What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a refined, results-led treatment designed to reduce unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicle beneath the skin. If you’ve been searching for laser hair removal in London or laser hair removal near me, it’s often because you want a more effortless routine than shaving or waxing — with smoother skin and fewer ingrown hairs.
Laser works by delivering controlled light energy into the skin to target pigment within the hair. Over a carefully planned course, regrowth typically becomes slower, finer, and less dense, leaving the skin feeling more polished and comfortable day to day. Many clients choose laser hair removal for the face, underarms, legs, and bikini because it can reduce irritation, bumps, and the constant “stubble cycle” that comes with frequent hair removal.
At Radiant Skin House in Finchley, North London, we tailor every plan to your skin tone, hair type, and the area being treated. We use Lumenis Splendor X laser hair removal technology (Alexandrite + Nd:YAG) to support a personalised approach — especially important in London, where skin tones and hair types vary widely.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by directing light energy toward the pigment (melanin) in the hair. That energy is absorbed and converted into heat, which targets the follicle responsible for producing the hair. When performed with the right settings and professional technique, laser can reduce the follicle’s ability to produce new hair over time while keeping the surrounding skin supported.
Because different areas and hair types respond differently, we adjust the treatment approach based on:
- Your skin tone and sensitivity
- Underarm laser hair removal
- Hair thickness and density
- The treatment area (for example, facial laser hair removal vs Hollywood laser hair removal)
- Your comfort level and how your skin responds
How many sessions will I need?
A very common question is “how many sessions for laser hair removal?” The answer depends on your hair growth cycle, the area treated, hair density, and individual factors such as hormones.
Laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in the active growth stage. Because not all hairs are in that stage at the same time, treatments are carried out as a course of sessions, spaced appropriately to catch hairs at the right point in the cycle. This is why one session can improve smoothness, but a course is what creates meaningful long-term reduction.
During a course, many clients notice:
- Hair grows back more slowly
- Regrowth becomes finer and softer
- Skin feels smoother, with fewer ingrown hairs and less irritation

Lumenis Splendor X laser hair removal in London
At Radiant Skin House, we use Lumenis Splendor X — a medical-grade laser hair removal platform chosen for its precision, versatility, and ability to deliver a truly tailored experience. If you’re looking for laser hair removal in London and want a clinic that combines advanced technology with a calm, refined approach, Splendor X allows us to personalise treatments with a level of control that supports both comfort and reliable laser hair removal results.
Splendor X is built around two respected laser wavelengths — Alexandrite and Nd:YAG — giving us the flexibility to adjust treatment based on your skin tone, hair type, and the area being treated. In a diverse city like London, that adaptability is a key part of achieving consistent outcomes while keeping skin supported
A more personalised approach (Alexandrite + Nd:YAG)
Splendor X combines:
- Alexandrite (755nm): often selected for lighter skin tones and pigment-rich hair, known for strong effectiveness and precision
- Nd:YAG (1064nm): penetrates deeper and is commonly used for darker skin tones, helping support a safer approach where the skin contains more natural pigment
This dual-wavelength capability helps us tailor your treatment rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all setting — especially important for areas like the face and bikini, where skin can be more delicate.
Why medical-grade technology matters for comfort and confidence
A luxury laser hair removal experience isn’t about intensity — it’s about control. Medical-grade laser technology gives us the ability to focus energy where it’s needed (the follicle) while keeping the surrounding skin calm and supported.
That means:
- A more refined experience for sensitive areas (such as women’s facial laser hair removal)
- A tailored approach for different skin tones and hair types
- Consistent, professional treatment across small areas (upper lip/chin) and larger areas (legs/back)
- A treatment plan designed to support reliable laser hair removal results over a properly spaced course
Reliable laser hair removal results, beautifully managed over time
Laser hair removal is best described as long-term hair reduction. With a properly spaced course, most clients see regrowth become finer, slower, and less dense, and many move into a simple maintenance rhythm afterwards. Factors like hormones, the area treated, and hair growth patterns can influence outcomes — and we’ll always set expectations clearly.
If you’re searching for the best laser hair removal in London, we believe the difference is in the details: medical-grade technology, tailored settings, and a practitioner-led plan designed around your skin.
Pre & post care for laser hair removal
Quick overview (save this)
- Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment (unless we advise otherwise)
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tan before and after treatment
- Pause waxing, threading, and epilating during your course (shaving is fine)
- Avoid heat and friction on the area for 24–48 hours after
- Use SPF daily on any treated area exposed to daylight
Before your laser hair removal appointment
1) Hair removal:
what to do (and what to avoid)
- Shave the area the day before (around 24 hours prior). This helps the laser target the follicle under the skin while keeping the surface comfortable.
- Do not wax, thread, tweeze, or epilate for at least 4 weeks before treatment (and throughout your course). These remove the hair root, which the laser needs to target.
- If you have facial hair and you’re unsure whether to shave, message us — we’ll guide you based on the area and your skin.
2) Keep skin clean and product-free
- Shave the area the day before (around 24 hours prior). This helps the laser target the follicle under the skin while keeping the surface comfortable.
- Do not wax, thread, tweeze, or epilate for at least 4 weeks before treatment (and throughout your course). These remove the hair root, which the laser needs to target.
- If you have facial hair and you’re unsure whether to shave, message us — we’ll guide you based on the area and your skin.
3) Sun exposure & tanning (very important)
To protect your skin and keep treatment safe:
- Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds before treatment
- Avoid self-tan on the area (and ensure any old self-tan is fully faded)
- If you’ve had significant sun exposure, let us know — we may adjust your appointment timing
4) Skincare actives & treatments to pause
Depending on the area treated, we may ask you to pause certain products before your appointment, such as:
- Retinoids / retinol
- Strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA)
- Benzoyl peroxide
- Peels, microneedling, or other advanced treatments on the same area
If you’re using prescription skincare or have had a recent facial treatment, please check with us in advance.
5) Medications & medical history
Some medications can increase sensitivity. Please tell us if you are:
- Taking antibiotics
- Using photosensitising medication
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Prone to cold sores (for facial treatments)
If you’re unsure, share the medication name and we’ll advise.
After your laser hair removal appointment
1) What’s normal after treatment
It’s common to experience:
- Mild redness or warmth (like light sun exposure)
- Slight swelling around follicles (a normal response)
This typically settles within a few hours to 48 hours depending on the area and your skin.
2) Keep the area cool, calm, and clean
For the first 24–48 hours:
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense workouts
- Avoid tight clothing and friction on the treated area
- Avoid perfumed products, strong actives, and exfoliation on the area
If the skin feels warm, a cool compress can help.
3) Sun protection & SPF
For best results and to protect the skin:
- Apply SPF 30–50 daily on treated areas exposed to daylight
- Avoid direct sun exposure after treatment
4) What not to do between sessions
During your course:
- Do not wax, thread, tweeze, or epilate
- Shaving is fine if needed
- Avoid bleaching the hair in the treatment area
5) When will hair shed?
You may notice treated hairs begin to shed over the following 1–3 weeks. This is normal and part of the process.
How to get the best results from your course
- Keep appointments spaced as advised (timing matters for the hair growth cycle)
- Avoid sun/tan throughout your course
- Follow shaving guidance and avoid hair removal methods that pull the root
- Tell us about any changes in medication, skincare, or health

Does laser hair removal work for PCOS-related facial hair?
Absolutely. Splendor X laser hair removal is effective for reducing unwanted facial hair caused by PCOS. While hormonal hair may require ongoing sessions for optimal results, treatments are safe for all skin types and can significantly minimize regrowth over time.
How should I prepare for my laser hair removal treatment?
For optimal results, shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment and avoid waxing or plucking for several weeks. Stay out of the sun, skip self-tanning products, and come to your session with clean skin. Following these steps helps ensure a smooth, safe, and effective treatment.
What are the side effects of laser hair removal?
Most clients experience little to no side effects after laser hair removal. Mild redness, swelling, or a tingling sensation may appear but typically disappears within hours. Serious side effects are rare, especially when treatments are performed by trained specialists. Proper aftercare supports safe and effective results.
How long does each laser hair removal session take?
Splendor X laser hair removal is exceptionally fast, allowing treatments to be completed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional lasers. Small areas, like the upper lip or chin, take just minutes, while full-face sessions are efficiently completed in less than 15–20 minutes, whilst ensuring safe and effective results for all skin types.
Is laser hair removal permanent?

Can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?
Yes. Splendor X facial laser hair removal reduces hair growth at the root, preventing ingrown hairs and leaving skin smoother and healthier after a full course of treatments.
When can I wear makeup after laser hair removal?
Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours after your laser hair removal treatment. The skin may be sensitive, and waiting helps prevent irritation. After this, normal makeup use is safe, and your skin will continue to benefit from the treatment.
