Frequently Asked Questions
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a proven method to reduce/remove hair growth from the body. At Aqua-Tox we use the award-winning Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal machine which is a clinically tested, virtually painless laser and also the safest laser hair removal method for all skin types, including dark and tanned skin.
It is the alternative to epilation, shaving creams, razor shaving or waxing.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
The laser from the machine emits ‘light’ energy, which targets the hairs. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, allowing the heat to travel down the hair follicles that lie beneath the surface of the skin using medical-grade laser. This destroys the root of the hair and the interconnectors connecting it to the blood supply, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. As a result, preventing the regrowth of more hair while giving lasting results of smooth skin. The Soprano Titanium uses 3 laser wavelengths which help treat a variety of hair and skin tones; Alexandrite 755nm especially for light coloured and thin hair, Speed 810nm for fast and effective treatment time and YAG 1064nm which is specialised for darker skin tones.
Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?
The Soprano Titanium uses a superior technology which is clinically tested and virtually painless. It uses a unique cooling system called Ice Plus which cools your skin throughout the treatment if needed. The Ice Plus also minimises the risk of burns whilst maintaining heat deep within, where the hair follicles are treated. During your treatment, our therapist will work with you to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Does Laser Hair Removal only work on dark hair?
The Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal system allows us to perform effective laser hair removal on most hair colourswith the exception of red and white hair.
Before starting any treatment we will perform a consultation and patch test to assess your skin & hair and ensure you are suitable for treatment.
Where can I get Laser Hair Removal in Hertfordshire?
Your laser hair removal treatment and required patch test will both take place at our clinic in Hertford, Hertfordshire. We have a specialised laser treatment room, waiting area and parking close by. We are situated within easy reach of the A10, A414 and A602 making us easily reachable from many surrounding towns including Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage and St Albans.
How long do I wait between Laser Hair Removal sessions?
Usually four to six weeks on the face and six to eight weeks on the body. The gap matters, because the laser only affects hairs in their active growth phase. Treating too soon simply wastes a session. Your practitioner sets your spacing at consultation and adjusts it as you go.
Can I have Laser Hair Removal in the summer?
Yes, provided the area has not been recently tanned and stays covered or protected with high-factor sun cream afterwards. Soprano Titanium is safer on tanned skin than older lasers, but a fresh tan still raises the risk of burns and pigment change. We check your skin before every session.
How long does a Laser Hair Removal appointment take?
It depends how many areas you are having. A single small area such as underarms takes about ten minutes. A three area appointment takes around 45 minutes. We confirm your appointment length when you book, so you know exactly how much time to allow on the day.
Are there package prices for multiple areas?
Yes. Bronze covers three areas at £1,450, Silver four areas at £1,850, Gold five areas at £2,200 and Platinum six areas at £2,400. Which areas you combine is up to you, and we work out the best value option at your consultation. There is also a £100 refer a friend offer.
Can I have Laser Hair Removal while breastfeeding?
Yes. Laser hair removal is not absorbed into the bloodstream and does not affect milk. Hormonal changes after pregnancy can cause temporary extra growth, so results may be less predictable in the early months. Pregnancy itself is different and we do not treat during it.
Can I have Laser Hair Removal Treatment if I am pregnant?
Unfortunately we cannot perform laser hair removal treatment during pregnancy, however we can treat after childbirth once your hormones have settled. We advise waiting around 6 months to ensure your hormones are fully settled and will not interrupt your levels of hair growth.
There are no studies to show any risk of having laser hair removal treatment whilst breastfeeding but we don’t personally recommend it as the hormones are not settled and we would not be able to guarantee results. However, if you decide to take a break from laser hair treatments whilst breastfeeding, it will not effect your results and we can continue your course when you are ready.
What should I be aware of after my Laser Hair Removal treatment?
Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation or darker pigmentation. We strongly recommend an SPF30 + to be applied over the treated area throughout the course of your treatment. Avoid using sun beds 4 weeks after treatment and do not use any other removal treatment methods such as waxing, tweezing or electrolysis as it will disturb the hair follicle at the treatment area. We do however recommend that you exfoliate the treatment area as this will help the removal process. Avoid hot baths and heat treatments for the first 48 hours.
