Is laser hair removal worth it, and will it work on my skin tone?
These two questions come up in almost every first consultation. Both are worth addressing directly.
On effectiveness: laser hair removal produces lasting hair reduction, not always complete permanent removal after a single course. Most clients see 80-90% reduction in hair growth across a treated area following a full course. Hair that does regrow tends to be finer and lighter. For many people, this removes the need for regular waxing or shaving entirely. Whether that is worth it depends on how much time and money you currently spend on alternative methods and how much that hair bothers you.
On skin tone: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices, which many salons use, struggle with darker skin tones because the light can target melanin in the skin rather than in the hair follicle. Medical-grade diode and Nd:YAG lasers, which we use at Changes Clinic, are designed to treat a full range of skin tones safely, including Fitzpatrick skin types V and VI. Your practitioner will assess your skin and hair type at your free consultation and confirm which laser is best for you. Here is what we offer at Changes Clinic.

About laser hair removal at Changes Clinic
Our VTCT Level 4 qualified, experienced & insured practitioners use diode and Nd:YAG laser technology to deliver targeted energy to hair follicles, damaging them at the root and reducing their ability to produce new hair. Each session targets follicles in the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions are needed to catch all hairs at the right stage.
We treat all areas of the body and face: legs, underarms, bikini and Brazilian, back, chest, arms, upper lip, chin, jawline, and more. Treatment plans are tailored to the area, your skin type and your hair type.
Treatment at a glance: - Treatment time: 15-60 minutes depending on area - Sessions typically needed: 6-8 for most areas, with annual maintenance possible - Interval between sessions: 4-6 weeks for facial areas, 6-8 weeks for body - Results timeline: progressive reduction from session 2-3 onwards - Downtime: mild redness for 24-48 hours, typically - Skin tones treated: all Fitzpatrick skin types

Laser hair removal performed by VTCT Level 4 qualified, experienced & insured practitioners
VTCT Level 4 is the industry-recognised qualification for laser and light-based treatments. It covers anatomy, skin science, laser physics, contraindications and safe practice. Not every salon or clinic requires their practitioners to hold this qualification before offering laser treatments. At Changes Clinic, it is a baseline standard.
Our practitioners carry out a full skin and medical assessment before your first session. This determines which laser parameters are appropriate for your skin and hair type, and identifies any contraindications. We do not treat without this assessment in place.
Changes Clinic is CQC-registered. You can find further detail about the laser technology we use and the full treatment process on our laser hair removal service page.

What our clients say
Common questions
Is laser hair removal safe?
Medical-grade laser hair removal is safe when a VTCT-qualified practitioner carries out a thorough skin assessment beforehand and uses the correct parameters for your skin and hair type. The most common side effects are temporary redness and mild sensitivity in the treated area, which settle within 24-48 hours. Our practitioners complete a patch test and full consultation before your first session to confirm the appropriate settings for your skin.
How is laser hair removal different from IPL?
IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, which makes it less precise and less effective on darker skin tones. Medical-grade laser uses a single targeted wavelength that penetrates to the follicle more accurately and with greater energy. Diode and Nd:YAG lasers, which we use, are more effective across a wider range of skin and hair types than IPL devices typically found in salons. The technology makes a real difference to the outcome.
Can laser hair removal be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
Yes. Laser hair removal works alongside almost any other aesthetic treatment. Some clients combine it with skin treatments such as acne treatment or professional skincare alongside their hair removal course. We advise on timing and sequencing at your consultation so that treatments do not interfere with each other.
