How it works

Permanent hair reduction — the science

Laser hair removal uses a principle called selective photothermolysis — laser energy is tuned to a wavelength absorbed by melanin (the pigment in hair). The light energy heats and destroys the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

Because laser only targets actively growing (anagen phase) hairs — which represent around 20–30% of hairs at any given time — a course of 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–8 weeks apart, is needed to catch all follicles during their growth phase.

Most clients achieve significant long-term reduction after a full course. Unlike waxing, shaving or threading, most clients experience significantly fewer ingrown hairs and no longer need a regular shaving or waxing schedule.

At Radiant Skin House, all laser sessions are performed by trained practitioners using medical-grade equipment — calibrated precisely for your skin tone and hair type at your free consultation and patch test.

Suitability

Is laser hair removal right for you?

Laser works by targeting melanin — the pigment in your hair. The contrast between hair colour and skin tone determines how effective treatment will be. We assess every client individually at consultation and patch test before recommending a course.

Fitzpatrick skin types — all six types can be treated

With the right laser technology and settings, all Fitzpatrick skin types can be treated safely. Darker skin types (IV–VI) require specialist Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength lasers to bypass surface melanin — we assess every client individually and configure settings accordingly.

1. Very fair, always burns, never tans
2. Fair, usually burns, sometimes tans
3. Medium, sometimes burns, always tans
4. Olive, rarely burns, always tans
5. Brown, very rarely burns, tans easily
6. Deep brown / black, never burns

Note on hormonal hair growth

Conditions such as PCOS can cause persistent hair stimulation, meaning more sessions may be required than average. We advise honestly on realistic expectations at consultation — see our dedicated PCOS section below.

Our technology

Your journey

What to expect — your results journey

Results improve progressively throughout your course. Here is what most clients experience at each stage.

Sessions 1–2

20–30%

Initial shedding begins

Hair begins shedding 1–3 weeks after each session as treated follicles release the damaged hair. You will notice 20–30% reduction in treated areas. Skin feels noticeably smoother even between sessions.

Sessions 3–4

50–60%

Significant visible change

50–60% reduction is typical. Regrowth is noticeably finer, slower and sparser. Many clients reduce their shaving frequency significantly. The difference between treated and untreated areas is now clearly visible

Sessions 5–6

70–85%

Near-complete clearance

70–85% reduction. Most clients reach the point of rarely needing to shave. Results are clearly visible and the transformation is striking. Many clients consider the course effectively complete at this stage.

Ongoing maintenance

Long-term

Long-term permanent reduction

Significant long-term reduction. Occasional top-up sessions may be needed for hormonally driven areas such as the chin, upper lip and bikini line.

Individual results vary. Session timing, hair type and the treatment area all influence progression. Your practitioner will track your results and adjust settings as your course advances.

Long-term value

Why laser is the smarter long-term choice

When you calculate the true cost of waxing, threading and shaving over a decade — in money, time and discomfort — a laser course is not just more effective, it is significantly more economical.

Expensive long-term

Waxing

£4,800–7,200 lifetime

£40–60 per session × 12 sessions per year × 10 years. Requires hair to grow out between sessions, causes ingrown hairs and discomfort.

No lasting result

Shaving

Time-consuming, recurring

Weekly time commitment. Causes razor bumps, ingrown hairs and stubble regrowth within 24 hours. Zero permanent benefit.

Limited effectiveness

IPL home devices

£200–500 device cost

Less powerful than clinic-grade laser. Not suitable for all skin and hair types. Results are slow and inconsistent. Requires indefinite ongoing use.

Limited effectiveness

Threading / epilating

Ongoing, painful

Painful and entirely temporary. Frequently causes ingrown hairs. No permanent reduction — hair returns at the same density and speed.

One course, permanent result

Laser at Radiant Skin House

Underarm course: 6 sessions £180

One course of 6 sessions. Significant long-term reduction. Reduced ingrown hairs. No ongoing shaving or waxing for most clients.

The real calculation

Underarms cost £50 per single session. A prepaid course of 6 saves 40%, bringing the total to £180 (£30 per session). Maintenance treatments may be needed.

Ingrown hair

Recurring ingrown hairs

Laser targets the hair follicle directly — addressing the root cause of recurring ingrown hairs rather than managing each one. Particularly useful for the bikini line, beard area, and underarms.

PCOS & hormonal hair

PCOS and hormonal hair growth

Laser can significantly reduce PCOS-related hair growth, though hormonal conditions typically require more sessions and occasional maintenance. We give PCOS clients a transparent, honest assessment at consultation.

Pricing

What our clients say.

I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough for laser hair removal. From the initial consultation through to my latest session, the entire experience has been exceptional. The clinic itself is immaculate, welcoming, and equipped with modern technology that makes appointments quick and surprisingly comfortable. Natalie was brilliant throughout, taking the time to explain the process clearly, checking on my comfort during every stage, and offering practical aftercare advice. I noticed a visible reduction in regrowth after just a couple of sessions, and the results have exceeded my expectations. If you are considering laser treatment, this is definitely the place to go.

Diablo Van

I can’t recommend Radiant Skin House enough! The salon is beautiful, calm and spotlessly clean. Natalie — she is simply wonderful 💛 She really listened, gave me such expert care, and made me feel so welcome. My skin has never looked or felt better — brighter, smoother and truly radiant! If you want real results and a lovely experience, Natalie is the person to see. I’ll definitely be returning!

Ewa Assaker

I LOVE Radiant Skin House - the service is amazing and the treatments excellent !!! Thank you !!

Anne Golden

Lipoform review Having become a client of Radiant Skin House for manicures a few months back I found myself discussing the beauty treatments they offer with Natalie… As a mid 60’s lady who was concerned about jowls and ‘turkey’ neck I was trying to find what non surgical and non invasive options were available. I try to look after my skin using natural and organic products but, sadly, these cannot prevent all the effects of aging. And so Natalie told me about the Lipoform treatment - it combines radio frequency and electro-stimulation - the idea being to tighten loose and saggy skin, drain blocked lymphatic areas, stimulate collagen and hopefully tone and sculpt the area. Circumstances dictated that I could only book a course of 3 treatments - each one approximately an hour long, over a period of 4 weeks. The treatment itself was mildly uncomfortable, the radio frequency aspect is absolutely fine, its just a mild tingling, but the heat aspect was a little worse - however it was resolved by Natalie changing areas a little more frequently. My skin was a bit red afterwards but this settled down within a few hours. In truth there was a noticeable change after just one treatment - not so much visible in the mirror so much as I could feel my skin was tighter. This continued through the following 2 sessions and now 3 weeks after the last treatment I can definitely feel and see the difference. My skin is much tighter around my neck, my jowls are reduced and my face is less puffy. The ‘turkey’ neck is less pronounced and saggy, but will definitely benefit from further sessions which I am planning to do in a couple of months time. For those unwilling, like me, to undergo surgery (or not financially able) I think that Lipoform is a great solution and would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Benita Marks

I had a skin peel at Radiant Skin House with Natalie, and I was very impressed with the treatment. Natalie carried out the peel to a very high standard and provided excellent expert advice throughout. The service was professional, friendly and attentive. I’m very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend Radiant Skin House.

Ha kat

As always my experience at Radiant Skin House was excellent. The service is very good and the staff very professional.

Rosa Tormo

Natalie is incredibly knowledgeable. She recommended peels that have really benefitted and changed my skin for for the better. I had a Hifu treatment too and saw great improvement to my neck and jawline. I highly recommend radiant skin house!

zoe Dalal

I had full body laser hair removal and stretch mark repair done over multiple sessions. Natalie was always polite and conscientious with advice for preparation and aftercare. I am very happy with the results. My skin is smooth and stretch marks reduced and firmer overall.

Kim C

FAQ

Laser hair removal — frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first session in Finchley.

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the area, hair colour, skin type and hair growth cycle. We will advise at consultation.

How much does laser hair removal cost in Finchley?

Single-session prices start at £10 for the centre of brow. Underarms, upper lip and chin are £50 each. All bikini options, including Brazilian and Hollywood, are £100 each. Half legs including knees are £150; full legs are £200; full arms are £150. Courses of 3 sessions save 20%; courses of 6 sessions save 40%. Exact pricing is confirmed at your free consultation.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe a quick flick or snap sensation. Modern lasers are much more comfortable than older technology. Sensitive areas may feel slightly more intense — we take care of your comfort throughout.

Is it permanent?

Laser achieves long-lasting reduction — most clients see significant long-term reduction after a full course. Occasional maintenance sessions every 1–2 years may be needed as hormonal changes can trigger new growth.

Does it work on all skin types?

Modern laser systems treat a wide range of skin types. A patch test and consultation are carried out before your first session to confirm the right settings for safe, effective treatment.

What should I do before a session?

Shave the treatment area 24 hours before — do not wax, thread or use hair removal cream. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks before. Arrive with clean, product-free skin.

Can laser treat blonde or grey hair?

Laser targets pigment (melanin) in the hair. Very light blonde, white or grey hair contains insufficient pigment to respond. We will assess your hair at consultation and advise honestly on expected outcomes.

When will I see results?

Hair sheds gradually over 2–3 weeks after each session as treated follicles release damaged hair. You will notice progressive reduction after each session, with significant long-term reduction visible after a full course.

Does laser hair removal work on dark or brown skin?

Yes. Modern Nd:YAG (1064nm) lasers are specifically designed for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick Types IV–VI). The longer wavelength bypasses the skin’s surface melanin and targets the follicle safely. We assess every client individually at consultation and patch test.

Is laser hair removal suitable for men?

Absolutely. Laser is increasingly popular with men for back, chest, shoulders, and beard shaping. Treatment is the same as for women — a consultation, patch test, and then a course of 6–8 sessions. Male facial hair typically needs more sessions due to its density.

I have PCOS — will laser work for me?

Laser can significantly reduce PCOS-related hair growth. Because PCOS involves ongoing hormonal stimulation, you may need more sessions than average and occasional maintenance sessions long-term. We advise on realistic expectations honestly at every consultation.

Can laser hair removal eliminate ingrown hairs?

Yes — this is one of the most valued benefits. By destroying the hair follicle permanently, laser eliminates the root cause of ingrown hairs entirely. Clients who previously suffered chronic ingrown hairs in the bikini line or beard area often see complete resolution after a full course.

What is the difference between laser and IPL?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses a broad spectrum of light and is less precise than laser. Medical-grade laser uses a single, calibrated wavelength specifically tuned to melanin in the hair — delivering more consistent, powerful results. Laser is the clinical gold standard; IPL is typically used in lower-cost, less effective devices.

How long do laser hair removal results last?

Most clients achieve significant long-term reduction. Some hair may return over several years, particularly in hormonally driven areas. Occasional maintenance sessions every 1–2 years maintain the result long-term. The vast majority of clients consider their course a permanent solution.
