My laser hair removal experiences as a university student in London


By Mary Basiadima, 11 February 2020


[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A lot of women (and some men!) dream of smooth and hairless skin – I’m no !.


I am an overseas student living and at a London . I have also been working in the nail and eyelash industry and have high standards when it comes to my own appearance, so excess and visible hair simply cannot exist on my skin!.


(Prices have come down so it’s more affordable for uni students to get laser hair and many offer discounts making it cheaper)


With so many aesthetic, beauty and laser hair removal clinics in London offering laser hair there has never been a better time to get rid of excess hair.


But which one should you choose?.


I previously had laser hair removal done for my underarms, arms, and legs when back home in my country. But after moving to the UK for a few years, I discovered that my facial hair had become more visible, especially hair on my upper lip.


Many people said it could be the problem of hard water hair growth but I’m not so sure. Whatever the reason I just wanted it gone.


So I to go for the upper lip and bikini laser hair removal. Bikini laser hair removal is also very popular, I can why just thinking of all the time, money and pain I went through with waxing all those years!.

How I choose the skin clinic for my laser hair removal

Since I had very successful laser hair results using by Candela in my home i wanted to find a clinic in London using them.


I did a Google search and came across Laser & Skin. After around for more information about this clinic I found out :

Price of Laser Hair Removal for students

As a student it was that the price was right. Looking at the price again, I found out the cost of Premier Laser & Skin stood out from other clinics in my area.


For example – 


For my upper lip and bikini areas, six sessions are 522 pounds, and eight sessions are 580 pounds. The other clinics I searched use the same machine, the price for the same skin areas was 596 pounds for four and 1008 pounds for eight sessions.


So I chose Premier Laser & Skin due to their competitive price, a large amount of experience and . I also booked a and for fat reduction and filler for chin contouring. I plan having them done together and get ready for summer.


­­­


I made an online enquiry late night and next day I received a appointment for free consultations and patch test.


On the day, I at the clinic about 10 in advance. The clinic was in Liverpool St. in the City of London which was only a 12-minute walk from where I live.


The consultation process was very smooth. Firstly I was given a form to fill in in order to check my suitability, the laser then explained how laser hair removal works, checked my skin type and areas need to be treated, answered all my questions, followed by doing few patch tests on my upper lip and bikini areas. She that laser patch test is a must.


If there is no adverse 48 hours post patch test, I will be totally safe to have the full skin lasered.


She the science part that laser light energy is by melanin which gives hair colour, energy will be transmitted to hair root and destroy it, making the hair lose its to without harming other skin tissues which due to my research I had a rough idea about.


I was told that hair needed to be shaved the night before my appointment. This is to make sure laser energy can focus on killing hair root rather than burn hair shift which can be shaved.


She confirmed I cannot use depilatory cream as chemicals will cause skin sensitivity, no and waxing either as the hair root needed to stay so the laser can permanently kill it.


I booked my next full appointment before I left the clinic.


Following my laser practitioner’s instructions, I shaved my lip hair and bikini hair at home the night before my and came to the clinic 10 minutes earlier.


After being with the front desk, I had some in the waiting area, my practitioner introduced themselves and said hello and took me to the laser room.


I lay down on couch comfortably, she checked my skin and asked few questions, I was given laser protection to wear. She cleaned my skin first, then drew guidelines with white pencil on where I want to be treated,


She this was especially important for Bikini areas, so both sides can be and .


After the first laser pulse, she asked for my feedback, it was ok so she carried on and all in about 30 minutes.


My skin looked red, similar redness as after waxing.


It felt like someone was an elastic band on my skin by a burst of cool air but it much easier than waxing!. After finishing lasering, my cold aloe vera gel to sooth the skin and to calm down the redness.


After I got dressed, my reminded me again of the home care process and handed me a paper copy. It listed:


I booked my 2nd laser hair removal before I left clinic.


I bought a of  8 treatments.


I have fallen in love with my skin!. I will to do the remaining 4 sessions according to the recommendation, and look forward to even better results.
