Thinking About Laser Hair Removal?
Here’s Everything You Need to Know and why now is the best time to start.
Are you considering laser hair removal but unsure of what to expect?
- Will it hurt?
- How many sessionss do you need?
- Is it really permanent?
If you’ve been wondering about these questions, we’ve got you covered!
At Surrey Laser Clinic, we use the Motus AY True Alexandrite technology, a cutting-edge laser system that offers pain-free, highly effective hair removal for all skin types.
Let’s break down everything you need to know before starting your laser hair removal journey.
The Consultation – Your First Step
Before starting any laser hair removal treatment, a consultation is essential. During this appointment, we will:
Assess your skin type and hair texture.
Discuss your medical history.
Create a personalised treatment plan.
Perform a patch test to determine the best laser settings for you and ensure there are no unexpected reactions.
This step also allows you to experience what the laser feels like before committing to a full session.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that targets the melanin in your hair follicles. This process damages the follicle and significantly slows down hair growth over time. Since hair grows in cycles, laser treatment is most effective during the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are needed to achieve optimal results.
At Surrey Laser Clinic, our Motus AY True Alexandrite technology stands out because it offers virtually pain-free treatments while delivering superior results, even on darker skin tones.
What Happens During a Treatment Session?
When you come in for your laser hair removal session, here’s what you can expect:
The treatment area is cleaned and prepped. You’ll be provided with protective goggles to wear. The laser settings are adjusted according to your skin type and hair colour. The treatment begins using a gentle gliding motion, which feels warm rather than painful, making it far more comfortable than traditional laser systems. Thanks to built-in cooling mechanisms, discomfort is minimised, ensuring a smooth experience.
Pain Levels & Aftercare
One of the most common questions we receive is – Does it hurt?
With traditional lasers, some discomfort is expected, but with Motus AY True Alexandrite technology, treatments are virtually pain-free. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle warming feeling rather than a stinging sensation.
After your session, you might experience:
Mild redness or sensitivity, similar to light sunburn. Slight warmth in the treated area (which fades quickly).
To ensure the best results, follow these aftercare tips: âś” Avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours. âś” Skip hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for the rest of the day. âś” Keep the area moisturised using fragrance-free lotions.
When Will You See Results?
Most people start noticing a reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions, but for full, long-lasting results, you’ll typically need 6 to 8 treatment sessions. Factors like hair type, skin tone, and the treatment area will determine the exact number of sessions needed.
Compared to traditional laser systems, Motus AY technology delivers faster, more effective results, meaning you’ll achieve smoother skin sooner!
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
One of the biggest myths is that laser hair removal is 100% permanent. While it significantly reduces hair growth, some maintenance sessions may be needed over time to maintain results. However, it does eliminate the need for constant shaving and waxing, making it a fantastic long-term solution.
