost you £61 per month for 12 months with a 20% deposit and at 0% finance. This is less then cost of buying the latest mobile phone on contract which is a price worth paying for a lifetime of a hair free back!.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Will I Need For My Back?

What is critical if you are thinking about laser hair removal for your back, to get the best results and value for your money is commitment and consistency.

Appointment are spread 6-8 weeks apart and it is really important to stick to them. If you leave long gaps between treatments 3-4 months then you are just wasting your time….and money.

This is because the laser works and syncs with your hair cycle. It takes around 6 weeks for a hair to complete the growth cycle in most people. Laser can only destroy hair in the growth phase call the anagen phase.

At your first session only hairs in the anagen growth phase will be destroyed – hence multiple appointments are needed, spread evenly apart, to kill all the hairs in the growth phase.

That is why you will have to block time off to commit to it. If you travel or are away a lot, then you need to maybe plan to do laser when you have a clear diary.

The good news is after attending your sessions consistently you should be so happy with the results. (And so will your partner, as lets face it, nobody lets a bear in the bedroom )

Is Back Laser Hair Removal Worth It?

If you purchased a package of 6-8 treatments from a laser clinic by the end of your last session you would have spent close to £1000 on removing hair from your back. That is a lot of money. So you would expect results!.

In the short term laser hair removal is expensive and an inconvenience.

Having to travel to a clinic 6 – 8 times throughout the 8 – 12 months the treatment occurs can be a pain.

Not to mention the cost.

It is expensive.

Also you have to stick to the appointments and if you cancel or miss appointments you will not get the best results.­­

But after going through all that and not having to go back to your old lifestyle of endless waxing and shaving, it really is a small price to pay and one of the best investments you will ever make in you personal grooming.

What Are The Negatives About Back Laser Hair Removal?

Most people complain about the cost. Although there are some fantastic deals out there with finance deals bringing down monthly costs. The time it takes and the commitment also are a negative as are finding a reputable clinic.

We can’t help you with the time it takes, but everything else we can help you with.

Will It Make My Back Hair ­Grow Back Thicker?

No, It will not grow back thicker after you back hair has been lasered off. Hair is killed permanently and does not grow back. The hair growth that may occur you will find to be much thinner and manageable. This applies the to 10% of hair that remains.

4 keys to the best back laser hair removal experience and long term success

1. Reputable Clinic
2. Latest technology
3. Experienced Technician
4. Consistency & Commitment

If any one of the 4 above is missing don’t expect good results. Latest tech without an experienced practitioner is a waste of time. Lacking consistency and cancelling appointments will also affect results. Cheap prices by a clinic in a poor location that looks a bit run down, well what do you expect!.

Next Steps if you live in London

Speak to us today about removing your back hair, We are London’s largest independent laser hair specialists established in 2008. A free consultation will only cost your time. Don’t delay getting rid of your back hair any longer. Take the first step today.

After your laser hair removal session you should notice your hair will gradually begin to fall out over the following days. Many people believe that all their hair should fall out on the same day or by the next morning!. This is not the case. Here is what happens.

Immediately after your laser hair session your skin may feel a bit sensitive. A bit like you have sunburn. Cooling Aloe vera gel should be applied by the clinic as aftercare. It is a good idea to have your own handy to cool down your skin and stop any irritation in the days following your laser session.

Lasers can only kill hair in the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle. When you have your laser session only around 15% of your hairs will be in this phase. So 15% of your hair will be destroyed. Only these hairs will fall out 5-14 days after your laser session. They will slowly work there way free from your skin and shed automatically. It is not necessary for you to help them by plucking or rubbing. This can happen for weeks afterwards.

At your next laser session you will then destroy another 15% of your hairs in the anagen phase of the hair growth phase. And 15% in the one after, and so on, until all the hairs are destroyed. This is why multiple sessions are required. They are spread out about 6 weeks apart so they can synchronise with your hair growth cycle as it takes around 6 weeks for a hair to grow.

Should i get bikini laser hair removal or Brazilian?

It is one of the most common questions women (and increasingly men and their manzilian) ask online when deciding they want to have laser hair removal on their pubic region.

For unknown reasons talk of hair removal from this area is a taboo subject or embarassing and awkward. It’s all hush, hush and many women find it difficult to openly ask advice about such questions often leaving the internet to fill in the gaps.

Searches online for ‘laser hair removal on my vagina’ run into thousands every month so we thought we would tackle this subject here.

We have been performing laser hair removal on Londoners everyday since 2008, so we think we know a thing or two about laser!. 

what’s the difference?

You have decided that you want laser hair removal to finally remove the hair from your pubic area but do you want Brazilian or bikini laser hair removal…come to think of it what is the difference?

(We will leave the Hollywood out of it for now!  (read more about Hollywood laser hair removal)

Bikini Laser Hair Removal

Bikini laser hair removal refers to the hair that can be seen whilst you are wearing your bikini, hence the name.

So for this treatment hair that can be found directly outside the underwear and at the top of the thighs and inner thighs is removed.

• extended bikini laser hair removal treatment (G-string laser hair removal)

Women can also ask for an extended bikini laser hair removal treatment which goes a little further in than the standard bikini treatment and removes slightly more hair. This can also be referred to as G-string bikini.

Instead of going up to the bikini line it goes inside the bikini line so as mentioned a little bit more hair is removed.

Bikini and Brazilian hair removal area

Brazilian Laser Hair Removal

A Brazilian simply refers to removing 99% of all the hair – this also includes the back and anal area too, known in the aesthetic industry as the perianal area.

A small amount of hair is left at the front which can be in any given shape however most choose to leave a strip of hair or ‘landing strip’.

How wide and how high you want this to be is personal preference so discuss this with your practitioner when they are marking out the area to be lasered.

So the rest of the area is hair free apart from the small strip, and this is know as a Brazilian.

how long does a Brazilian last?

After you have completed you package, results you should experience up to 90% permanent hair reduction. Hair that does grow back will be a lot thinner and finer. Some people may need an occasional top up session from time to time.

Bikini Laser Hair Removal Preparation

Before you get laser hair removal a little preparation is needed which involves shaving your hair which will help to reduce any pain felt but also increase the effectiveness of the treatment.

It will make your treatment more effective as the laser can focus on destroying the root of the hair and not waste energy destroying long hairs above the epidermis or skin.

Usually a laser clinic will get you to shave the day before your treatment. As mentioned previously it is quite common for women to leave a shape such as a strip when having a Brazilian, if this is the case when shaving leave this area as it is.

• Bikini laser hair removal before your holiday…be careful

If you are getting Bikini laser immediately before you go on holiday make sure you leave some time for your skin to heal. Removing hair by laser transfers a lot of energy into your skin and if you go on holiday to a hot climate then the sun will add more energy (or suntan) into your skin that is trying to heal.

• laser hair removal after your holiday with a suntan

That is also why if you have recently returned from a holiday and want to have laser or if you were in the middle of laser hair removal and you have suntan on the area you want lasered or were having lasered then you will have to wait for the suntan to fade as your skin heals.

A suntan is the skins response to damage. Having high powered lasers remove hair on already damaged and healing skin would be cause further harm to your skin health.

Before your bikini laser appointment

Also your choice of underwear is important depending on what type of hair removal you want.

• First off you want to choose white or very light coloured underwear – since the laser is attracted to dark colours wearing a dark shade of underwear can make the treatment less effective.
• If you have decided to go with bikini laser hair removal then as long as you are wearing bikini shaped underwear i.e. not boxers then it is recommended that you keep them on.
• If you wanted to go with the extended bikini option than a g-string is advised, although it is not compulsory.
• Finally if you want a Brazilian than ideally you are advised to remove your underwear so that no spots are missed, however this is not essential.

If you are worried about removing all your clothing laser clinic practitioners are experienced at putting you at ease and have probably performed thousands of laser hair removal treatments downstairs.

You will be handed a towel by the practitioner who will use the towel to make sure you are covered at all time and only exposing the area that is being lasered while the towel covers the rest.

Does bikini or Brazilian laser hair removal hurt?

With laser hair removal one of the very first questions to be asked is“how painful is it?”

Since everyone has varying pain tolerances this can be quite a tricky question to answer, however the majority of people say

it is a lot less painful than waxing and feels like a rubber band being flicked at the skin.

Before you have any sessions you will experience the laser when you have your consultation and patch test.

A patch test is where the laser is tested on a small patch of your skin to see how well you and your skin respond to it. You will then get to feel for yourself how painful or not laser hair removal is. You can read our laser FAQ here.

If you think it will be too painful numbing cream can be applied to the area 30 minutes before you laser session.

• How long does a Brazilian or bikini it take?

As it is not a large area, like the back, the time required is around 20 minutes, this will include preparation time as well. A Brazilian will take longer as more hair is removed and area covered.

How much does Brazilian, bikini laser hair removal cost ?

At Premier Laser our prices are set out in the table below. Buying a package of laser session works out better value then buying pay as you go sessions.

Most people will need a minimum of 6 sessions for laser to be effective and remove 90% of hair growth permanently.

This is because laser can only destroy hair in the growth phase of the hair cycle. The Anagen phase takes roughly 6 weeks to complete so to destroy all the hairs in the Anagen phase many sessions are needed spread roughly 6-8 weeks apart.

Bikini Line	70	42	35	21

• The perianal is located between the buttocks and around the rectum on men and women.
• The area can be separately lasered covering the rectum and perineum.
• You can combine the perianal and buttocks for one treatment.
• Most clients add the perianal to bikini, Brazilian or Hollywood packages for convenience.

Laser and the Perianal Area

The perianal is a popular area for laser hair removal. It is located around the rectum and usually includes the perineum. (Otherwise referred to as your bum, butt – if you’re American, or anus to give it the correct medical term!.

Whichever term you prefer, it’s the annoying hair down there that you don’t want to be down there!.

So what are you options?. But first, let’s clear up exactly where were talking about, to avoid any confusion.

Where is the Perineum & can I laser there?

The perineum is the small strip of skin between your anus / bum and genitals on both men and women. This area can be effectively treated for laser hair removal.

So you can finally say goodbye to waxing and shaving.

By having laser on the buttocks and perianal you will save yourself the trouble, and difficulty, of removing it yourself in these tricky and hard to reach places.

Also you will not have the ongoing expenses of waxing or shaving or the potential of painful ingrown hairs. The last thing you want is an infected, swollen ingrown hair as they can be extremely painful specially when trying to sit down!

How to get rid of perianal hair

Like most parts of your body where you don’t want hair, the perianal and your buttocks can have its fair share of hair. Growing wildly and out of control, laser hair removal can soon have the area tamed, smooth and hair free.

Choose the perianal on any bikini or Brazilian packages

Most people will have the perineum done while they are having other areas lasered.

If you are already have or are thinking about laser hair removal down below then it makes sense to choose the perianal area and buttocks (if required) as part of your package. Most laser hair removal companies allow you to pick and mix the areas you want treated.

Perianal & Buttock Laser hair removal

For example,  if you are already having bikini or an extended bikini (g-string) laser hair removal or having a Brazilian why not add the perianal area?. It will not add much time to your laser session and it is a good idea to get it all done together if it bothers you.

Also it will tidy the area so you will be hair free round the front and back!

At Premier Laser a full Hollywood which is all the hair in the pubic region would include perianal and buttocks.

How many sessions will I need?

Once you start laser hair removal your previous methods of hair removal will need to stop, otherwise it will interfere with your treatment. Most people will require a course of 6-8 session for best results. Package prices tend to work out better value then pay as you go pricing.

How much for Perianal laser hair removal in London?

At Premier Laser our prices start from £35 – We also price match against any other London clinic using the same technology.

	Pay as you go	Course of 6	Course of 8
Peri Anal or Bikini Line	70	42	35
Brazilian	100	60	50
Hollywood inc PA, Buttocks	138	83	69

How do I prepare for perianal?

We have written a guide on how to prepare for laser hair removal and it gives you a detailed breakdown of what you need to do for best results. There are no extra steps you need to take for perianal laser hair removal then you would for other areas.

Of course you will want to maintain good personal hygiene, washing using warm soapy water prior to your appointment and shave at least 24 hours before your laser is recommended.

We also have a guide for aftercare and FAQ’s. If you still have questions have them ready to ask your practitioner at you consultation.

Worried or embarrassed about having laser here?

You should not be worried or embarrassed at all. Laser hair practitioners are friendly and professional and have seen and done it all. Doing laser hair removal everyday, they have treated hundred if not thousands of people just like you.

If you are worried about having a younger practitioner ask your clinic to provide a senior, more experienced practitioner, to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable.

How long does treatment take?

Laser hair removal on your perianal is quick and straight forward. It is only a small area so can be covered in a few minutes by your practitioner. The buttocks may take lightly longer.

How does the laser work?

Laser hair removal works by sending a focused pulse of light onto the skin. This heats the pigment in the melanin and destroys the hair all the way down to the root and hair follicle. The hair will then fall out up to 7 days later. Laser only destroys hair in the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, this is why more then one session is required.

Will it work on my skin type?

Perianal laser hair removal is a fantastic solution whatever your skin type and tone. Todays lasers use dual wavelengths, like the Candela Gentlemax Pros we use at Premier laser, operate on the Alexandrite 755nm wavelength and the Nd:YAG 1065nm wavelength which can treat skin types 1-6 on the Fitzpatrick scale or light to dark brown

Our top-of-range Candela lasers are FDA approved and are found in medical practices and hospitals worldwide.

Is it painful?

Laser hair removal is generally not considered to be painful, although everyone has a different pain threshold. The sensation has been compared to having a rubber band pinged against your skin. A sensation most can tolerate. Numbing cream can be used if you are more sensitive.

Next Steps if you live in London

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you are looking for laser hair removal services in London how do you know which clinic to choose?. London has seen an influx of clinics recently with new franchises opening up to keep pace with demand.

New clinics include Irelands ‘Therapie Clinics’, Australias ‘Laser Clinics UK’. They have entered the market alongside the established industry giants SK:N and independents like Premier Laser. It is a good time to get laser hair removal services as competition has led to lower prices.

Every clinic will claim to offer the best :

1. Service
2. Prices
3. Technology
4. Results
5. Experience

…or all five.

How do you go beyond the claims and boasts of clinics to find out the truth?, so you can make the best decision and get the best results.

Finding the best laser hair removal service

For most people starting laser hair removal the first step will be to talk to friends and family. Speaking to friends and family, researching online, visiting clinic websites, comparing prices for packages and reading reviews will all help you make the right decision.

• But what should you look out for?
• Should you choose by price alone?
• What other things the price be considered?

We’ve listed the 5 things you need to look out for that will go a long way to help you find the best laser hair removal service in London.

5 things to look out for when looking for the best laser hair removal service

1.Conveniently located

You will want to find a reputable clinic that is close by so you don’t have to travel far for your appointments. This will make it easier to stay committed to your treatments. Cancelling and rescheduling appointments because the clinic is difficult to get to will severely impact your laser hair removal results.

2.Top of the range lasers

To guarantee the best laser hair removal service you will need to choose a clinic with the top of the range lasers. Cheap lasers can be purchased over the internet for a fraction of the cost of the FDA approved lasers used in reputable clinics and should be avoided at all costs.

The brands to look out for are Candela and Cynosure. Ask if your clinic uses these brands. They are the same powerful grade 4 lasers used in hospitals and are the Rolls Royce of the laser hair removal world.

3.Experienced practitioners

Technology alone does not guarantee results. Skilled expert practitioners can make or break your treatment. Many of the newer franchise clinics now operating in the UK are opening new clinics at a rapid rate. In order to find practitioners they often recruit straight from beauty college.

These practitioners will often lack the experience of more experienced practitioners. The can potentially put you and your treatment at risk then if you were to have a more experienced practitioner treating you.

Experienced practitioners will have treated customer with all skin types and tones form light to dark .

They will have the knowledge and expertise to work with you during your treatment and tailor the treatments for maximum effect.

They will also know when to adjust settings to give you the best results at every session. Inexperienced staff will not.

4.customer service

If you have found a clinic with the latest technology, experienced practitioners and conveniently located so you can get to your appointments easily, the final part to consider is the customer service levels and price

Laser hair removal can run in to hundreds, if not thousands of pounds, so you want to feel like a valued customer by a clinic. When attending your consultation for your patch test, which all clinics are required to do, it is a great opportunity to scrutinise the clinic on many levels.

• First impressions

If you are made to wait and are seen 15-20 minutes late it is not a good sign. This will probably happen repeatedly if you decide to go ahead with the clinic for your laser treatment.

As the saying goes – first impressions last.

Being made to wait 15-30 minutes for every appointment is not very professional or respectful of your time.

• Friendly and professional service

Also the friendliness, professionalism and attentiveness of the staff is important. Are they focused on you?, listening to your needs and concerns?. Are you made to feel comfortable or is their focus on selling you packages and extra treatments you don’t need?. Do you feel rushed?.

• Surroundings

The clinic should also be impeccably clean and modern. This should go without saying!. If you notice it is a bit drab and dated, in need of refurbishment and they are using older technology, it may be a sign the clinic is in trouble.

Would you trust paying thousands in advance when you don’t know if it will be operating next month and you lose your money?.

This is where your research will kick in. Knowing how long the clinic has operated for, levels of cleanliness and recent investment in technology can all be reassuring signs.

Finally, if you have found a clinic you believe would do a great job you will want to pay a fair price.

5.Prices v service

Going for the cheapest option will mean the clinic has had to cut corners somewhere. It could be with investment in technology or with small details like saving costs by using baby wipes instead of using high quality medical wipes. Maybe insurance or an up to date epi pen in case of an emergency are missing.

These short cuts may put you at risk or at the very least means you will not receive the highest quality treatment available.

Most people are happy to pay a fair price for good quality treatment and understand that cheap will often mean short cuts being taken.

• Price match & finance 

If you are shopping around some clinics are happy to price match. At Premier Laser we price match against other clinics.

Lots of clinics have one price online, to attract you, but when you attend a consultation the price will be much higher.

Also many clinics offer finance and attractive payment plans which may be important to you so is worth fully exploring you options.

takeaway

We hope this will help you find the best laser hair removal service for you. There are many factors to consider other then just the price.  We hope this will help you find the right service provider for you.

It is important you start your laser hair removal journey knowing you have made the best decision possible and not ending up disappointed and out of pocket after your treatment.

After reading through you will know :

How to look behind the price and special offers see if you are getting a good deal

All about the treatment including costs, time, results, pain

Plus many more hints and tips

With full body laser hair removal costing thousands of pounds, it’s worth taking a few minutes to read through this guide so you can make the right choice and get the best results when you are ready to go ahead.

How Much Is Full Body Laser Hair Removal ?

When laser hair removal first came to the UK in the late 1990’s a full body laser hair removal treatment cost thousands of pounds. Prices of over £5,000 were commonplace. Since then the price has dropped and technology has improved which make it a great time to start laser treatment.

In 2020 the average cost of full body laser hair removal ranges from £2,000 to £3,000 pounds (see table below). Some clinics include the head while others do not.  Other clinics use the latest equipment while some use cheaper lasers. This makes it difficult to compare full body laser hair removal packages when just looking at the price alone.

Making a decision based just on the price may lead to you being unhappy with your results and could cost you more in the long run.

Full Body Laser Hair Removal Cost In London 2020

Womens Full Body Laser (Prices Jan 2020)
Premier Laser	2140
Harley Medical	2774
Therapie	2388
Sk:n	2360
DM Aesthetics	2225 (5 areas) 2600 (7 areas)
Mayfair Aesthetics	2200
Pulse Light	2136
Skin Perfection	2195

Why Is Full Body Laser Hair Removal Expensive?

The main cost for a full body laser hair removal is the cost of the practitioner, the time taken and business expenses like rent, salaries and technology.

If a clinic is located in a prestigious London location and uses top of the range laser machines, this cost will be reflected in the price.

If a clinic is located at the end of a local high street using cheaper non branded lasers then the price for a full body laser hair removal treatment would be cheaper.

The latest Candela and Cynosure Laser hair removal machines can cost over £100,000. Service and maintenance costs plus replacement heads, insurance and accessories also add to the costs.

Avoid cheap laser clinics

This cost will be reflected in the price you pay. These two top brands are used by most well known reputable clinics in London, like Premier Laser. They are FDA approved and have passed strict testing in the USA and are medical grade 4 which means they are same powerful lasers used in hospitals.

Not all lasers are the same, laser machines can be bought cheaply online and although their standards are improving, they will not be FDA approved not perform as well.

If your clinic is using unbranded machines that are not FDA approved be very careful, despite the reassurances the clinic may give you.

A quality service and experience in any business cannot be bought to you at a cheap price, and a cheap price can not bring you a quality service and experience.

Full Body Laser Hair Removal For Men costs more then women

 Full body laser for men tends to cost 10-15% more then for the same treatment for women This is due to the larger body area that generally needs to be covered for men. It takes longer to perform so a higher rate is charged by clinics due to the increased time factor.

The average cost for a full body laser hair removal package for men in London will cost between £2400 – £3500.

How Long Does Full Body Laser Hair Removal Last, how much are top up sessions? 

If you have completed your laser hair package of 6 – 8 treatments, stuck to your scheduled appointments and followed practitioner advice then you should have up to a 90% reduction in hair growth. You may need top up sessions which can vary from 1 a year or every e years.

Laser hair removal will not remove 100% of your hair forever but a 90% reduction is dramatic and life changing for many.

If you notice hair growing back you can go back for a top-up or touch-up session once or twice a year. Compare this with the non-stop cycle of shaving or waxing. Although not as expensive initially as laser the costs, time spent and inconvenience add up over the course of your lifetime.

Results also vary depending on individuals. Someone may only need 4  sessions to see hair removed completely whereas other people may need 10-14 sessions to experience the same results.

That is why it is really important to choose the right clinic with the best technology and experienced practitioners, who will work with you to ensure you get the best results.

How Many Laser Treatments Are Needed For A Full Body?

Results are noticeable after your very first session. Lasers can only destroy hairs in the growth phase of the hair cycle. That is why appointments are spread apart so that all hairs will eventually be destroyed.

Laser hair removal can work for some people with only four sessions. But the majority of people will need at least 8 sessions spread out every six weeks.

Being consistent will impact the outcome too. If you are constantly rescheduling appointments this will disrupt your treatment. Hormone levels, skin type and tone will affect the results and you may need more then 10 sessions to get the results you are after.

Most clinics offer 8 sessions and this will go all or some way to permanently reducing your hair growth.

Is It Worth Getting Laser Hair Removal?

If you are seriously considering full body laser hair removal you should weigh this up against the cost of not having it done.

Add up how much you spend on razors or bikini wax sessions over your lifetime and it will probably be more then laser hair removal.

If you think of laser hair removal as a beauty investment in yourself, not only will you be saving money in the long run, you don’t have to spend the time, have the inconvenience and worry about hair removal whether it be your legs, face or bikini.

Does Full Body Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

When having laser hair removal over your whole body, some areas will be more sensitive then others. Some people are more sensitive to laser then others.

All reputable clinics will carry out a test with the laser on your skin. This is called a patch test and involves testing the laser on various parts of your body to see how you respond.

You will then have to wait a minimum of 24 hours before you can start your treatment. If a clinic does not require you to wait then you could end up with serious burns, avoid these clinics at all costs.

The general feedback is that laser hair removal hurts less than waxing and is often compared to being snapped by a rubber band. Again some people tolerate pain better then others.

Full Body Laser Hair Removal Offers

As the number of companies offering laser hair removal has increased the good news for you is there are plenty of offers on the market. Discounts from 20% – 50% are common so always shop around.

I hope you have learned from reading this that the worse thing you can do is to choose based on price alone.

If an offer is too good to be true, it probably is.

Laser hair removal in Harley street – is it worth it ?

Laser hair removal in Harley street will cost you more then anywhere else in the UK. You may be wondering :

“Is it worth paying a lot more for laser hair removal at a prestigious Harley street address then a high street clinic?”

Harley street reputation

Harley Street, named after Thomas Harley who was Lord Mayor of London in 1767, has a well deserved worldwide reputation for medical excellence.

Located in Marylebone, Central London, it has, since the 19th century, became famous for the high concentration of a large number of private doctors, consultants and specialists in medicine and surgery.

Over 3,000 people are employed in the Harley Street area. Working in clinics, hospitals, medical and paramedical practices offering everything from laser hair removal to lip fillers to life saving surgery.

Laser hair removal Harley street prices

Given the explosion of popularity of laser hair removal over the last few years and the fact lasers now provide excellent results on both lighter and dark skin tones with its dual wavelength technology, more clinics have added laser hair removal to their services.

You can expect to pay around 30-80% more by having laser hair removal at a Harley Street clinic. Many clinics will not publish their laser hair removal prices online, making comparing prices difficult. You will have call the clinic or book an appointment before prices are revealed.

Lots of clinics performing laser hair removal on Harley Street also perform more expensive invasive surgical procedures. Laser is not seen as a major revenue generator or core part of their business, just a handy add.

Full body laser hair removal prices on Harley street

Full body laser hair removal can cost around £3,500 on Harley Street. This is a lot more then you would pay at clinic not on Harley Street where prices for full body laser hair removal are between £2000-£2600.

• Full body at Laser Hair Removal at Premier Laser costs £2140 (Female/June 2020 prices)
• Full body at Laser Hair Removal at 111 Harley Street £3600 (Female/ June 2020 prices)

If you are thinking about using a Harley Street clinic and you do not live close by then there will be the added cost of travelling to the clinic.

Driving would be difficult due to lack of parking and Harley Street is inside the congestion zone. Then there is the cost of your time travelling to consider.

If you purchase a laser hair removal package, it could mean you will be travelling there 8 times every 6 weeks. This will add up. Will it be worth the extra cost and potential inconvenience of travelling there?

Will you get better results going to a Harley street clinic for laser hair removal?

Ultimately results are what matter. Clinics in Harley Street use the same Lasers as high street clinics. The top brands used for laser hair removal are US manufactured Candela and Cynosure. They are FDA approved Grade 4 lasers, the same used in hospitals, costing around £100,000 each.

Harley Street clinics do not have access to better technology or lasers which would lead to better results to explain the higher price.

Better practitioners at Harley Street ?

If the technology is the same, will the practitioners be more experienced?, guaranteeing you better results and justifying the higher price?

It is unlikely laser hair removal will be performed by a Doctor when you visit a Harley Street clinic. It will be usually be performed by a laser hair practitioner, the same as you would find away from Harley Street.

Unless you find a laser clinic on Harley Street specialising in laser hair removal,  the practitioner may not be as experienced as you may think or find away from Harley Street, in a specialist laser clinic. This is because they may perform laser hair removal as well as many other aesthetic procedures during a typical day.

Compare this with a practitioner at a dedicated laser clinic who only does laser hair treatments all day. They will have far more experience with clients from all backgrounds, ages, skin types and tones so you would be in safer hands and experience better results.

If the technology is the same, the practitioners are no better then you would find elsewhere and you are not guaranteed better results, why does laser hair removal at a Harley Street clinic cost more?.

The real reason Harley street costs more

The higher treatment price is mainly due to the higher expenses of running a business from the prestigious Harley Street address. Not the fact better technology or more highly trained practitioners are used.

To operate a clinic on Harley Street will cost a lot more then other locations such as high streets. Rent and rates make up one of the biggest costs when operating a clinic. So you are paying a premium for the W1 postcode and street name which then is reflected in the prices charged.

Many clinics on Harley Street are not at the street level and you may have to go up many floors to find a small, dark, windowless clinic tucked away. This is to reduce costs, while keeping the famous Harley Street address which clinics believe allows them to charge more.

How to get the best laser hair removal results

With laser hair removal, great results are based on internal and external factors. Internal factors include how your body responds including hormone levels, skin type and tone. These are usually beyond your control.

External factors, which you can control, can be spilt into 3 parts. For the best laser hair removal results you will need the following :

• Top of the range technology
• Experienced practitioners
• Consistency, commitment and good communication with your practitioner

The secret to laser hair removal success depends the best technology, best practitioners and being committed and consistent with the treatment. This means not missing or cancelling appointments and communicating feedback to the practitioner performing the laser hair and following the advice given.

If you are unable to commit to the course of treatment you will not get great results, even at the best laser hair removal clinic in Harley Street.

If any of the above are missing you will likely end up disappointed, regardless of the cost or where you had it done, whether it was Harley Street or Harrow!

Harley Street v high street

Laser hair removal has become an extremely competitive market recently with fierce expansion by Irish and Australian laser hair removal franchises opening across London and the UK.

They have avoided opening Harley Street and instead target local high streets and shopping centres.

Outside of Harley Street you will also come across the larger clinic chains like Premier Laser. With 9 clinics across London and operating with exactly the same state of the art technology as Harley Street clinics and with highly experienced practitioners Premier charge in some cases less then half of what you would pay in Harley Street.

In conclusion

Do you really need to go to Harley Street to get better laser hair removal results?. The short answer is no. You are probably better served by a reputable clinic close by. The final choice of course is yours. Some people enjoy saying they are visiting a Harley Street clinic or believe they may receive a more personal service, higher quality service in W1.

For most people though, if you can get the same results, or better, on your high street while saving hundreds of pounds and not have the inconvenience, cost and hassle of travelling far for treatments, most people would think this is a great option.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A lot of women (and some men!) dream of smooth and hairless skin – I’m no different!.

I am an overseas student living and studying at a London University. I have also been working in the nail and eyelash industry and have high standards when it comes to my own appearance, so excess and visible hair simply cannot exist on my skin!.

(Prices have come down so it’s more affordable for uni students to get laser hair removal and many clinics offer student discounts making it cheaper)

With so many aesthetic, beauty and laser hair removal clinics available in London offering laser hair removal there has never been a better time to get rid of excess hair.

But which one should you choose?.

I previously had laser hair removal done for my underarms, arms, and legs when back home in my country. But after moving to the UK for a few years, I discovered that my facial hair had become more visible, especially hair on my upper lip.

Many people said it could be the problem of hard water encouraging hair growth but I’m not so sure. Whatever the reason I just wanted it gone.

So I decided to go for the upper lip and bikini laser hair removal. Bikini laser hair removal is also very popular, I can totally understand why just thinking of all the time, money and pain I went through with waxing all those years!.

How I choose the skin clinic for my laser hair removal

Since I had very successful laser hair removal results using by Candela in my home country i wanted to find a clinic in London using them.

I did a Google search and came across Premier Laser & Skin. After digging around for more information about this clinic I found out :

• The clinic was established in 2008
• Has 11 years experience in laser hair
• Also provides skin management, body slimming & contouring, anti-ageing and filler injections.
• They have nine clinics located in London.
• They use the Candela Gentle Max Pro machine, the latest model and technology for laser hair removal.
• They treated more than 500,000 customers
• Suitable for different races, all skin types and colours.
• Many celebrities favour to this clinic such as Anne Marie, Maya Jama and many more
• Another good point is that this company provides various language services, so there is no need to worry about the language barrier.

Price of Laser Hair Removal for students

As a student it was important that the price was right. Looking at the price again, I found out the cost of Premier Laser & Skin stood out from other clinics in my area.

For example – 

For my upper lip and bikini areas, six sessions are 522 pounds, and eight sessions are 580 pounds. The other clinics I searched use the same machine, the price for the same skin areas was 596 pounds for four sessions and 1008 pounds for eight sessions.

Why I choose Premier Laser for my laser hair removal

So I chose Premier Laser & Skin due to their competitive price, a large amount of experience and accessible location. I also booked a consultation and treatments for fat reduction and filler injection for chin contouring. I plan having them done together and get ready for summer.

­­­

Free consultation and patch test

I made an online enquiry late night and next day morning I received a appointment for free consultations and patch test.

On the day, I arrived at the clinic about 10 minutes in advance. The clinic was in Liverpool St. in the City of London which was only a 12-minute walk from where I live.

The face-to-face consultation process was very smooth. Firstly I was given a medical form to fill in in order to check my suitability, the laser practitioner then explained how laser hair removal treatment works, checked my skin type and areas need to be treated, answered all my strange questions, followed by doing few patch tests on my upper lip and bikini areas. She explained that laser patch test is a must.

If there is no adverse reaction 48 hours post patch test, I will be totally safe to have the full skin lasered.

How laser hair removal works

She explained the science part that laser light energy is absorbed by melanin which gives hair colour, energy will be transmitted to hair root and destroy it, therefore making the hair lose its ability to regenerate without harming other skin tissues which due to my research I had a rough idea about.

How to prepare for a laser hair appointment

I was told that hair needed to be shaved the night before my appointment. This is to make sure laser energy can focus on killing hair root rather than burn hair shift which can be shaved.

She confirmed I cannot use depilatory cream as chemicals will cause skin sensitivity, no plucking and waxing either as the hair root needed to stay so the laser can permanently kill it.

I booked my next full treatment appointment before I left the clinic.

What happens during a Laser hair removal

Following my laser practitioner’s instructions, I shaved my lip hair and bikini hair at home the night before my appointment and came to the clinic 10 minutes earlier.

After being registered with the front desk, I had some refreshments in the waiting area, my practitioner introduced themselves and said hello and took me to the laser treatment room.

I lay down on couch comfortably, she checked my skin and asked few questions, I was given laser protection goggles to wear. She cleaned my skin first, then drew guidelines with white pencil on where I want to be treated,

She explained this was especially important for Bikini areas, so both sides can be treated precisely and symmetrically.

After the first laser pulse, she asked for my feedback, it was ok so she carried on and finished all treatment in about 30 minutes.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

My skin looked red, similar redness as after waxing.

It felt like someone was flicking an elastic band on my skin accompanied by a burst of cool air but it much easier than waxing!. After finishing lasering, my practitioner applied cold aloe vera gel to sooth the skin and to calm down the redness.

What is the aftercare following laser hair removal?

After I got dressed, my practitioner reminded me again of the home care process and handed me a paper copy. It listed:

• To avoid hot shower and bathing for 48 hours (but lukewarm water is fine)
• No swimming and sweating excise for 48 hours.
• To avoid getting a suntan during the course of treatments
• Using sunscreen SPF50 every day on my face.

I booked my 2nd laser hair removal appointment before I left clinic.

My Laser Hair Removal Results after one treatment

I bought a package of  8 sessions treatments.

• After 1st session: I can see the reduction and much slower of regrowth. I only need to shave every week rather than every 3 days previously.

My Laser Hair Removal Results after four treatments

• After 4th session: I don’t need to shave anymore, the regrowth is much less, finer and even more slower.
• My bikini hair is particularly effective,

My final thoughts

I have fallen in love with my hairless skin!. I will continue to do the remaining 4 sessions according to the recommendation, and look forward to even better results.

Getting embarrassed about having laser hair removal on your Brazilian area is perfectly normal. It can be a bit intimidating visiting a clinic, undressing and letting a complete stranger get up close and personal with you. It is a bit like going to the doctor or your gynaecologist knowing that you will have to take your clothes off at some point and dreading it.

The good news is you will not be the first person your laser hair removal practitioner will have performed laser hair removal in intimate areas on. Whether it’s a Brazilian, bikini, full Hollywood or perianal (the bit between you bum) it’s just another day at the office for an experienced laser practitioner.

They have seen everything, done everything, answered the strangest questions and heard bizarre requests from their clients and handled it all with the utmost professionalism and usually with a smile on their face. But knowing this still doesn’t make it any easier for you.

If you are a little bit self conscious about your body, and let’s face it, who isn’t, we will go over some tips to help you if you are thinking about getting laser hair removal in embarrassing areas.

If you are self conscious over your hair or the shape of your body, your laser hair practitioner would have seen it all before. If you think you are quite hairy they would always have treated someone a lot hairier then you! Plus after your first session when you return 6-8 weeks later there will be less hair because of the hair removed from your first session.

Also don’t forget that for each laser hair session, you have to prepare by shaving the area the night before, so you don’t have to worry about the practitioner seeing you at your hairiest.

Where to start…

Firstly, start with a reputable clinic (yes, like ours). At Premier Laser, we have 8 locations across London. We treat hundreds of people a week and have been doing so for over 12 weeks. So that’s a lot of laser, so without sounding too big headed, we’re quite good at it.

Our most popular package is they full body, which means FULL body, so you practitioner will be greatly experienced.

Women can choose a number of styles down below and the three to choose from which often get mixed up are:

• Brazilian – Landing strip styled – no hair on either side
• Bikini – Around the bikini area so upper thighs and side of bikini
• Hollywood – Everything, everywhere off!

With the bikini and Brazilian you don’t have to remove your underwear completely. With the Hollywood you do. A towel is provided so you are never full exposed. Only the areas being lasered are briefly revealed for lasering.

Hopefully that should come as a relief if you were thinking you turn up at the clinic and immediately have to undress. You don’t.

Tips for making you Brazilian laser treatment less embarrassing

If you have purchased a package of 6-8 treatments, clinics usually try and keep the same practitioner for your treatment. Make sure you ask for this and they are aware of your preference. You are the customer and whatever you want should be granted.

Having 8 sessions with 8 different practitioners would not be good for the clinic or you. It will just  add to your stress levels which you want to avoid.

Some of our clients request an older practitioner as they feel more comfortable with someone older and experienced. If you are in your twenties and are not comfortable having someone in their twenties or younger performing your laser hair removal, ask your clinic who is available and request the most experienced or senior technician.

At Premier Laser we don’t employ technicians straight from beauty school. They must have at least three years experience. So you won’t have a technician who is still learning, is more likely to make mistakes and will take longer then an experienced technician.

As mentioned for Brazilian or Bikini your laser technician will provide you with a towel in order to cover areas that aren’t being treated. The whole process only takes a few minutes, so you won’t feel too exposed.

You can always strike up a conversation with your practitioner or listen to music on your phone. Because practitioners work with clients everyday most enjoy nothing more then talking to their clients and catching up on their lives and a juicy bit of gossip between treatments.

Will laser hair removal get less embarrassing?

Once you get over the fear of your first session it should get easier for you. If your clinic has helped you with any requests you may have made after reading the above, your remaining sessions should be a breeze.

If you are thinking about laser hair removal why not contact us for a free consultation and patch test.
