Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a highly effective, long-lasting solution for reducing unwanted hair. Unlike shaving or waxing, which require constant upkeep, laser treatments target hair at the root, significantly slowing regrowth.
Here are some of the top reasons to opt for laser hair removal:
Effective and precise: Laser targets hair follicles directly, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Suitable for all skin types: We use cutting-edge Gentle Pro Series technology, designed to work safely on various skin tones.
Minimal discomfort: We also use an advanced Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) to enhance comfort during treatments.
Avoid ingrown hairs: Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair removal reduces ingrown hairs and irritation.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
At City Laser & Skin Clinic in Leicester, we use the cutting-edge 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 industry-leading 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.
The Candela Gentle Max Pro also features an advanced Dynamic Cooling Device, which sprays a cooling mist onto the skin before each laser pulse, significantly reducing discomfort and enhancing treatment safety. With this superior laser hair technology we can minimise discomfort, maximise results, and help you on your way to smooth, hair-free skin.

Laser Hair Removal: What To Expect
At City Laser & Skin Clinic, your safety and comfort is our number one priority. Our laser hair removal process includes the following steps:
- Consultation: Before your first session, we will set up a complimentary consultation to assess your skin and hair type, check your medical history, and chat about your needs, expectations and likely results.
- Laser Patch Test: At your consultation we will carry out a quick laser patch test to check your suitability for treatment. This costs £20 but that amount is redeemable against your first treatment.
- Your Laser Treatment: During each session, a controlled laser beam will be used to target hair follicles, gradually reducing hair growth over multiple sessions. We will use our cooling system to keep any discomfort to a minimum.
- Post-treatment care: Our laser experts will provide detailed and personalised aftercare guidance.
- Follow-up appointments: A series of treatments will ensure the best outcome, with each session spaced according to your hair growth cycle. This varies from person to person. Clients usually need between 6 and 12 sessions for effective hair removal.
The Best Laser Hair Removal With Candela Gentle Max Pro
Safe & Comfortable: One of the standout features of the Candela Gentle Max Pro is its built-in cooling system that releases targeted bursts of cooling cryogen milliseconds before and after each laser pulse. This offers twice the protection compared to other cooling methods for a comfortable experience.
Suitable For All Skin Tones: The Candela Gentle Max Pro also uses two highly effective laser wavelengths to safely treat all skin tones. The Alexandrite laser is best suited for lighter skin with dark hair) It selectively targets the melanin in hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin. The Nd:YAG laser is designed for darker skin tones. It has a longer wavelength that bypasses the skin’s surface, directly targeting the hair follicle. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals with Asian, Indian, and African skin tones, who often have thicker, coarser hair that requires deeper penetration.
Faster Treatment Times: One of the biggest advantages of the Candela Gentle Max Pro is its range of spot sizes, from 1.5mm up to 26mm. This means small areas like the upper lip, brows, and chin can be treated with precision, and larger areas like the legs, back, and arms can be treated in record time. For example, laser hair removal on a male full back using an 18mm spot size will take around 29 minutes compared to just 19 minutes with the 26mm spot size.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Is Laser Hair Removal Suitable For Me?
«Before your first hair removal session, you’ll be invited for a free consultation with one of our qualified practitioners. During this appointment, we’ll require you to fill in a form telling us about your medical history. This will help us to ascertain whether laser is suitable for you, as well as how we can tailor the treatment to your needs.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
«Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target and heat the pigment in hair follicles, damaging them and preventing future growth. At City Laser, we use state-of-the-art Gentle Pro Series technology, a high-performance laser system that’s effective on all skin types. Multiple sessions are required to target hairs in their growth phase. The result is long-term hair reduction, with occasional touch-ups needed.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
«Some patients may experience mild discomfort during laser treatment, often described as a quick pinching or snapping sensation against the skin. However, this sensation is temporary and subsides almost immediately after the laser pulse is removed from contact with the skin. To enhance comfort, we use the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) to cool and soothe the skin throughout the procedure.
Does Laser Permanently Remove Hair?
«After undergoing a series of treatments, most of our clients experience a significant and long-lasting reduction in overall hair regrowth. The hair that does grow back is usually lighter and finer. For any remaining hair growth after the initial treatment series, we recommend touch up sessions at City Laser. These are likely to become less frequent over time.
What Are The Side Effects Of Laser Hair Removal?
«Laser hair removal at City Laser is a gentle and safe procedure using cutting edge laser technology, with serious side effects being extremely rare. Temporary reactions to your treatment may include skin redness and swelling that fades within a few days. Temporary pigmentation changes may occur, but these usually resolve on their own. Blistering, though uncommon, may occur if aftercare instructions are not followed properly.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?
«The number of hair removal sessions you need will depend on a variety of factors including the thickness of your hair and the condition of your skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are usually needed for all clients. For the face area, you will be required to come in once every 4 weeks, and for the body, every 6 weeks. Generally 6 to 12 sessions are required in each growth cycle for the most effective results.
How Can I Prepare for My Hair Removal Treatment?
«To prepare for your hair removal treatment, you should avoid waxing, plucking or electrolysis for about 6 weeks before your sessions begin. Shave the treatment area the day before your session and keep your skin clean by removing any makeup, creams, oils and self-tanning products on the day. Limit sun exposure before and after your treatment to prevent skin sensitivity.
What Can I Expect After My Laser Treatment?
«You may experience some redness and swelling after your treatment, but this will usually subside within a few hours. Applying a cool compress or a soothing gel can help to relieve discomfort. For best results, follow all aftercare instructions provided by your hair removal technician at City Laser.
