This is the most common question we hear from clients who have previously tried IPL or been turned away by providers who only treat lighter skin. The answer depends on the technology used and the training of the person operating it.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices emit a broad-spectrum light that is less specific in its targeting. They work reasonably well on pale skin with dark hair, but they carry a higher risk of burning, hyperpigmentation or ineffective treatment on darker skin tones. Diode and Nd:YAG lasers, the technology we use at Changes Clinic, offer a significantly more precise wavelength profile. Nd:YAG in particular penetrates deeper and is the established standard for treating darker Fitzpatrick skin types safely.
That said, no honest provider guarantees identical outcomes across all skin types and hair colours. At your consultation, our practitioners assess your skin tone and hair characteristics, explain what results are realistically achievable and recommend the right technology for your profile. If we do not think laser treatment will be effective for you, we will tell you.

About laser hair removal at Changes Clinic
Our VTCT Level 4 qualified, experienced & insured practitioners use clinical-grade diode and Nd:YAG laser technology to target the melanin in hair follicles. The laser energy heats and damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. Because laser is only effective during the active growth phase of the hair cycle, multiple sessions are needed to treat each area fully.
We treat all standard body areas for both men and women, including face, underarms, legs, bikini, chest, back and shoulders.

Laser hair removal performed by VTCT Level 4 qualified, experienced & insured practitioners
VTCT Level 4 is the qualification standard recognised for clinical laser and light treatments in the UK. Our practitioners hold this qualification and work from our CQC-registered clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. This matters because operating a clinical laser device incorrectly carries real risks, including burns, scarring and pigmentation changes.
Your first appointment includes a consultation and a patch test. We do not begin a course of treatment without completing both. This is not a formality: the patch test tells us how your skin responds to the laser at the planned settings, and the consultation determines the right protocol for your skin tone and hair type.
More detail on the treatment process, technology and pricing is available on our laser hair removal service page.

I’ve suffered with rosacea for several years and have tried all sorts of creams, skincare routines and products, but nothing really made a lasting difference.
Looking after my skin and being mindful of my diet definitely helps to keep it under control, but IPL at Changes Clinic has made the biggest difference by far. The redness in my face has reduced so much, and even when I do get a flare up, it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be because the underlying redness has improved so much.
Everyone at Changes Clinic has been friendly, professional and really knowledgeable. They’ve always taken the time to answer any questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process.
I’d happily recommend Changes Clinic to anyone who suffers from rosacea and is thinking about IPL. It’s made a huge difference to my skin and has given me so much more confidence.

It’s the first time I’ve done something like this. What a lovely place & people. Very kind, polite & efficient. Very impressed with my procedure, obviously, it hasn’t healed yet, but will definitely be back for more treatment & also considering other treatments too. Well impressed and everything was explained as the treatment was carried out, pleasantly surprised, thank you so much for taking such good care of my skin. Lee B

I had PRP Hair Treatment, with Sumayiah, she is very friendly, she takes the time to explain the procedure and really makes sure to focus on target areas.
I have had 2 treatments so far and I already see a difference in my hair density and texture. She can use a gun or syringe, the syringe goes deeper and achieves better results, so its worth asking for the syringe method.
I combined my PRP with Calecim serum and that gives an even greater boost. So I recomend you sign up and ask for a booking with Sumaiyah, you'll be very happy that you did..

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my skin! The treatments are effective, safe, and handled by experienced professionals. I struggled with acne for years, and after visiting this clinic, I finally see clear and healthy skin.
The staff always follows up after treatments, which shows how much they care about their clients’ progress. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants real results and excellent service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with great staff. My lazer hair removal was undertaken by two very capable proffessional young women Kelly and Surmaiyah. Both demonstrate constant care and ensure this not always comfortable experience is as pleasant as possible. The facility is immaculately clean and there is excellent visitor free parking available.
I have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to others and whilst I can only comment on the treatments I have received to date I will be availing myself of some of the others services offered.

I am so glad I visited the Changes Clinic today for an upper abdominal ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck as I have a bit of a phobia of scans & Andrea was just brilliant with me. So reassuring, she went above & beyond with careful detailed descriptions, even went over some areas twice just for extra reassurance. I left smiling with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I have already recommended to a friend & highly recommend to anyone experiencing symptoms they’d like some extra peace of mind for. Was also really easy to book & communication excellent throughout. Thank you so much!!

I’ve been attending changes for facial hair removal for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best and easiest experiences for me. Sumaiyah has been amazing through every step. From consultation to our current progress. She shows great professionalism, compassion, consideration -especially when I’m having a bad pain tolerance day- and is very meticulous in which the results are to show for it. Every appointment I get a little nervous and Sumaiyah has always put my nerves at ease and worked at a pace that suits me and my needs. I’m very thankful to work with her and be attending changes clinic. I would recommend their treatment. The staff are very welcoming. Adriana Verrier :) .

Common questions
Is laser hair removal safe?
Clinical-grade laser hair removal is safe when performed by a qualified, experienced & insured practitioner using appropriate technology for your skin type. The main risks, including burns, hyperpigmentation and blistering, are associated with incorrect device settings or treatment on unsuitable candidates. Our VTCT Level 4 practitioners carry out a full skin assessment and patch test before starting any course of treatment. We also provide written aftercare instructions to reduce the risk of post-treatment complications.
How is laser hair removal different from IPL?
Laser devices emit a single, focused wavelength of light, which allows the energy to target hair follicles more precisely and at greater depth than IPL. IPL uses a broad-spectrum light that scatters more, making it less consistent, particularly on darker skin tones or finer hair. Our diode and Nd:YAG lasers are clinical-grade devices, not the consumer-level equipment sold for home use. The result is more reliable hair reduction with a lower risk of skin reactions.
Can laser hair removal be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
Yes. Clients often combine a laser hair removal course with aesthetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers or acne treatment, depending on their needs. It is worth discussing your full treatment interests at the consultation so we can consider timing and any potential interactions between treatments.
