Diode Laser Hair Removal
Smooth, long-lasting results without the daily routine
Unwanted hair can be frustrating to manage — from shaving and waxing to constant regrowth and irritation. Diode laser hair removal offers a clinically proven approach to reducing unwanted hair growth, helping you achieve smoother-looking skin with less maintenance over time.
Using concentrated laser energy, the treatment targets the pigment within the hair follicle. The energy is absorbed and converted into heat, disrupting the follicle and reducing its ability to produce hair.
With a personalised course of treatments, hair can become finer, lighter and significantly reduced, leaving your skin feeling smoother and easier to maintain.
How Does it Work?
Diode laser technology delivers precise pulses of light into the skin, targeting the hair follicle while carefully protecting the surrounding skin.
Because hair grows through different phases, not all hairs can be effectively treated at the same time. A course of treatments is therefore recommended to target hairs during their active growth phase.
At your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and hair type and create a treatment plan tailored to you.
What areas can be treated?
Diode laser hair removal can be used on many areas of the body, including:
Face and neck
Underarms
Arms
Legs
Bikini and intimate areas
Chest and back
Other areas of unwanted hair
If you’re unsure whether a particular area is suitable, we can discuss this during your consultation.
Who is diode laser hair removal suitable for?
Diode laser technology can be suitable for many different skin and hair types. However, results can vary depending on the colour and thickness of the hair.
Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment within the hair, so darker, coarser hairs generally respond particularly well. Very light, grey, white or red hairs may respond less effectively.
A consultation is essential so we can assess your individual suitability and select the safest and most effective treatment approach.

FAQs
-
Laser hair removal is best described as long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal. Following a course of treatments, many patients experience a significant and lasting reduction in hair growth. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
-
The number of sessions varies from person to person and depends on factors including the treatment area, hair colour, hair thickness, skin type and individual hair-growth cycle.
A course of approximately 6–8 treatments is often recommended, although this can vary and some patients may require additional sessions or maintenance treatments.
Your treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
-
Most patients describe treatment as a warm or snapping sensation. Comfort levels vary depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity. Cooling technology can help make the treatment more comfortable.
-
Waxing and plucking should generally be avoided during your course because they remove the hair from the follicle, which the laser needs to target. Shaving is usually recommended instead.
-
Hair reduction is gradual. Following each session, treated hairs may shed over the following days or weeks, with progressive reduction becoming more noticeable over the course of your treatment programme.
-
Treatment time depends on the area being treated. Smaller areas can take only a few minutes, while larger areas naturally require longer.
-
Laser treatment is most effective when there is sufficient contrast between the hair and surrounding skin. Darker hairs generally respond best, while very blonde, white, grey or some red hairs may be less responsive.
