To ensure effective results for your laser hair removal in Ealing, please follow these preparation steps:

• Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours prior to your session.
• Avoid chemical peels or resurfacing treatments for at least four weeks before your appointment.
• Exfoliate the treatment area at least three days before your session.
• Make sure any fake tan is fully removed, with no residual tan present on the skin, 24 hours prior to treatment.
• Allow four weeks after direct sun exposure (such as active sunbathing with or without SPF) and two weeks after incidental exposure (with SPF protection and minimal time in direct sunlight).
• Refrain from using topical creams, moisturisers, oils, perfumes, or colognes on the treatment area 24 hours before your session.
• Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams on the area four weeks before laser treatment to keep the hair follicle intact for the laser to target effectively.

For optimal results from your hair removal treatment in Ealing, treatments are generally spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area, skin type, and hair type. For facial treatments, sessions can be scheduled every 2–4 weeks. Each area of the body has a unique hair growth cycle, so results may vary. Completing a course of 8–10 treatments consistently is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions every 2–3 months to achieve long-lasting hair reduction.

Laser hair removal at Stunning Smile Clinic is virtually painless, especially when compared to waxing. The laser pulse lasts less than a second, creating a mild tingling sensation. For more sensitive areas, like the upper lip, it may feel like a quick snap from a rubber band. Our Soprano Titanium laser uses advanced cooling technology to calm the skin, minimising any discomfort.

The recommended interval between laser hair removal sessions is 4–6 weeks, depending on the area, hair type, and skin type. Each body part has a unique hair growth cycle, which means hair loss can vary based on the stage your hair follicles are in during treatment.

Stunning Smile Clinic uses the Soprano Titanium, a leading technology in laser hair removal. This advanced machine is known for its high efficiency and comfort, thanks to its cooling system that calms the skin before, during, and after each session.

Following medical advice, we avoid performing laser hair removal during the first trimester of pregnancy. For clients in their second or third trimester, we require medical clearance from a doctor prior to proceeding with treatment.

Unfortunately, laser hair removal cannot be performed directly over tattoos. However, we can treat areas around the tattoo, keeping a 3cm gap to ensure safety.

Topical numbing creams are not effective for laser hair removal as they cannot penetrate deep enough to affect the hair follicle. The mild sensation felt during treatment is typically manageable due to the advanced cooling technology of the Soprano Titanium.

The interval between appointments is usually 4–6 weeks, depending on the hair and skin type and the area treated. Each part of the body has a different growth cycle, which means hair reduction will vary based on the stage of the follicles.

Clients must be at least 18 years old to undergo laser or skin treatments. For clients aged 14–17, a parent or guardian must be present during the consultation and initial treatment, understanding the process and aftercare.

Certain medications, such as oral or topical vitamin A, antibiotics, and some antidepressants, may cause photo-sensitivity. It’s recommended to speak with your doctor and obtain medical clearance before treatment. After obtaining approval, we can perform a patch test to ensure your skin reacts safely to the laser.
