Will laser hair removal work on my skin and hair type?
This is the right question to ask before booking anywhere. The honest answer is: it depends on the technology used and the training of the person operating it. Not all laser devices are the same, and not all clinics have practitioners qualified to treat the full range of skin tones safely.
Laser hair removal targets the pigment in the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and converts to heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future growth. Diode lasers and Nd:YAG lasers are the clinical standard for this. IPL (intense pulsed light) devices, which many salons and home kits use, emit a broad spectrum of light and are less precise, less effective on finer or lighter hair, and carry a higher risk of adverse effects on darker skin tones.
At Changes Clinic, our VTCT Level 4 qualified, experienced & insured practitioners use clinical-grade laser technology and carry out an assessment of your skin tone and hair type before treatment begins. We treat all skin tones. If a particular area or hair colour requires a different approach, we will tell you what to expect honestly.

About laser hair removal at Changes Clinic
Our practitioners use diode and Nd:YAG laser technology to treat unwanted hair across the body and face. Common treatment areas include legs, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, face and upper lip. We treat both men and women.
Laser hair removal works in cycles because it is only effective on hair in the active growth phase. Multiple sessions are needed to treat each follicle at the right point in its cycle. Most clients require six to eight sessions to achieve a significant, lasting reduction in hair growth, spaced four to six weeks apart for body areas and four weeks apart for facial areas.

Laser hair removal performed by VTCT Level 4 qualified, experienced & insured practitioners
Using a medical-grade laser on skin and hair follicles requires formal training. Our practitioners hold a VTCT Level 4 qualification in laser and light treatments — the standard qualification for clinical laser practice in the UK. They carry out a full skin and hair assessment before your first session, including a patch test.
The patch test matters. It gives us information about how your skin responds to the energy level used, and it rules out adverse reactions before we treat the full area. We do not skip this step.
Changes Clinic is a CQC-registered clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. Our laser hair removal practitioners work in the same clinical environment as our medical prescribers.

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.

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 for all skin tones when performed by a trained practitioner using appropriate technology and settings. The most common effects are temporary redness and warmth in the treated area, which settle within a few hours. Blistering or changes in skin pigmentation can occur if incorrect settings are used, which is one reason VTCT Level 4 training matters. Our practitioners carry out a full skin assessment and patch test before any treatment begins.
How is laser hair removal different from IPL?
Laser hair removal uses a single, specific wavelength of light energy targeted precisely at the hair follicle. IPL emits a broad spectrum of light that is less precise and less effective on finer or lighter hair. Laser technology is more effective per session, better suited to a wider range of skin tones, and has a more predictable outcome. Many clients who have had unsatisfactory results with IPL find clinical laser treatment significantly more effective.
Can laser hair removal be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
Laser hair removal sessions are generally kept separate from treatments that sensitise or stress the skin, such as chemical peels or intense skin treatments, to avoid overlapping effects on the same area. Between sessions, other aesthetic treatments to different areas of the body or face are generally fine. Your practitioner will advise on timing and any precautions at your initial consultation.
How far is Changes Clinic from Winchester?
Changes Clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. From Winchester, the drive takes approximately 30 to 35 minutes via the M3 and M27. Free parking is available on site, making the trip easy to plan around your session schedule.
