Laser Hair Removal

Hair grows in cycles, and laser only works during the active growth phase. Because not all follicles are active at once, treatment must be carried out over a course of sessions. 

Treated follicles are permanently disabled, which leads to a significant and long-lasting reduction in hair growth; however, because laser cannot affect follicles that were dormant at the time of treatment and biological factors like hormones can influence new growth over time, occasional maintenance sessions may be needed every few years.

No. Laser targets pigment (melanin), so it is not effective on grey, white, or very light blonde hair. 

Yes. When performed with medical-grade equipment by trained professionals, laser hair removal is a safe and well-established treatment. The light used is non-ionising, meaning it does not damage DNA and does not increase cancer risk. At Clinic Visjeune, every client receives a patch test and a full suitability assessment before treatment. 

When appropriate settings are used for your skin type, laser hair removal does not damage healthy skin. The laser targets pigment in the hair follicle, not the surrounding tissue. Mild, temporary reactions such as redness or warmth can occur, but these usually settle quickly. Patch testing and personalised settings are used to minimise any risk. 

Most effects are mild and temporary, such as redness, warmth, or slight swelling. 

Yes, with care. Avoid sun exposure before treatment where possible, use high-factor SPF, and let us know about recent sun exposure so settings can be adjusted. 

Yes—shaving is recommended. Avoid waxing, plucking, threading, or depilatory creams, as these remove the hairs needed for the laser to work.

Shave 24–48 hours before treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning, and arrive with clean, product-free skin. 

Our pricing reflects fair value for high-quality, professional treatment, not inflated costs based on location or exclusivity. We use medical-grade technology, maintain strict safety standards, and focus on results, honesty, and genuinely personal care—without passing unnecessary overheads on to clients.
