Our full body Laser hair removal package is one of the most popular laser and hair removal treatments in our London clinics, and for good reason. It results in a permanent reduction of unwanted hair of up to 90% and has a huge impact on our clients lives finally being hair free.

While many people select target areas (e.g. the upper lip, eyebrows, legs, etc.), Laser can be used effectively for the whole body for both women and increasingly men these days.

Full body works out at much better value too. If you add up the areas individually they would cost many times more then having full body.

What Areas Does Full Body Include?

If you are researching having full body laser hair removal done it is worth bearing in mind that not all companies that offer full body actually mean full body!.

The definition varies as what it included with full body. Some companies include the head and face whereas many do not. At Premier Laser full body means full body !

So everything from the top of your head to the tip of your toes is included!. No confusion. No small print. Just laser and a lot of it!.

Areas covered in a full body laser hair removal commonly include :

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Laser hair removal for the full body takes between two to three hours per session. Although an experienced practitioner can get this down to around 90 minutes.

This also varies based on your gender, size and the amount of hair you wish to remove.

A man who is 6ft 5in weighing 110kg will take longer then a petite 50kg female who is 5 feet!.

Experienced practitioners make a difference

It is always good to ask about the experience of your practitioner as this makes a huge difference to your outcome. Not only saving you time every session but with your end results.

An experienced practitioner will be confident in adjusting laser settings to make sure your sessions are always effective. Taking into account your lifestyle how you have reacted to previous sessions and whether or not you have been on holiday and tanned etc.

Laser hair removal requires a good relationship between practitioner and client, especially when you are having full body as you will be spending a lot of time with the practitioner.

The client needs to communicate and give feedback so adjustments can be made if necessary with the laser strength or spot size, so the best results can be achieved over the course treatment.

WHEN WILL I ACHIEVE THE RESULTS I WANT?

Laser hair removal results depends on a few factors.

• Type of hair – thick coarse hairs v fine hairs
• Hormones – hormones affect hair growth
• Consistency – keeping to regular appointments

Some people experience excellent results after only 4 sessions, others may need over 10.

Are the results permanent?

Many clients experience up to 90% permanent hair loss after complete a course of laser hair removal treatment. This is a dramatic and huge impact on grooming habits and routines.

Occasional top up sessions may be required once a year or once every two years depending one the individual. Compare that with continuing to shave every few weeks or waxing.

WILL IT WORK ON MY COLOUR SKIN?

Laser hair removal technology has come a long way since it was first invented. The Candela Gentlemax Pro used at Premier Laser is the a state-of-the-art laser used in medical practices and hospitals worldwide. It can treat all skin types and tones from light to dark skin using its dual wavelength of Alexandrite and Nd:YAG.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

We usually recommend six to eight sessions, with a six week period in between. So the complete eight session package should take just under a year to complete if you attend all your sessions at 6 weeks intervals. With holidays , work, family and life getting in the way of appointments realistically one year from first to last treatment is a more accurate time frame.

If you need a package of 6 then you should complete all your sessions in 36-48 weeks depending you have not missed any.
For a package of 8 you will finish in 48-64 weeks. Most clients will experience up to a 90% reduction in permanent hair removal after they complete their course.

IS IT WORTH IT ?

Is it worth it? That’s a personal choice: while it is a commitment in terms of the initial time, the results can free you from hours of grooming. Also after the initial cost there is nothing to pay long term so it really is best to think of laser hair removal as a long term investment in yourself that will pay off for years to come.

As mentioned the time saved will add up over the years and although it isn’t a financial cost, saving you time can be more valuable.

  • Imagine if you could hop in – and out – of the shower without shaving?
  • Or not having to get waxed every few weeks and go through the pain barrier as the waxy hairy strips are peeled of your bikini area…ouch !,
  • or being able to show off your newest outfits without waxing or wounds from razors gone wrong?
  • Facing the day with confidence – and without pesky unwanted hair?

In the long term, laser hair removal saves you time and money.

Another bonus too is it can help if you suffer from ingrown hairs or if other hair removal techniques irritate your skin (razor burn, anyone?).

4 benefits of having full body laser

1.Save money

When you add up the cost of shaving creams, razors, after-shave soothing gel, epilators, waxing… keeping your skin smooth can be a big investment.

With laser hair removal, you can get the results you want in just a few sessions. Imagine a permanent reduction in unwanted hair. It’s an attainable goal. We offer favourable pricing and even financing to make this an affordable one as well.

2.Save time

 Just as costs add up, so too does the time you spend on grooming. Even with longer lasting treatments, such as waxing, you still have to commit to hair removal every few weeks. You can take back control of your schedule, shorten your showers – and you may shave (pun intended!) a few quid off your water bill too!

3.Save yourself from pesky ingrown hairs

Ingrown hairs can cause discomfort and, in some cases, painful sores. They create little red bumps, similar in appearance to pimples. With laser hair treatment, you can eliminate these issues.

4.Save your sensitive skin from razor burn and nicks

Red, itchy, irritated skin, rash-like bumps and little cuts are often the price of shaving. Just say “no”!

HOW MUCH DOES FULL BODY LASER HAIR REMOVAL COST?

A lot of people are put off having full body laser laser hair removal due to the cost. Most companies offer financing to cover the costs of laser hair treatment.

This can bring it down to an affordable monthly cost sometimes around the same price as you would pay for your mobile phone, but unlike your mobile phone you wont be paying for ever…just 12 months.
