We use a Motus AY by DEKA, which utilises both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers.

The Motus AY is UK medical grade and FDA approved. It's also the only laser which uses a true alexandrite rather than a diode, meaning we can get superior results to the lasers used by other clinics.

We have a wide range of lasers, including a pain free option. 

Most people do not find laser hair removal painful and compare it to being flicked with a rubber band. Everyone agrees that it's less painful than waxing and far less painful than electrolysis. The actual sensation is felt as the bright light is transformed into heat inside the hair follicles.

In order to provide extra comfort we have a zero pain laser for those with a lower pain threshold as well as a skin cooling machine to numb the skin.

Results depend on your hair colour, skin colour, adherence to a 4-6 week treatment schedule and non-controllable age and hormonal factors. Our most responsive clients can see maximum hair loss in just 1-2 sessions, but those with complex hormonal factors or very light hair may require 10 or more sessions. As a rule and to avoid disappointment we usually recommend 6-10 treatments depending on your hair type and response to treatment.

During your free consultation and patch test we will give you our best estimate. If you have had previous treatments with other providers, don't give up hope; we've had excellent results with patients who have previously been non-responsive to weaker lasers.

Laser / IPL machines fire a bright light, which is absorbed by the hair pigment, melanin, in the hair shaft, where it turns into heat, which in turn damages the follicle and surrounding structures that can cause regrowth. As it's the melanin that absorbs the light energy, white and vellus hairs (those very fine hairs) are not affected and so cannot be treated.

In order for the damage to the follicle to be permanent, we have to perform the treatment at a specific part of the hair follicle lifecycle; when the hair is still growing and attached.

All our laser therapists are trained to L4 in Laser and Light Based Therapies. Male and Female therapists are available on request.

Head therapist and co-owner, Joshua Burniston, is an experienced Aesthetic Therapist, across several treatments. He is trained to Level 4 (VTCT) in Laser and Light Based Therapies as well as holding independent L4 Laser Core of Knowledge and Advanced Application Training for Lynton Lumina and DEKA devices. Many other laser therapists do not have training, so you're in good hands.

Joshua also has industry leading aesthetic therapy qualifications in Microneedling, Chemical Peels & Blemish Removal (CIBTAC L4 LCBT).
