Guaranteed up to 90% Hair Reduction in 8 Sessions!

At House of Aesthetics we don’t use standardised settings on our clients as we understand every skin and hair type is different. We adjust our setting to make sure you get the best results in the quickest amount of time. In turn, you spend less money compared to most of our competitors, who will offer a cheaper package with standardised settings, meaning you will need more sessions over a longer period of time and more top ups in the future. We guarantee up to 90% hair reduction in only 8 treatments, using medical grade technology and 5 star service.

Why is Laser Hair Removal For Dark Skin different?

A few years ago, laser hair removal was not recommended for people with darker skin tones, in particular those with black skin or dark skin types. As laser energy targets the pigment in the hair follicle, dark skin can be at risk of burning as laser can be attracted to the skin rather than the pigment in the hair. However, lasers now have the longer 1064mm wavelength for black skin and darker skin tones, which can differentiate between skin and hair pigment. This wavelength is known as Nd:YAG, which is what we use at House of Aesthetics

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin

Convenient & cost effective

We have the most advanced Laser hair removal Technology, meaning you will need less session compare to other companies. We offer several different types of plans; 0% Finance, Klarna Payments & in-house payment plans to be able to accommodate all our client needs and to make your treatment more affordable.

World Leading Technology

The Candela Gentle Max Pro is the industry leading FDA approved laser in use today. Its innovative technology combines Alexandrite laser for light skin & YAG laser for black skin and darker skin types. Numerous benefits and proven results mean this revolutionary laser is the only laser in the market that can guarantee results.

Reduce ingrown hairs​

Laser Hair Removal works by directing concentrated light to target the hair follicle at the root. The laser inhibits the hair’s ability to grow without disrupting or damaging the skin’s surface, so even the most sensitive skin can be treated.

Long Lasting Solutions

The laser emits a concentrated beam of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, effectively destroying them and preventing future hair growth. We guarantee up to 90% hair reduction in only 8 treatments.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Consultation and Assessment Before the treatment, we will need to schedule a free consultation to to ensure you’re suitable for laser hair removal. Our experienced practitioners will assess your skin type, hair type, and treatment areas. A patch test will be done to ensure no adverse reactions. If successful, you can book your laser hair removal session 48 hours later at a convenient time.

 

The Treatment During the session, our experienced Laser Therapists use the market-leading Candela Gentlemax Pro, featuring Alexandrite and Nd-Yag lasers, to target hair follicles beneath the skin. This advanced technology ensures effective hair reduction for both light and dark skin tones. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, effectively destroying them and preventing future hair growth. You may feel a slight tingling or snapping sensation, but most clients find the process to be comfortable and quick.

Follow-Up Sessions For optimal results, multiple treatment sessions are required. Hair grows in different cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase. Typically, 6-8 sessions spaced a few weeks apart are recommended to achieve long-lasting, smooth skin. We guarantee up to 90% hair reduction in only 8 treatments, using medical grade technology and 5 star service.


Enjoy Smooth, Hair-Free Skin After completing your treatment plan, you’ll enjoy the freedom of smooth, hair-free skin. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed to keep your skin looking flawless

Why choose House of Aesthetics for laser hair removal if you have black skin or dark skin?

Since darker skin tones tend to be more sensitive and prone to pigmentation, you need to make sure you choose a reputable clinic with correct and thorough training for all skin types and using the right lasers. During your in-depth consultation, one of our clinically trained practitioners will assess your skin type using the Fitzpatrick scale which will determine the wavelength we use. We’ll then test patch a discrete area 48 hours prior to treatment to ensure your skin is suitable and you are safe to proceed with the treatment.

Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin FAQ

Laser Hair Removal is one of the most effective ways of removing hair long-term. Most patients require around 6-8 sessions of laser hair removal in order see up to 90% hair loss after first course of treatment and results can vary depending on a case by case basis (e.g. influential factors such as skin type can affect performance). In the long term, the cost of laser hair removal can prove to be more efficient & convenient than regular waxing.

Yes. To protect your safety we invest in the very latest medical-grade laser technology to ensure the safest and best performance. All of our machines are regularly tested and maintained for patient protection. As a point of policy, the average experience of our practitioners tends to be 5+ years.

Most clients experience little to no pain. Some of our patients experience a mild prickling sensation when the laser is emitted, but for most (circa 90%), the experience is entirely pain-free and comfortable.

Yes. Laser hair removal is a popular treatment for men looking to reduce excess hair. 35% of our clients are men.

Yes. For trans women particularly, unwanted hair often impedes a successful transition. Estrogen does not work to remove facial hair once it has developed during male puberty. As well, if you plan on having gender affirming surgery, you may need to remove hair from the genital area beforehand.

After your first laser hair removal treatment, you will begin to notice shedding of hair.  Regrowth in the area is reduced and any new hairs come out finer and thinner to be treated at the next session.

Laser Hair Removal is suitable for all areas on the face and body. Clients can pick full body laser hair removal or tailor-make packages for any areas they would like. Some popular single areas include face, underarm, and  Hollywood laser hair removal.

Some clients describe the sensation as a rubber band plucking against your skin which will be reduced with each session as there is less hair.

Darker skin needs to be treated slightly differently from lighter skin due to the high melanin content found in the skin. House of Aesthetics use the GentleMax Pro which has the Nd:Yag laser built in which is best for darker skin types. This laser penetrates deeper into the skin picking up only on the hair and not the pigment in the skin, this is vital for darker skin as it allows you to miss the melanin and only hit the hair follicle.

Using the latest FDA approved medical grade Candela technology our Nd:YAG wavelength lasers are ideally suited for Brown, Asian, Indian, and black skin tones. Our practitioners will have years laser experience before joining us, making them the most knowledgeable and safest practitioners in the industry today, so you can trust us to safely help you get the results you desire.
