LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN BRIGHTON

A PERSONALISED, DOCTOR-LED APPROACH TO LASTING HAIR REDUCTION, FOR SMOOTHER SKIN AND A SIMPLER DAILY ROUTINE

FACE · BODY · INTIMATE AREAS

Laser hair removal uses controlled laser energy to target pigment within actively growing hair follicles, progressively reducing unwanted hair growth. It can be used on selected facial, body and intimate areas and may also help reduce recurrent ingrowing hairs and shaving-related irritation.

Treatment may suit patients seeking a longer-term alternative to shaving, waxing, threading or plucking, including those experiencing increased facial or body hair associated with hormonal changes or conditions such as PCOS.

Dr Knight will assess your skin and hair type, review your relevant medical history and discuss the improvements you hope to achieve, with clear advice on expected results. Your personalised plan will include preparation, patch testing and a treatment schedule shaped around your individual needs. Every appointment is personally undertaken by Dr Knight, with ongoing review and clear aftercare to support your progress and longer-term hair reduction.

WHAT CAN LASER HAIR REMOVAL HELP WITH?

Laser hair removal may be considered for unwanted or excessive pigmented hair growth on selected facial, body and intimate areas.

It may be particularly helpful for:

• Unwanted facial or body hair

• Recurrent ingrowing hairs

• Shaving rash and irritation from repeated hair removal

• Increased hair growth associated with PCOS or hormonal change

• Hair reduction as part of gender-affirming care

• Reducing the ongoing need for shaving, waxing, threading or plucking

Laser treatment reduces visible hair growth but does not treat an underlying hormonal cause. Where hair growth is new, changing rapidly or accompanied by other symptoms, Dr Knight may recommend further medical assessment before or alongside treatment.

HOW LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORKS

Laser hair removal directs controlled light energy towards the pigment within the hair. This energy is converted into heat within the follicle, impairing the structures responsible for producing new hair.

Treatment settings are selected according to your skin tone, hair characteristics and treatment area, balancing effective follicular heating with the protection of the surrounding skin.

WHY A COURSE OF TREATMENT IS REQUIRED

Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase. As not every hair is active at the same time, repeated treatments are required to target different groups of follicles as they enter this phase.

Hair density and regrowth usually reduce progressively across the course. Individual response varies, and occasional maintenance treatment may be recommended over time.

WHO CARRIES OUT THE LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT AT THE CLINIC?

Our advanced laser hair removal treatments are carried out by Dr Ayanna Knight who also provides treatment for hair removal for intimate areas.

Our Doctor Led Clinic offers complete wrap-around patient care from consultation to aftercare. Prior to treatment, a consultation is carried out in which a medical history is taken to confirm suitability for treatment. This appointment also allows any questions or concerns you may have to be discussed.

YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL JOURNEY

1. CONSULTATION AND ASSESSMENT

Your care begins with a focused consultation and clinical assessment with Dr Knight. Your medical history, medications, previous hair-removal methods, pattern of hair growth, skin tone, hair characteristics and treatment goals are reviewed.

Dr Knight assesses both your suitability for laser treatment and whether it is likely to provide meaningful benefit.

2. PATCH TEST AND PERSONALISED PLAN

A small patch test is carried out on the selected treatment area at least 48 hours before your first treatment. This helps assess your skin response and establish appropriate starting settings.

Following your consultation, you will receive a personalised written plan summarising the recommended treatment areas, proposed course, costs, preparation and next steps. There is no obligation to proceed.

3. YOUR TREATMENT SESSIONS

At each appointment, the treatment area and any relevant changes to your health, medication, skin or recent sun exposure are reviewed.

Laser energy is delivered systematically across the treatment area while integrated contact cooling helps manage heat at the skin surface. Sensation varies but is commonly described as warmth or mild prickling. Treatment time depends on the area being treated.

4. AFTERCARE, PROGRESS AND MAINTENANCE

Written aftercare is provided following treatment. Temporary redness, warmth or follicular swelling may occur and is usually short-lived.

Your response is reviewed throughout the course, allowing treatment settings and future sessions to be adjusted where appropriate. Hair density and regrowth usually reduce progressively, although occasional maintenance treatment may be recommended.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR PCOS AND HORMONAL HAIR GROWTH

Laser hair removal may help manage visible facial or body hair associated with hirsutism, PCOS, menopause, other hormonal changes or certain medications.

Treatment reduces the visible hair growth but does not treat its underlying cause. Where hormonal stimulation continues, additional initial sessions or ongoing maintenance may be required to manage new growth.

Dr Knight will consider the pattern, duration and progression of your hair growth alongside your relevant medical history. Where growth is new, changing rapidly or accompanied by other symptoms, further medical assessment may be recommended before or alongside laser treatment.

GENDER-AFFIRMING HAIR REDUCTION

Laser hair removal may also form part of gender-affirming care. Treatment is planned around your individual priorities, with clear guidance about suitability, the likely course required and the possible need for maintenance.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT GUIDE

IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL SUITABLE FOR ME?

Suitability depends on your skin tone, hair colour and thickness, treatment area, medical history, medications and recent sun exposure.

Pigmented brown and black hair generally responds best. Very light blonde, grey, white and some red hair may not contain enough pigment to respond sufficiently.

HOW MANY LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

An initial course of 6–8 treatments is commonly recommended. Some facial, hormonally influenced or resistant hair growth may require additional sessions.

Appointments are usually spaced approximately 4–8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, hair-growth cycle and individual response.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS, AND ARE THEY PERMANENT?

Some reduction may be noticed following the early sessions, with hair generally becoming finer, sparser and slower to regrow as the course progresses.

Laser hair removal is best described as long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal. New growth can develop over time, particularly where hormonal influences remain, and maintenance treatment may be recommended.

IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL PAINFUL?

Sensation varies according to the treatment area and individual sensitivity. Most patients describe warmth, prickling or a brief snapping sensation.

The Trilogyice applicator incorporates contact cooling to help manage heat and improve comfort during treatment.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?

Downtime is usually minimal. Temporary redness, warmth or follicular swelling may occur following treatment and is generally short-lived.

Written aftercare is provided, including guidance on skincare, heat and sun exposure.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR TREATMENT?

Waxing, plucking, threading and epilation should be avoided before and during your course because the hair needs to remain within the follicle for the laser to target it.

The area should be shaved or trimmed as instructed. Tanning and fake tan should be avoided, and any changes to your health or medication should be disclosed before treatment.

IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL SAFE FOR DARKER SKIN TONES?

Many darker skin tones can be treated using carefully selected wavelengths and individually tailored settings. Assessment and patch testing are particularly important to reduce the risk of unwanted skin reactions.

Laser treatment is not risk-free. Possible complications include blistering, burns, pigment change, scarring and an uncommon response known as paradoxical hair growth. These risks and your individual suitability will be discussed before treatment.

IS A PATCH TEST REQUIRED?

Yes. A patch test is carried out on the selected treatment area at least 48 hours before your first session.

This helps assess your skin response and guides the treatment settings used for your first appointment.

CAN INTIMATE AREAS BE TREATED?

Yes. Laser hair removal is available for selected external, hair-bearing intimate areas for patients of all genders.

Appointments are provided within a private clinic setting, with treatment limited to areas considered safe and appropriate following assessment.
