Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair
Laser hair removal at The Laser & Aesthetic Clinic uses the Candela GentleMax Pro, which has two lasers in one machine. The 755nm Alexandrite treats fair to olive skin and the 1064nm Nd:YAG treats darker skin, so we can treat skin types I to VI. Most people need 6 to 8 sessions: about 4 weeks apart for the face and 6 to 8 weeks for the body. Every course starts with a £10 consultation and a patch test.
It is one of our most popular treatments, for men and women, on the face and body. Laser gives long-term hair reduction rather than removing every hair for good, so most people book an occasional top-up once their course is finished.
Our laser: the Candela GentleMax Pro
We use the GentleMax Pro, made by Candela. It holds two lasers in one machine. That matters because a hair removal laser works by targeting the pigment in your hair, and the right wavelength depends on how much pigment is in your skin as well.
The machine also has a built-in cooling spray, Candela’s Dynamic Cooling Device, which cools the skin just before and after each pulse. It makes treatment more comfortable and means no gel is needed.
Two Wavelengths. Every Skin Type. Superior Results.
The GentleMax Pro combines two powerful laser modalities in a single system:
Alexandrite 755nm Laser is used for skin types I to III, which is fair to light olive skin. It is strongly absorbed by the pigment in the hair, so it works quickly on dark hair against lighter skin.
Nd:YAG 1064nm Laser is used for skin types IV to VI, which is olive to deep brown and Black skin. It reaches deeper into the skin and is absorbed less by the pigment at the surface, which lowers the risk of burns and colour changes on darker skin.
Together, these dual wavelengths mean our clinic can treat the full spectrum of skin types — from very fair to deep skin tones — delivering outstanding hair reduction results for every client.
Who it Suits and What We Treat
Tailored to You
Every treatment at our Kent clinic is fully personalised. Our experienced aestheticians assess your skin type, hair colour, and treatment area before customising your laser settings — ensuring optimum results while keeping your skin safe.
Areas We Treat
Laser hair removal is effective across a wide range of treatment areas, including:
- Legs and arms
- Underarms
- Bikini line and Brazilian
- Back and chest
- Upper lip, chin, and jawline
- Neck and shoulders
Long-term Hair Reduction
Shaving and waxing deal with the hair. Laser goes after the follicle that grows it. Each session disables more follicles, so hair comes back finer, lighter and sparser. Most clients see a big reduction by the end of their course, then book a top-up once or twice a year to keep things smooth.
