Laser Hair Removal FAQs: Everything You Need to Know

If you've been thinking about laser hair removal but aren't quite sure what to expect, you're not alone. It's one of the most searched treatments in Chiswick - and one we get asked about every single day at Wellness Lounge. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick flick - similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. It's brief and very manageable. We use professional-grade equipment that minimises discomfort, and most people are surprised by how easy the treatment is compared to what they expected.

How many sessions will I need?

Hair grows in cycles, and laser only targets hair in the active growth phase. Most clients need 6-8 sessions to achieve a significant, lasting reduction. Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart depending on the area being treated.

Which areas can be treated?

Almost anywhere. The most popular areas at Wellness Lounge are legs, underarms, bikini line, face, and stomach - but we treat virtually any area of the body.

Is it suitable for my skin tone?

Modern laser technology has advanced significantly. We assess each client individually during consultation to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your skin tone and hair type. Book a consultation and we'll advise you honestly.

How should I prepare?

Avoid sun exposure, fake tan, and waxing or threading for at least 4 weeks before your session. Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment. Come with clean skin - no creams, deodorant or perfume on the day.

What results can I expect?

Most clients see a 70-90% permanent reduction in hair growth after a full course of treatment. Remaining hair tends to grow back finer and lighter. Many clients return for a top-up session once or twice a year to maintain results.
