Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a highly effective, long-lasting solution for reducing unwanted hair. Unlike shaving, which requires almost daily up keep, laser treatments target hair at the root, significantly slowing regrowth.
Here are some of the top reasons to choose laser hair removal at our Leicester laser clinic:
Hair removal for all skin tones: Our state-of-the-art laser technology is safe and effective for fair, olive, and darker skin, as well as for fine or coarse hair.
Effective and precise: Our laser hair removal method targets hair follicles while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
Minimal discomfort: Our advanced cooling technology helps to reduce discomfort during treatments.
Suitable for all skin types: We use the Gentle Pro Series, designed to work safely on various skin types and tones.
Long-lasting results: Enjoy smooth skin with reduced hair growth over time.
Avoid ingrown hairs: Unlike shaving, laser hair removal reduces ingrown hairs and irritation, especially in areas like the neck and face, where shaving often causes irritation, itchiness and razor bumps.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses a process called selective photothermolysis, where a laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles. This light energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicle and prevents future hair growth.
At City Laser Salon in Leicester, we use two advanced laser systems to ensure effective treatment for a range of skin types and hair colours:
Alexandrite: This is the fastest of all types of lasers, making it ideal for larger areas of the body. This laser has an ultra-high repetition rate and features a large contact-cooled sapphire tip which stays in continuous contact with the skin to keep it cool and comfortable.
Nd:YAG: This system uses a long-pulse laser, which is safe for use on all skin types, including tanned skin. It penetrates deep into the skin, making it particularly effective for anti-ageing treatments as well as reducing skin pigmentation and treating thread veins.
What To Expect At Your Laser Hair Removal Session
The sensation when you have laser hair removal is often described as a 'snapping' feeling against the skin. Most clients tolerate this treatment well, particularly as we are able to use our Dynamic Cooling Device which cools the skin to reduce sensitivity.
Of course, there are areas on the body that are more sensitive than others. Areas with denser or thicker hair such as on the back or chest may feel more sensitive, as stronger pulses may be needed to effectively remove hair at these sites.
You may experience some redness and irritation at the hair removal site, as well as swollen or raised hair follicles. Most side effects will subside within a few hours and clients are able to return to normal activities immediately after their hair removal session.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Is Laser Hair Removal Suitable For men?
«Yes, Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly popular with men who want to reduce or permanently remove unwanted hair from areas like the back, chest, shoulders, neck, or beard line. At City Laser, we offer hair removal services for men of all ages, hair and skin types.
Where Do Men Usually Get Laser Hair Removal?
«You can have laser hair removal on any part of your body that you’re not comfortable with. Popular treatment areas for men include the back, chest, shoulders, neck, stomach, arms, legs and even the beard line to create a cleaner, more defined look.
Does Laser Hair Removal Work On Coarse Hair?
«Yes, at City Laser we use cutting-edge laser technology, and can remove even the thickest and corset hair easily. In fact, laser is particularly effective on dark, thick hair, which is common for many men. The laser targets the pigment in the hair, so the darker the hair, the better the results.
How Many Sessions Do Men Need For Laser Hair Removal?
«On average, men need between 6 and 12 sessions for optimal results. This will depend on the areas being treated, the thickness of your hair, as well as your hair and skin type. For any areas with regrowth, we recommend you come in for maintenance sessions, although these will become less frequent over time.
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful For Men?
«Laser hair removal is often described as a pinching or snapping feeling against the skin. Areas with denser or thicker hair such as on the back or chest may feel more sensitive, as stronger pulses may be needed at these sites. At City Laser, we use a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) to soothe any discomfort during your session.
Can Laser Hair Removal Help With Ingrown Hairs?
«Yes, laser hair removal is an excellent solution for reducing annoying ingrown hairs, especially in areas like the neck, where shaving often causes irritation, itchiness and razor bumps.
Does Laser Hair Removal Affect Tattoos?
«Yes, unfortunately, laser hair removal cannot be performed directly over tattoos, as it will start to break down the ink particles, resulting in fading over time. If you have tattoos in the treatment area, your practitioner will carefully work around them so as not to damage them.
How Do I Prepare For My Hair Removal Treatment?
«You’ll be asked to shave the area 24 hours before your session. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and certain skincare products (like retinoids) in the hours leading up to your appointment in order to minimise skin irritation.
