How laser hair removal works

Laser hair removal uses targeted pulses of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The light converts to heat, which damages the follicle and prevents future growth. With each session, hair grows back finer and lighter until most clients achieve a permanent reduction of up to 90-99%.

For hair removal we offer four technologies: Diode, YAG, BBL and IPL. Our Level 4 VTCT qualified practitioners advise which is most appropriate for your hair type, skin tone and the area being treated.

Skin tightening, rejuvenation and pigmentation are treated with BBL, YAG and IPL — Diode is used for hair removal only. Those treatments are covered on our IPL skin therapy page.

Your first consultation and patch test are free.

Why more than one session is needed

Hair grows in cycles. Laser is only effective during the active growth phase, and not all follicles are in that phase at the same time. A course of six to eight sessions, spaced four to eight weeks apart, catches follicles at the right point in their cycle.

Most clients see significant reduction by session four, with the best results after the full course.

If laser is not the right fit for your hair type or colour, IPL hair removal or Sterex electrolysis are alternatives we can discuss at your consultation.

Very happy with my consultation. I got the answers I was hoping for and I will soon be booking myself in for a quick and easy mole/sun spot removal. I now have a new understanding of what the problem is and what has caused it. Thank you.

I went for an ultrasound scan due the NHS appointment waiting time was a longtime away, the service I recieved from Andrea was excellent, second to none, Andrea explained everything including the results of the scan straight afterwards.

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 :) .

She made me feel completely at ease. Such a down-to-earth lady that you can feel genuinely comfortable with. Her prices are so reasonable and very affordable too. I highly recommend Andrea

Chloe was very well informed and helpful. There was probably too much information to absorb in the time span, and more published literature would be helpful (FAQs, prices, offers, medical considerations etc)

Common questions

Am I a good candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser works best on dark hair against lighter skin, as the contrast allows the laser to target the follicle precisely. Diode laser suits a wider range of skin tones. YAG laser is safe for darker skin. We assess your suitability at consultation and patch test.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe it as a mild snapping sensation. Smaller and more sensitive areas can be more uncomfortable, but the treatment is fast in those areas. We can discuss options to manage discomfort at your consultation.

How many sessions do I need?

Typically six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart for laser hair removal Portsmouth. This varies by area and hair type. After your full course, occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes. Shaving is fine between sessions. You should avoid waxing, threading or plucking, as these remove the follicle that the laser needs to target.

Is there any downtime?

No. The skin may appear slightly red immediately after treatment, but this usually settles within a few hours. You can return to normal activities the same day.

What is the difference between Diode and YAG laser?

Diode laser is effective across a broad range of skin and hair types. YAG laser penetrates deeper and is the safer option for darker skin tones. We recommend the right technology for you based on your assessment.
