How does Laser Hair Removal work?
At our Skin Clinic in Chester, we offer advanced laser hair removal services using cutting-edge technology. In laser hair removal, a concentrated beam of light targets the hair, and the pigment within absorbs the light, damaging the follicle enough to inhibit future growth. As new hair growth cycles begin, additional treatments are necessary to remove these new hairs, ultimately leading to eventual hairlessness.

Learn about Laser Hair Removal at Blend Skin Clinic, Chester
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is the most effective hair removal method available, suitable for both men and women and all skin tones. It can be used on almost any area of the body, including sensitive areas like the face and bikini line. Unlike waxing, depilatory creams, or shaving, laser hair removal provides long-lasting results without the irritation or ingrown hairs often associated with other methods. Over time, the hair becomes finer, softer, and less visible, while growth slows down further with each treatment. At Blend Skin and Aesthetic Clinic in Chester, clients can achieve smooth, hair-free skin with professional laser hair removal services tailored to their needs.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
At Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic in Chester, we utilise advanced laser technology to provide effective hair removal treatments tailored to your individual needs. Here's how the process works:
1. High-Energy Laser Beams: A laser emits a high-energy beam of light that penetrates the skin and targets specific areas of the body. These laser beams vary in strength and can be customised to target different types of tissue.
2. Targeting Hair Follicles: In hair removal treatments, the laser targets the pigment contained within the hair shaft, as well as the hair follicle or root. This targeting is achieved through a single specific wavelength (or colour) of light generated by the laser.
3. Damage to Hair Follicles: The energy from the laser heats up the base of the hair follicle, causing damage to the cells responsible for hair growth. With sufficient damage, the hair follicle is unable to produce new hair, leading to a reduction in hair growth over time.
4. Optimal Treatment Phase: The effectiveness of laser hair removal is most pronounced during the anagen or 'active' phase of hair growth. During this phase, the hair follicle is actively producing new hairs, making it more susceptible to damage from the light treatment.
5. Genetic Variation and Treatment Response: The duration of the anagen phase varies among individuals, based on genetic factors and ethnic background. Additionally, different areas of the body may have varying responses to treatment.
By targeting the hair follicles during the active growth phase and delivering precise laser energy, our treatments effectively reduce unwanted hair growth while minimising damage to surrounding skin tissue. At Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic, our experienced practitioners ensure a safe and personalised hair removal experience for each client.

What does Laser Hair Removal feel like?
Laser hair removal is often described as feeling like a mild pinching sensation or a rubber band snapping against the skin. The discomfort is usually minimal and can vary depending on the sensitivity of the area being treated.
At Blend Skin and Aesthetics Cheshire, clients receiving laser hair removal in Chester can expect a professional experience with careful attention to minimising discomfort while achieving effective results.
What are the risks of having Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is one of the safest and most effective methods for removing unwanted body and facial hair. Side effects are typically minimal, with most people experiencing mild and temporary redness or sensitivity after treatment. These effects usually subside within a couple of days. For those seeking expert care, Blend Skin and Aesthetics Chester offers laser hair removal Chester treatments, providing a reliable solution for smooth, long-lasting results.
How soon will I see the results?
Most people start to see the results of laser hair removal treatments within the first few weeks after their initial appointment. As the hair begins to fall out, you may notice some regrowth, but it will usually grow back more slowly than before. These early results are just the beginning.
The effects of laser hair removal continue to improve over time, with each treatment yielding better results until you reach your final outcome. For most, this occurs about four weeks after the last appointment. Final results typically include significantly reduced hair growth in both density and thickness. At Blend Skin and Aesthetics, clients receiving laser hair removal in Chester can expect gradual, long-lasting results with expert care.
How long does Laser Hair Removal last?
Laser hair removal offers impressive results, with clients seeing up to a 90% reduction in hair growth. Any hair that does grow back tends to be finer, lighter, and grows at a much slower rate. Additionally, you'll enjoy smoother skin, with a dramatically reduced risk of ingrown hairs, and you'll no longer have to deal with the stubble, rashes, or irritation that come with frequent shaving or waxing.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Dermatology showed that after just 4 treatments, 95% of patients rated their improvement as considerable or moderate. This high level of satisfaction often encourages clients to explore treatment on other areas.
While individual results may vary, studies suggest that this level of hair reduction can last several years or longer. Clients with darker hair typically see the best results, as the laser targets pigment, while those with blonde, grey, red, or white hair may not experience the same level of success. Hormonal factors can also affect hair growth, meaning that top-up treatments may be needed to maintain long-lasting results.
At Blend Skin and Aesthetics Chester, clients undergoing laser hair removal in Chester can achieve permanent hair reduction with the right number of sessions, potentially eliminating the need to shave or wax again.
Who can have Laser Hair Removal?
At Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic in Chester, we prioritise the safety and well-being of our clients above all else. Before undergoing laser hair removal treatment, it's essential to assess whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Various factors, including the type of machine used by the clinic, as well as your skin and hair colour, can determine your suitability for laser hair removal.
Here are some key considerations:
1. Hair Colour and Skin Type: Certain hair and skin types may respond differently to laser hair removal treatment. Individuals with ginger hair may experience poor results, while blonde or white hairs may hardly respond at all. Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Far Eastern skin types and darker skin tones may require careful treatment due to variations in pigmentation.
2. Medical History: Individuals with a history of sensitivity to light-based treatments or those with an active infection at the treatment site may not be suitable candidates for laser hair removal. Patients who have used the drug isotretinoin in the last year or are currently pregnant should also avoid undergoing the procedure.
3. Photosensitivity: Certain medications can increase photosensitivity, heightening the risk of adverse reactions to laser treatment. It's essential to provide your medical practitioner with a comprehensive medical history to ensure your safety during the procedure.
4. Photosensitive Epilepsy: Individuals with photosensitive epilepsy may be at risk of experiencing seizures triggered by exposure to bright lights. While laser hair removal is generally safe for non-photosensitive epilepsy patients, precautions should be taken for those with photosensitive epilepsy, such as using blackout goggles to shield the eyes from flashes of light.
By carefully evaluating these factors and conducting a thorough assessment of your medical history, our experienced practitioners at Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic can determine whether laser hair removal is suitable for you. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. Contact us today for personalised advice and guidance on laser hair removal treatments tailored to your individual needs.
How long does Laser Hair Removal take?
For Laser Hair Removal at Blend Skin and Aesthetics Clinic in Chester the duration of each session can range from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Treatments are repeated at 4-6 week intervals to target newly active hair follicles.
​
Is there any downtime for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal does not generally require any downtime, most people immediately go back to their everyday activities.
What should you not do after Laser Hair Removal?
At Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic in Chester, your safety and well-being are our top priorities, especially following light treatment for hair removal. To ensure the best possible outcome and minimise the risk of complications, it's crucial to follow your practitioner's advice carefully.
Here are some essential post-treatment recommendations:
1. Apply Antiseptic Cream: After your hair removal treatment, your practitioner may advise applying an antiseptic cream to the treated area. This helps to prevent infection and soothe any minor discomfort or irritation.
2. Sun Protection: It's important to protect your skin from sun exposure after undergoing light treatment. Your practitioner may recommend applying a high-factor sunblock to the treated area to prevent sunburn and minimise the risk of hyperpigmentation or other skin damage.
3. Monitor for Signs of Complications: Keep an eye on the treated area for any signs of potential complications, such as blistering, infection, persistent pain, or changes in skin pigmentation. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your practitioner immediately for further guidance and support.
By following these post-treatment recommendations diligently, you can help ensure a smooth recovery process and optimise the results of your hair removal treatment. At Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic, we're committed to providing comprehensive care and support at every step of your journey to healthier, more beautiful skin. Reach out to us with any questions or concerns, and our experienced team will be happy to assist you.
Is Laser Hair Removal safe?
Laser hair removal is widely regarded as the safest and most effective method for removing unwanted body and facial hair. Side effects are typically minimal, mild, and temporary, with most people experiencing only some redness and sensitivity after treatment, which usually subsides within a couple of days.
​
Some possible side effects after laser hair removal include:
-
Redness or skin irritation: Since the laser works by targeting and damaging the hair follicles, it’s common to experience slight redness, tingling, or irritation. This often subsides within a few hours.
-
Crusting: Some individuals may notice minor crusting in the treated area, which can be quickly resolved by using moisturisers to prevent any scabbing that might lead to scarring.
-
Changes in skin colour: Hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening) may occur, but these changes are temporary and should fade over time.
While these side effects are generally minor and temporary, it’s essential to consult a dermatologist if any symptoms persist. There is a small risk of infection, so if you notice any signs of infection, contact a dermatologist or your GP immediately.
For sensitive areas such as the face, you may be concerned about the potential side effects of laser hair removal. There is a risk of eye injury when working near the eyes, so it’s crucial to wear protective eyewear during the procedure. Otherwise, laser hair removal is safe for the face and other sensitive areas, with only minor risks similar to other body areas.
Severe side effects are rare, and the likelihood increases if the treatment is not performed by a trained professional. These rare side effects may include excessive hair growth in the treated area, changes in skin texture, scarring, or blisters. At Blend Skin and Aesthetics Chester, where laser hair removal is administered by certified experts, we ensure your safety and can discuss any concerns during your consultation to provide peace of mind throughout your treatment.
How often should I have Laser Hair Removal?
Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results due to the natural growth cycle of hair follicles. These sessions are spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart. At Blend Skin and Aesthetics Clinic in Chester we recommend a course of 8 sessions of Laser Hair Removal.
Who should you trust to do your Laser Hair Removal?
At Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic in Chester, we prioritise safety and quality in all our procedures, including laser hair removal. It's important to understand who can administer these treatments and the regulatory standards in place to ensure your well-being.
​
Here are some key points to consider:
1. Qualified Practitioners: Laser systems used for hair removal should be operated by trained professionals, including doctors, surgeons, or nurses. Some manufacturers have developed machines that are safe for use by trained beauticians or aestheticians. However, it's crucial to verify that a properly qualified practitioner is performing your treatment to ensure optimal results and minimise risks.
2. Regulatory Standards: In England, clinics offering laser and light treatments for cosmetic purposes, such as hair removal, are no longer required to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) since October 1st, 2010. While regulations may vary in other countries, it's essential to choose a clinic that adheres to high standards of safety and quality.
3. Local Regulations: While CQC registration may not be mandatory for laser hair removal clinics in England, some regions may still regulate these establishments under local council health and safety regulations. These regulations aim to ensure the safe operation and maintenance of laser and light-based machines, protecting the well-being of clients.
4. Comprehensive Services: Many clinics offering laser hair removal also provide other light-based treatments that require CQC registration. By choosing a clinic that offers a range of services, you can benefit from comprehensive care and expertise in various cosmetic procedures.
At Blend Skin and Medical Aesthetics Clinic, we adhere to rigorous standards of safety and professionalism. Our qualified practitioners have the expertise and experience to deliver effective laser and IPL hair removal treatments while prioritising your safety and satisfaction.
