Laser hair removal is one of the fastest-growing beauty treatments in the UK, and for good reason. If you are tired of shaving every few days, dealing with ingrown hairs from waxing, or spending hundreds of pounds a year on temporary hair removal, laser offers a long-term solution that actually works.
At Stella Salon in South Woodford, we are introducing professional laser hair removal services this summer. Here is everything you need to know before booking your first session.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The laser heats and damages the follicle, which reduces or prevents future hair growth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed — typically six to eight treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart — to catch each follicle during its active growth phase.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Almost any area of the body where unwanted hair grows. The most popular treatment areas include the upper lip and chin, underarms, bikini line and Brazilian, full legs, arms, back, and chest.
Does It Hurt?
Most clients describe it as a warm snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin. Modern diode laser machines are significantly more comfortable than older technology. We also use cooling techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible during treatment.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in South Woodford?
Prices at Stella Salon start from £50 per session for smaller areas (upper lip, chin) and range up to £150 for larger areas (full legs, back). We also offer course packages of six sessions with a 15–20% discount — because we know consistency is key to the best results.
Why Choose Stella Salon for Laser?
Our director Marzieh has specific training and certification in laser hair removal and aesthetic treatments. We use a professional-grade diode laser machine and follow strict safety protocols. Every client receives a thorough consultation and patch test before their first treatment.
Unlike chain clinics, we offer a personal, boutique experience where you see the same practitioner each visit — someone who understands your skin, your hair type, and your goals.
