Laser hair removal questions
How much does laser hair removal cost in Hertford?
Single sessions run from £30 for ears and nose and £50 for the upper lip or chin, up to £200 for full legs or a back. Underarms are £85, a standard bikini £130 and full face £150. A course of six costs the price of five, multi-area packages run from £1,450 for three areas, and the £15 consultation is deducted from your first treatment. The final cost depends on the areas treated and how many sessions your hair needs, which we confirm at your patch test.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
The Soprano Titanium is clinically tested and virtually painless. Its Ice Plus cooling system cools your skin throughout the treatment, and your practitioner adjusts the settings to you and checks how you are feeling during the session.
Does it work on fair, blonde or red hair?
The laser targets pigment, so dark hair responds best. Dark blonde often responds partially, while red, grey and white hair do not respond. We will tell you honestly at your consultation whether your hair colour is suitable rather than sell you a course that cannot work.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually six to eight, with facial sessions four to six weeks apart and body sessions six to eight weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles and the laser only affects hairs in their active phase, which is why the spacing matters. Results build over the course and occasional top-ups keep the area smooth.
Is it safe on dark or tanned skin?
Yes. The Soprano Titanium combines three wavelengths, including one designed for darker skin tones, and is FDA cleared for hair removal on all skin types. We still check your skin at every session and ask you to avoid fresh tanning and fake tan in the week either side of treatment.
Can I have laser hair removal in the summer?
Yes, provided the area has not been recently tanned and you keep it covered or protected with a high factor sun cream afterwards. Avoid sun exposure and sunbeds on the treated area for two weeks after each session.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It gives significant, long-lasting hair reduction for most people, but no clinic can guarantee permanent removal because hair and hormones change over time. After a full course most clients find they rarely reach for a razor, with an occasional top-up session if new growth appears.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal uses light energy to reduce hair growth over a course of treatments. At Aqua-Tox we use the Soprano Titanium, a clinically tested, virtually painless laser that is suitable for all skin types, including darker and tanned skin. It is a longer lasting alternative to shaving, waxing, epilating and hair removal creams. If your hair is lighter, read about laser hair removal for fair hair.
How does laser hair removal work?
The laser sends light energy into the hair. The pigment in the hair absorbs it and turns it into heat, which travels down to the follicle beneath the skin and damages the root, so it is much less able to grow a new hair, while the surrounding skin is left unharmed. Soprano Titanium combines three wavelengths in one applicator: 755nm alexandrite for lighter and finer hair, 810nm diode for fast, effective treatment and 1064nm Nd:YAG for darker skin tones.
How do I prepare for my laser hair removal treatment?
Your first visit is a consultation and patch test, so please do not shave before it, as your practitioner needs to see your hair. Before each treatment, shave the area so it is hair free. For two weeks beforehand avoid bleaching, plucking, epilating or waxing, and avoid fake tan for seven days before and after each session.
Do I need to shave before laser hair removal?
Yes, shave the treatment area before each appointment so it is hair free. The one exception is your first consultation: please do not shave before it, so your practitioner can assess your hair. They will shave a small area to carry out the patch test.
Is it OK to shave after laser hair removal?
Yes. You may want to leave it a day or two if your skin feels irritated. After two or three sessions most people find they reach for the razor far less, as fewer follicles are still active.
What can I expect after my first treatment?
Most people see treated hairs start to shed one to two weeks after the first session, and gentle exfoliation or dry brushing helps them come away. You may notice a reduction straight away, but hair grows in cycles, so the full course is what gives long lasting results.
Are there any side effects to laser hair removal?
Side effects are minimal. The laser is set for your skin type and the area being treated, and you are given full pre care and aftercare advice when you book. Use an SPF on any treated area that is exposed to the sun.
Can you treat over tattoos?
No. The laser picks up the pigment in tattoo ink, so any tattooed areas are covered before treatment and we work around them. For tattoos you want gone, see laser tattoo removal.
What aftercare do I need after laser hair removal?
Avoid sun exposure for two weeks after each session and apply SPF 30 or higher to the area throughout your course, as this lowers the chance of pigmentation changes. Avoid sunbeds for four weeks, hot baths and heat treatments for 48 hours, and other hair removal such as waxing, tweezing or electrolysis, as these disturb the follicle. Gentle exfoliation helps the treated hairs shed.
Can I have laser hair removal if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
We do not treat during pregnancy. After the birth we usually suggest waiting around six months, as hormone changes can cause temporary extra growth and make results less predictable. Laser hair removal is not absorbed into the bloodstream and does not affect breast milk, but many clients prefer to pause their course while breastfeeding and carry on when they are ready. Pausing does not affect your results, and your practitioner will talk it through with you at your consultation.
What laser does Aqua-Tox use for hair removal?
Soprano Titanium, an Alma diode laser combining three wavelengths in a single applicator. It treats all skin tones including darker skin and uses Ice Plus cooling, which makes it close to pain free. It is markedly more comfortable than older alexandrite or IPL machines.
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, and a three area appointment around 45 minutes. We confirm your appointment length when you book, so you know how much time to allow on the day.
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, so treating too soon wastes a session. Your practitioner sets your spacing at consultation and adjusts it as you go. Our guide to how many sessions of laser hair removal you need explains more.
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, each as a course of six. Which areas you combine is up to you, and bespoke packages can be put together for more areas. See the package prices above.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, payment plans are available on purchases over £500. Courses and packages can be paid in full or through PayPal Pay in 3 to get the discounted price. Call the clinic on 01992 878381 for details.
