Laser Hair Removal FAQ’s

How does laser hair removal work?

Initia Diode

Light is emitted by the device, This is then converted into heat energy, damaging the hair follicle.

What does a laser treatment feel like?

With standard laser hair removal treatments, you can feel what is described as the ‘hot fl ick’ of an elastic band during treatment. However, with the virtually pain-free Initia treatment, you will feel little to no sensation at all. The built-in IceTip technology when in MOTION mode, the built-in IceTip technology allows for even more comfort for clients, especially when treating an area with lots of dense and dark hair. This technology can reach temperatures of -8°C for extra comfortable treatments.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required varies from client to client and is dependent on many factors. As a guideline a course of treatments for every area treated.

How long will it take for me to see results?

Results can be seen after just a few treatments. However, a minimum of 6 and up to 9 treatments are recommended to deliver excellent results.

Who is suitable for treatment?

Initia diode laser technology is suitable for all skin types. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not suitable for treatment.

Can all body areas be treated?

Yes, we can practically treat all areas of the body with the exception of the eyebrows, due to their close proximity to the eyes, and the bottom. We are also unable to treat areas covered in tattoos. How long is the treatment session? It’s a fast treatment. The duration depends on the size of the area to be treated. This ranges from five minutes for the upper lip and up to 35 minutes for a full leg.

Are there any contraindications?

There are very few contraindications however, during an advanced consultation, we will run through your medical history. The most common barriers to treatment are photosensitising medication, pregnancy and breast-feeding. Are there any pre-treatment recommendations? Before treatment you should also refrain from sun bathing and use of self-tanners. We recommend no sun exposure for 4-6 weeks. We advise you to arrive at your appointment with the treatment area clean and shaved, without makeup, product or deodorant.

Are there any post-treatment recommendations?

Top tips after laser/IPL hair removal:

1.We always recommend avoiding activities which generate excess heat for at least 24 hours after the treatment. This means no exercise, hot baths, showers or saunas as these things can trap heat and bacteria in the hair follicles and could lead to irritation. We also advise wearing loose, light clothing following your hair removal treatment.

2. We always recommend you wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50, such as Lynton LIGHT PROTECT, to protect your skin from UV damage and sun exposure in between your treatments. The Initia diode utilises high-power technology for laser hair removal Are all laser hair removal devices the same? No, the international scientific community values the Initia diode laser for the best hair removal results in very few sessions and with less risk of side effects to the skin. Also there are different types of lasers with different powers, so choosing one or the other is important if you want to obtain satisfactory results. For a laser to be effective it should have high power. If less energy is applied in the treatment the hair follice will only be weakened, not eliminated. With the Initia, we have two modes: STANDARD mode and MOTION mode. It is MOTION mode which activates the IceTip technology for virtually pain-free treatments, protecting the skin in the treatment area.

Services used - Fractional laser for acne scarring and hair removalI've been getting the above services for a few months now. I can safely say that my acne scarring is starting to disappear, the results have been amazing! Susan is a lovely person and we have some good chats during the treatment. She provides a great service with a smile; I'm glad I chose this business.

17:22 11 Dec 24

I discovered Susan's laser clinic a few years ago and she's now the only person I trust with my face. I had really dark pigmentation on my face from several trips abroad with no suncream as well as numerous broken blood vessels which creams and micro needing couldn't touch. After a couple of treatments my skin is now clear and feels much fresher and brighter.Susan is really knowledgeable and only recommends treatments that would work with my skin. The salon is spotless and I trust her completely.Really happy with the results and the experience in general.

Susan is so kind and understanding. I'm having facial hair removal and seeing great results with it. In fact, it's so good that I recommended Susan and her laser magic to my husband who has had the red veins on his nose zapped away too. I've had IPL on my face in the past at a beauty clinic that didn't work, this is proper laser treatment that will remove hairs for good. Happy to recommend the Laser Clinic to everyone. :) Very clean clinic and professional too.

Both me and my mother have been to Susan for repeat treatments including facial thread veins, vascular damage and scarring. A clear plan was set up for us during our initial consultation and any concerns addressed with no pressure whatsoever. We cannot be happier with the results we've had from the laser clinic. Extremely friendly, professional and all set in a lovely and peaceful setting. Susan is highly recommended and we certainly wouldn't hesitate in revisiting should we need to. Thank You :)

After 18 months of deliberating many different kinds of anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation treatments, I came across The Laser Clinic in Morpeth. On my first visit, I was warmly welcomed by Susan in the most beautiful countryside setting, with a stylish, contemporary clinic. She immediately put me at ease, completing a thorough consultation, and discussing the outcomes and expectations I was hoping to achieve through a course of RF Microneedling. During my first treatment, Susan explained every step of the process and ensured I was comfortable throughout. She is highly professional and knowledgeable, and provided lots of information regarding aftercare to help maximise the results. I am beginning to see improvements in the texture and firmness of my skin, and a reduction in fine lines. I can't wait to complete the course and see the continuing improvements in the condition of my skin. I would highly recommend Susan at The Laser Clinic, and I'm already considering my next course of treatment.

I've had courses of two different types of laser treatment with Susan (for hair removal and rosacea) and have been really happy with the results of both. Susan is very knowledgeable, personable and professional, and I'd really recommend this clinic to anyone. I was referred by a friend and I'd send my friends to her too. So, if in doubt, just make an appointment and see what Susan can do for you!

Sara Dryden

Superb Experience from the minute I arrived. Susan was extremely professional and described each treatment available in meticulous detail. We discussed options and I had Radio Frequency Microneedling.Her assessment, professionalism and attention to detail is phenomenal - she talked to me at every stage to confirm that I was ok throughout.The environment is absolutely breathtaking, the ambience and setting are beautiful & the entire visit was amazingHighly recommend anyone to visit Superb !

Lisa Harding

I found Susan over a year ago, looking for a way to slow down the aging process. I turn 40 this year and started looking after my skin too late. Now I come and see Susan for regular treatments of the radiofrequency micro needling on my face and neck. I love this treatment, because it feels a more natural process, causing my skin to produce its own collagen after the treatment as it heals. The downtime is nothing, my face is a little red that day but the next day I am back to normal so no one knows I have had it done. I love the feel of the treatment when I am having it done, I love the look of my skin now it is being maintained by Susan and I just feel better knowing I am doing something good for my skin. I have got rid of all the fancy moisturisers and I just use one moisturiser that agrees with my skin and a sun screen and I invest the rest of my money in this treatment, because it starts from the deeper inside layers of my skin. I wish I had started this in my twenties. Susan is so lovely as well, I trust my face with her completely.

Claire Mcnally

05:57 20 Jan 23

Always a friendly welcome from Susan, she always makes me feel at ease and explains everything that she is doing and why.The treatments are reasonably priced and she uses the best equipment going.Well recommend service. I wouldn't go anywhere else 😀

Claire Thornton

Susan is absolutely wonderful! I put this off for a long time and it affected my confidence massively. I plucked up the courage to go to a consultation. I’m 7 treatments in and I could not be happier with my results. If you’re scared don’t be, it really is worth it!

Samantha Elves

20:50 11 Jan 23

My third visit to Susan for full face IPL for rosacea. Susan is lovely and check through each stage of the process that your ok. The clinic is lovely and a really nice atmosphere. I can see a big difference in just three treatments.

Few weeks ago I finished my laser hair removal at The Laser Clinic and I’m so happy with my results.I wouldn’t go anywhere else for laser hair removal. Susan is very kind and ensured my experience was smooth. She explain everything to me so that I had a perfect understanding of the procedure. Definitely I would recommend The Laser Clinic to everyone. Soon I’m going back for more treatments.

Bethany Connor

11:53 10 Dec 22

I discovered The Laser Clinic and was quickly booked in for my consultation and then my first appointment. The technician is friendly, reassuring and incredibly professional. She talked me through the whole process and helped me understand the procedure I was having. I’ve since had 3 sessions and my skin looks incredible! Having had the same treatment at a different clinic and being sorely disappointed with the results it was a great feeling to now see my skin without the issues I’d had for so long. I’d highly recommend The Laser Clinic to anyone and will be returning for top ups and other treatments in the future.

Su Atkinson

17:37 01 Dec 22

Susan is lovely, explained what treatment I would need and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I particularly liked the rural location, as I'm not sure I would be as confident or relaxed going into a town centre environment. I had laser treatment on some red prominent veins on my nose and hair removal on my chin ( I've had a fear of being in an accident and waking up with a beard 😂, so decided to deal with it in a more permanent way) I would definitely give 5* rating and highly recommended The Laser Clinic Morpeth

11:47 13 Nov 22

Coming to the Laser Clinic feels more like going to a spa than a treatment! The setting makes you feel relaxed and Susan is so professional you know you are in very good hands. The results of the fractional laser is absolutely incredible…highly recommend!!

Susan is amazing! After a bad experience elsewhere she couldn’t have have done more to build my confidence back up. I have had three pigmentation removal seasons and the changes in my skin have been so noticeable. She’s professional, welcoming and so knowledgeable. Her little clinic is beautiful. Now planning more sessions and other treatments with her. Would not go elsewhere and have recommended her to all friends and family 🤌

I came to Susan for treatment for pigment marks/ red veins on my face and have had fantastic results. Susan is so professional and very friendly, which made me feel at ease during all times throughout my treatment.

Wendy Barrass

I have suffered with thread veins and pigmentation on my face and have spent a lot of time and money on other treatments changes in diet etc and saw no real improvement. A friend recommended Susan to me.I had very little confidence and The treatment I have undertaken with Susan at the Laser Clinic has been nothing short of miraculous to me. I am full of confidence in myself and how I look. I recommend this treatment to anyone who has facial veins . The results are incredible and I can’t thank Susan enough for what she has done. I will always be grateful.

Having suffered from acne scarring since my teenage years (I'm 47 now), I finally decided to do something about it. I was put in touch with Susan from The Laser Clinic and have just had my sixth and final laser treatment with her. I was incredibly nervous to start with, but she soon put me at ease and answered any questions I had. Six months on and my skin is much, much better and have been told it will continue to improve even further as a result of my specific treatment.All in all a great experience and I am extremely happy with the outcome.Cheers Susan!

Lesley Sisterson

17:17 08 Feb 22

Have recently had some laser treatment at the Laser Clinic and I am so happy with the results. I had treatment for some facial pigmentation and thread vein removal, it has made a huge difference and would highly recommend it. Susan made me feel at ease from the start and answered any questions I had, she couldn’t have been nicer. The clinic is in a lovely, quiet, discreet location which is great as my face as expected was a bit red after the treatment, I would have hated to have to walk through town. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Laser Clinic, definitely 5 stars.
