If you’ve been searching for laser hair removal in Preston, you’re not alone — more people than ever are turning to laser technology for a long-term solution to unwanted hair. Whether you’re looking for a more permanent hair removal option, dealing with PCOS, or just tired of constant shaving and waxing, this guide to laser hair removal in Preston will walk you through everything you need to know before booking your treatment at The Skinician in Preston.
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles with a concentrated beam of light. This energy is absorbed by the hair root, which is then damaged to reduce or inhibit future growth. Over several sessions, this leads to smoother skin and long-term hair reduction.
At The Skinician in Preston, we use state-of-the-art, pain-free laser technology designed to work safely and effectively across a range of skin tones and hair types.
A common question we hear is: What’s the difference between IPL and laser?
Laser: Uses a focused, single wavelength of light to precisely target hair follicles.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Uses broad-spectrum light and is generally less targeted, often requiring more sessions for the same results.
At The Skinician, we specialise in laser hair removal (not IPL) for more effective, quicker results and fewer sessions.
Laser hair removal is suitable for most people, including:
Women with PCOS
Hormonal hair growth (especially on the chin, jawline, and neck) can be managed effectively with laser.
Men and women with coarse or dark hair
People with sensitive skin or ingrown hairs
All genders and skin tones, provided a patch test is done beforehand
Most clients need 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and laser is most effective during the active growth phase, which is why multiple treatments are necessary.
At your consultation, we’ll personalise your treatment plan and patch test to ensure your skin reacts safely and effectively.
After your laser session, you might experience mild redness or sensitivity, similar to sunburn. These effects usually disappear within a few hours.
Top aftercare tips:
Avoid hot showers, sunbeds, and gym workouts for 24–48 hours
Wear SPF daily
Don’t wax or pluck between sessions (shaving is okay)
