Laser hair removal - any recommendations?
  • Not completely sure if this is appropriate fare for sg.org but....anyone ever had laser hair removal? Looking online, it's all a bit big scary clinic territory so recommendations would be very welcome. North or central London would be good.

  • amused that ranting about parking tickets is probably my only other post, but have to help out. Try Renew Medica. Muswell Hill. Very professional and did lots of reading before i went in and they got good reviews. not cheap - not sure it ever is - but good. take 2 paracetemol before you go in!
  • I haven't had it done in this country but will need a top-up soon... My colleague recommended the Royal Free to me... £80-something for underarms which might not be the cheapest that could be found in London, but will probably be with a good, up-to-date laser.

    Agree with the analgesic suggestion; it feels like being spanked with fire.
  • I been to the Royal Free laser clinic for treatment for Melasma. They are quite good. I think their health and safety protocols are a bit higher than high street places. I asked if they could laser off some big freckles and they refused saying I was too tanned and it would burn. Other places have agreed to do it no problem. I haven't risked it though.

    You may have the same issue with laser hair removal, most clinics will get you to sign a disclaimer saying you've not been in the sun for six months and don't have a tan, even if they see you do have one. £80 is quite a lot. You can get £50 for a whole leg in Beauty Works in Crouch End. I think the technology is quite old now, not sure if you need a bang up to date laser.

    I like going to the Royal Free though, rather give the money to a hospital than a high st chain.

Howdy, Stranger!
