Before your session at our London clinic, an experienced practitioner will assess your medical history, skin colour, hair density, and treatment suitability. The targeted area will be cleansed and prepped, and protective eyewear will be provided. During the procedure, the laser hair removal machine will emit pulses of laser light to target hair follicles, with most patients experiencing a mild warming or tingling sensation.
Each session lasts between 15-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, similar to mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and apply soothing cream with SPF to protect the skin. Results develop gradually, with hair becoming finer and sparser after each session.
At The Aesthetics Doctor, we use the Alma Harmony laser system, an advanced laser for hair removal designed for fast, effective, and virtually painless treatments. Unlike older laser technology, the Alma Harmony system utilises innovative cooling technology to keep the skin surface comfortable while delivering precise laser energy to hair follicles.
The Alma Harmony laser allows for shorter treatment sessions, providing faster results with minimal downtime. Whether you’re targeting small areas like the upper lip or larger areas like the legs, this technology ensures a smooth, hair-free finish with long-term effectiveness.
