Laser hair removal

The Motus AY laser emits a gentle burst of energy that targets the melanin in the hair follicle, destroying it at its root. This means that not only will hair be removed, but it will also be prevented from growing back for an extended period of time and may be permanently removed.

During laser hair removal treatment, a cooling gel is applied to the area being treated to protect the skin and to help the laser penetrate the hair follicles. The laser device is then used to deliver a series of short pulses of light to the skin.

The treatment can be a little uncomfortable, but the cooling gel helps to reduce any pain or discomfort and our device has a special cooling gel. We may apply cool packs to the skin after treatment and we will use a special after care cream on your skin when we finish. This cream can be purchased as a take home product to help soothe and heal the skin after treatment. 

The treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated. However, most sessions typically take between 15-45 minutes. If you are treating multiple areas this can take take longer, for example a full body treatment is around 2 hours.

Preparation for laser hair removal includes avoiding sun exposure and self tan for at least two weeks before treatment. You should stop retinoids and acids like AHA’s and BHA’s in your skincare routine for a week before, but we will give you specific instructions during your consultation. Please email us info@faceoxford.com if  you wish to check anything with us. 

Please shave 24 hours before you attend. You may be charged extra, or refused treatment if we have to shave you as this is not in our allocated treatment time. 

After treatment, the treated area may be red and swollen for a few hours. It is important to avoid sun exposure and to apply a soothing lotion to the area. The treated hair will gradually fall out over the next few weeks.

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a trained and experienced practitioner. All our practitioners are highly skilled and experienced. However, there are some risks associated with the procedure, including skin irritation, blistering, and changes in skin colour. We provide you with treatment prep information, undertake safe treatments and give aftercare to help you avoid or minimise any complications. 

We have carefully chosen the Motus AY laser machine as it is safer and more effective for all skin types over other lasers, including darker skin tones, thanks to its unique Moveo technology. This feature allows for constant motion during treatment, delivering energy to the hair follicles without causing damage to surrounding skin.

We will not budge on the service delivered, or the quality we give to you.

This does mean that yes, we do charge more than some high street chain laser clinics. Sadly, we have heard numerous reports of poor results, a different and often inexperienced therapist at each session or even complications like burns happening in these clinics. Their model is based on delivering high volume, cheap treatments with low settings so you have to keep coming back and this, quite frankly, stinks.

We feel our prices reflect the quality of treatments and results that we offer with our medical grade laser. We think it’s so lovely that you will always see the same one (or possibly two therapists), which means that especially when you are having intimate areas treated, you feel more comfortable. Continuity of your sessions with one therapist also means that your treatment settings can be increased slightly each session so that in the long run, your results will be so much better. Our laser sessions may be longer than you are used to, because we are also not in a rush to get the next person in, which means you get what you deserve-the best treatments!

We are really proud to offer the best service and results to you at a fair price to deliver the treatment.
