How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost? - City Laser & Skin Clinic in Leicester explains all

Affordable Laser Hair Removal Treatments in Leicester at City Laser & Skin Clinic

If you’re considering laser hair removal, one of the first questions you’ll ask is how much does it cost? The honest answer is that pricing can vary depending on several factors, which is why at City Laser & Skin Clinic in Leicester, we always recommend starting with a professional consultation.

Laser hair removal isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. The total cost depends on:

Treatment area – Smaller areas like the upper lip cost less than larger areas such as legs or back
Number of sessions required – Most clients need a course of 6-8 sessions for optimal results
Hair thickness and colour – Dark, coarse hair typically responds faster but our laser hair removal is designed for different skin tones and hair types
Skin type – Different skin tones will require tailored laser settings and approaches - we can cater to all skin tones.

Because of these variables, it’s difficult to give an accurate quote without assessing your individual needs first. That's why a consultation is so important. A thorough consultation is one of the most important steps in your laser hair removal journey. At City Laser & Skin Clinic, we take the time to assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals and expectations, carry out a patch test for safety, and create a personalised treatment plan.

This allows us to give you a precise and transparent quote, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises. Book a consultation online or call us on 0116 242 5299. Your consultation is free. The laser patch test costs £20 which is redeemable against your first session.

Are There Ways to Save on Laser Hair Removal?

Yes - this is where our laser hair removal packages come in. While single sessions are available, we offer discounted laser hair removal packages that make treatment much more cost-effective over time.

Packages are ideal because:

You’ll need multiple sessions anyway
You benefit from reduced pricing compared to pay-as-you-go
It helps you stay consistent with your treatments

You can explore our latest offers and bundle deals here. Our packages are ideal for male, female and transgender clients and focus on some of the most commonly asked for hair removal services such as 'unlimited face and neck laser hair removal' and 'half legs and 'half arms laser hair treatments' and 'Hollywood / Brazilian, Navel & Perianal hair removal by laser'.

Although laser hair removal can seem like an investment upfront, it saves you money in the long-term. Think about the ongoing cost of waxing, shaving products, and salon visits, not to mention the time and inconvenience - and then compare that to permanent laser hair removal!

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Typically, most clients require 6-8 sessions which are spaced 4-6 weeks apart. But this can vary from person to person so please book a consultation so we can assess your suitability and give you a laser patch test. Your consultation is free. The laser patch test costs £20 which is redeemable against your first session.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most clients describe it as a mild snapping sensation. Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others as well but we do everything we can to keep any discomfort to a minimum.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Most people see up to 90% decrease in hair density so we prefer to call this long-term hair reduction. Hair that does return is usually lighter, finer, and less noticeable - but you can always book a maintenance laser treatment to try and eliminate these finer hairs.

Does laser hair removal work on dark skin?

Yes - we can offer effective laser hair removal for all skin types. City Laser & Skin Clinic in Leicester uses the Candela Gentle Max Pro laser system to deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting hair reduction for all skin types. This state-of-the-art technology combines two laser wavelengths to ensure optimal results:

Alexandrite Laser (755nm) – The fastest and most effective laser for lighter skin tones, ideal for treating larger areas quickly. Its high repetition rate and advanced cooling system ensure a comfortable experience while effectively targeting hair follicles.

Nd:YAG Laser (1064nm) – Designed for darker skin tones, this laser penetrates deeper into the skin to safely and effectively remove hair without damaging surrounding tissue. It’s also highly effective in treating pigmentation, thread veins, and skin rejuvenation concerns.

Is there any downtime after laser treatments?

No, you can return to normal activities immediately. Some people may experience some sensivity for a few hours afterwards. Check out our 'Laser Hair Removal At A Glance Facts' here.

Can I shave between laser hair removal sessions?

Yes, shaving is recommended but please avoid waxing or plucking.

Is laser hair removal safe?

We use the Candela GentleMax Pro laser hair removal system which is a medical-grade, FDA-approved laser system for hair removal and skin treatments. It is widely considered as safe and highly effective.

What areas can be treated?

We can removal hair from virtually all areas of the body. Popular areas for laser hair removal include the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini, back, stomach and intimate body areas.

How quickly will I see hair reduction?

Most people notice a 10-25% reduction in hair growth after the first couple of sessions. A full, lasting outcome usually requires a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, particularly for areas where you have denser hair.

Do you offer laser hair removal for transgender clients?

Yes, we love welcoming transgender clients into our Leicester clinic and can recommend our laser hair removal as a safe and effective way to treat unwanted hair. Please book a consultation so we can chat about your needs and come up with a plan to help.
