How does laser hair removal work?

Our industry leading lasers use concentrated energy to target hair follicles in unwanted areas to slow and eliminate the hair growth cycle, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth, with lasting results.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Hair removal from a destroyed hair follicle is permanent. However, people who undergo hair removal can expect some hair in the targeted area to grow back. Whether or not hair grows back depends on numerous factors, including the type of hair that regrows, the technology used, and the therapist's skill in removing the hair. Most people find that when hair regrows, it is lighter and less noticeable than it was before. The laser may damage the hair follicle even when it fails to destroy it. If a hair follicle is damaged but not destroyed, the hair will eventually regrow. It can be challenging to destroy every hair follicle so that most people will see some hair regrowth. When hair regrows, it is possible to treat it again, so people who want to remove all the hair may need several treatments. At Charmelle London, we recommend courses of treatment that allow for adequate targeting of hair throughout the hair growth cycle.

How long does laser hair removal last?

Laser hair removal is permanent when the hair follicle is destroyed. When the hair follicle is only damaged, the hair will eventually regrow. The amount of time it takes to regrow depends on the person's unique hair growth cycle. Some people have hair that grows more quickly than others. Hair in a resting phase will grow back more slowly than hair in another phase. Most people can expect some hair regrowth within a few months. Once this happens, they can opt for more removal treatments.

What do I need to do to prepare for my Laser Hair Removal appointment?

* Shave treatment area at least 12-24 hours before your treatment * Avoid chemical peels or laser resurfacing treatments for at least four weeks before your treatment * Exfoliate the treatment area at least three days before your treatment * Ensure no residue fake tan is present on the skin * Avoid excessive sun exposure on the area being treated two weeks prior (including solariums or tanning drugs) * Avoid using topical creams/moisturisers, colognes or perfumes to the area before the appointment * Do not wax or use depilatory creams or pluck hairs four weeks before laser treatment

How many sessions of laser hair removal do I need?

The number of treatments you will need is dependent on many factors: the area being treated, the type of hair being treated, systemic factors such as medications, medical conditions, stress & hormonal influences. You will need at least 6–10 treatments to achieve optimum results.

Do I need a patch test or consultation prior to treatment?

At Charmelle London, we provide in-depth consultations for all treatments to ensure your expectations from treatment can be achieved and that you are receiving the best results possible. We also offer a range of free consultation sessions to help you understand the treatment process and to help you make the most of your treatment. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss your individual needs and requirements.

Can you treat all skin types?

Yes - at Charmelle London, we can treat all skin and hair types - even sun tanned skin. This is possible through our technology choices.

How often can I have my treatment sessions

We recommend you leave a minimum of 4-8 weeks between your treatment times initially; this depends on the area you are treating and your hair cycle. As the number of growing hairs decreases, we may space your treatments out further to ensure we always catch the hair in the correct growth stage, the anagen stage.

Had 3 hydra facials at Charmelle London so far and I can't wait to go back. The facial itself is so relaxing (I almost fall asleep every time) and my skin feels/ looks amazing after but the staff are even better - they are lovely and welcoming and make sure they know exactly what you want out of your experience, can't recommend Charmelle London enough!

Have been receiving facial peels from Charmelle London for chickenpox scars that left my face in a bad way. The ladies have been lovely! From the consultation to now the treatments. No one tried to upsell me anything and they've been incredibly kind. Happy to be going there!
