There are many methods of hair removal on the market today — waxing, shaving, creams, IPL, electrolysis, and laser hair removal — all claiming to be the best solution. But which is the most effective and long-lasting?
Permanent Hair Reduction with Laser Hair Removal
No method of hair removal is completely permanent. Hormones, genetics, and different skin and hair types all affect how hair grows. Some clients may need occasional top-ups, while others may never need to shave again.
At La Rose Clinic, we never claim “permanent hair removal” — instead, we focus on permanent hair reduction. With a full course of treatments, you can expect to reduce unwanted body and facial hair by up to 90%, with regrowth becoming finer, softer, and much slower over time.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal is the most effective way to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body. It works through a process called photothermolysis:
-
A precise wavelength of light is directed into the hair follicle.
-
The light converts to heat, damaging or destroying the bulb.
-
Because the light is highly targeted, it affects the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
For best results, hair must be treated in the anagen (growth) phase of the cycle. As not all hairs grow in the same phase at once, we recommend a minimum of 8 sessions for long-lasting reduction.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
✔ Permanent hair reduction – Up to 90% reduction with a full course of treatments. Any regrowth will be softer, finer, and much less frequent.
✔ No more ingrown hairs – Laser prevents the irritation, rashes, and stubble associated with shaving and waxing.
✔ Saves money and time – The average woman spends £6,500 on razors and 8 weeks of her life shaving. Laser is a smart, long-term investment.
✔ Improves skin tone and texture – Regular shaving or waxing can cause pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Laser reduces this risk, leaving skin smoother and clearer.
✔ Better for the planet – The average woman throws away 2,400 razors in her lifetime. Every year, around 2 billion razors end up in landfill. By switching to laser hair removal, you significantly reduce waste and your environmental impact.
