Most people are able to have laser hair removal. The treatment works best on dark, coarse hair because the laser targets the hair pigment, making darker hair easier to identify and treat. However, we use the advanced Cynosure Elite™ laser, which comes with different options of laser to treat different skin and hair types. For more information, book a consultation with one of our Mallucci London practitioners, who will be able to advise the best course of laser hair removal treatment to suit you.

Most body and facial areas can be treated with laser hair removal, including upper lip and chin, legs, bikini, arms, underarms, hands, feet and buttocks.

Depending on which body part and how many areas are being treated, treatment time can vary from 10 minutes to up to 1 hour. Most clients will need a course of 6-10 sessions, with 6 weeks between each appointment. This will be discussed at your consultation in more detail, and tailored to your individual needs.

Typically, hair shedding takes 2-3 weeks. But for a permanent reduction in unwanted hair, we recommend 6-10 sessions in total, each of which are 6 weeks apart.

Your skin might be sensitive after treatment, but this usually fades after a few days. We recommend patients avoid exercise, saunas, steam rooms and hot baths for 24 hours after laser hair removal, as this can cause irritation to the skin. We also highly recommend wearing SPF on your face between facial laser hair removal treatments, as the laser causes skin sensitivity to the sun. SPF is our #1 skincare tip to keep skin smooth, even and protected all year round.
