Laser hair removal is one of the most popular treatments for both men and women looking for a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair. At rtwskin, located in Tunbridge Wells (Kent) and conveniently close to London, we provide state-of-the-art laser hair removal services that deliver dramatic results. With advanced medical-grade lasers and a team of skilled practitioners, we help you achieve permanent hair reduction safely and effectively.

Why choose laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal offers a precise and efficient solution to eliminate unwanted hair. Unlike traditional methods such as waxing or shaving, hair laser removal targets the hair follicle, ensuring long-term reduction in hair growth results with minimal discomfort. Our clients often experience significant hair reduction after just a few sessions, making it one of the most popular treatments for those seeking smooth, hair-free skin.

At rtwskin, we use the most advanced Alexandrite laser treatment and Nd:YAG laser technologies to ensure optimal results for all skin types:

  • Alexandrite laser epilation: the gold standard for Fitzpatrick skin types 1-3 (fair to light skin tones). Our DEKA Alexandrite laser is highly effective for removing dark, pigmented hair and can also treat thin, light-colored hairs. Generally, thicker and darker hair is easier to remove, while light and thin hair may require more sessions for optimal results.
  • Nd:YAG laser treatment hair removal: the safest and most effective solution for darker Fitzpatrick skin types 4-6, including Asian and dark skin. The Nd:YAG laser light penetrates deep into the skin to target and destroy hair follicles while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.

Our two advanced laser systems enable us to tailor each treatment to suit your specific needs perfectly.

Our clinic’s advanced laser technology minimises the number of sessions needed, offers faster treatment times, and reduces discomfort. To ensure maximum patient comfort, every treatment room is equipped with state-of-the-art cooling systems.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal utilizes a focused beam of light to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The light energy converted to the heat damages the root and disrupts the blood supply to the hair follicle, effectively preventing future hair growth.

Areas we treat and what makes us different

We offer laser hair removal for face and body areas for both men and women. Whether it’s women’s laser hair removal for areas such as the upper lip, chin, underarms, or legs, or laser hair removal for men targeting the chest, back, and shoulders, our treatments are tailored to meet your individual needs.

How Often Do I Need to Have a Treatment?

To achieve the best results, regular treatments are essential. We recommend laser treatments every 4 weeks for facial hair removal and every 6-8 weeks for body hair removal. On average, 6 to 12 treatments are needed for satisfactory results, though the exact number may vary from person to person.

Patients with polycystic ovaries or other hormonal conditions should consult their GP before starting laser treatments or schedule a consultation with our dermatology team. Additional sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.

What Should I Expect After My Treatment?

After your treatment, you may experience some redness in the skin, which can last from a few minutes up to 24 hours. Occasionally, the treated area may feel itchy for a few hours. It is normal for the treated hair to shed between sessions. We advise against waxing or plucking these hairs, as it can interfere with the treatment process.

For the best results, follow our Laser hair removal aftercare advice, which will help ensure optimal healing and effectiveness of your treatments.

The difference between laser and IPL

It’s essential to understand the difference between laser therapy hair removal and IPL (intense pulsed light). Many clinics use IPL machines, claiming to offer hair removal using laser. However, IPL is far less effective and penetrative compared to true laser systems, such as the Alexandrite laser or Nd:YAG laser.

  • Laser treatment for hair removal directly targets the hair follicle, delivering concentrated energy to destroy it.
  • IPL treatments scatter light and can cause unwanted side effects, such as burns or pigmentation issues, especially for darker skin types.

With laser technology, fewer sessions are required, and results are far more effective and long-lasting.

Consultations, test patches, and related treatments

At rtwskin, we offer free consultations and test patches before beginning treatment. Our practitioners will assess your skin and hair type, explain the expected number of sessions, and perform a test patch to ensure the procedure is safe and comfortable for you.

We also offer additional services such as electrolysis for fine, blond or grey hair removal, body treatments for overall skin rejuvenation, and facial treatments to enhance your skin’s appearance.

Laser light transmits light energy as heat via the pigment in the hair, known as melanin. This energy travels down the hair shaft and damages and disables the hair follicle thus preventing the hair from growing back. Laser hair removal works best on dark hair and skin type I-III because it contains more pigment to absorb the laser light. Fair hair and red hair can respond to the correct laser but white hairs will not, since this hair colour contains little or no pigment. Electrolysis is available at rtwskin for grey, blond and very fine hair.

Regular treatments will get the best results. We recommend Laser treatments every 4 weeks to remove facial hair, and every 6-8 weeks to remove body hair.  Average 6 – 12 treatments will be required to get satisfactory results but the exact number of treatments will vary between individuals. Patients with polycystic ovaries or other hormonal conditions are advised to see their GP prior to Laser treatments or book a consultation with our Dermatology team. Additional sessions may be required to achieve a satisfactory result.

You may experience some skin redness which could last from a few minutes to 24 hours. Sometimes the skin can feel itchy for a few hours. We expect your treated hair to fall out between treatments. We do not recommend you wax or pluck these hairs.

In the first few days following treatment, Aloe Vera Gel should be applied regularly to soothe the area.
A sun protector, at least SPF30 should be applied to the exposed treated areas every day for at least four weeks after the treatment, regardless of the weather. Ideally the area should not be exposed to direct sunlight until the course of treatment is complete. Regrettably it is not possible to treat tanned skin for safety reasons.
You may continue to shave or use depilatory creams if you wish to keep the treated area ‘hair free’. However it is not advisable to pluck or wax the area between treatments as this disturbs the hair growth cycle which can make subsequent treatments less effective.
Please ensure that 1-2mm of hair is visible on the surface of your skin when returning for follow-on treatment. i.e. shave 3 to 4 days prior to treatment.
