Your course includes your laser hair removal consultation, with the patch test done in it, at least 48 hours before session 1. Buying a course does not book an appointment — we arrange that with you afterwards. Unused sessions aren’t refunded for cash; their value converts to account credit toward any treatment, valid 12 months. Full terms. Intimate areas are treated for clients aged 18 and over only.
Both buttocks are treated together, over the rounded area marked on the diagram.
This is an intimate area and is treated for clients aged 18 and over only.
Sessions are spaced 4–8 weeks apart.
The groin is not included in this course — that is Male Brazilian on the price list. Every men’s area is listed there.
Long-term hair reduction on the Cutera Excel HR — a dual-wavelength system combining 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers, suitable for all skin tones, with sapphire contact cooling for comfort.
Most people looking for long-term hair reduction — suitability is confirmed at consultation. A patch test is required at least 48 hours before the first session.
The laser works by targeting melanin — the pigment in the hair. That makes hair colour, not just skin tone, the thing that decides whether you will get a result.
Skin tone is far less of a barrier here than hair colour: the Cutera excel HR carries both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, so we treat across the full range of skin tones. We’ll tell you honestly at your consultation if we don’t think you’ll get a result.
| Feonix — Cutera excel HR | Salon IPL | |
|---|---|---|
| Light source | ✓A true laser: a single, focused wavelength delivered to the hair follicle. | —Broad-spectrum scattered light, which is less precise. |
| Skin tones | ✓Dual wavelength — Alexandrite and Nd:YAG — matched to your exact skin tone, including darker skin. | —Often unsuitable, or unsafe, for darker skin tones. |
| Comfort | ✓Integrated sapphire cooling protects the skin surface, allowing effective energy levels with less discomfort. | —Varies by device. |
| Before you start | ✓A required consultation with the patch test done in it, at least 48 hours before session 1. | —Varies by provider. |
IPL is a light-based treatment, not a laser. This compares the two technologies, not any particular clinic.
Results from clients treated at our Coventry clinic; the number of sessions needed differs from person to person.
Results vary; suitability confirmed at assessment.
Tell your practitioner about any recent sun exposure, medication changes or new products — treatment may be postponed if the skin is tanned, irritated or sensitised. Read the full preparation guidance.
Temporary redness, warmth or small bumps around the follicles are normal and settle. Contact us about persistent discomfort, blistering or excessive swelling. Read the full aftercare guidance.
Courses are available in 1, 3, 6 or 10 sessions.

All of them. Your therapist assesses your skin using the Fitzpatrick scale at your consultation and selects the wavelength and settings accordingly. Deeper skin tones are treated with the 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength, which passes around the melanin in the skin and targets the follicle. Your settings may be adjusted as your course progresses.
The laser works by targeting melanin — the pigment in the hair. Dark brown and black hair respond best. Blonde, grey, white and some red hair contain too little melanin for the laser to target and cannot be treated. We'll tell you honestly at your consultation if we don't think you'll get a result.
Most clients describe it as a warm snap against the skin — each pulse lasts under a second. Sensitive areas such as the upper lip and bikini line are felt more. The sapphire cooling tip on our excel HR cools the skin as it works, which makes the treatment far more comfortable than waxing.
Courses are available in 1, 3, 6 or 10 sessions. Most areas need a full course to see meaningful reduction — your therapist will recommend the right number for your hair and skin at your consultation. Courses are spaced 4–8 weeks apart, on the face and the body alike. Because hair grows in cycles, each session catches a different set of follicles.
No. We cannot treat over tattooed skin — the ink absorbs laser energy and will burn. We can treat around a tattoo, leaving a 3cm margin.
No. We don't treat during pregnancy. Laser hair removal is an elective treatment and has never been formally studied in pregnancy, so there's no evidence base to work from. Beyond that, pregnancy hormones actively change your hair growth cycle and make your skin more prone to pigmentation changes — meaning results would be unpredictable and the pigmentation risk higher. We'll happily start your course once you've finished breastfeeding.
Your Laser Hair Removal Consultation is £50 (patch test included), and it's fully redeemable against any laser hair removal course or Feonix SkinLab product. We use it to assess your skin type, check your medical history, patch test the settings and give you a straight answer on what results you can realistically expect.
Temporary redness, warmth and mild swelling around the hair follicles are normal and usually settle within a few hours to a couple of days. Some clients notice mild itching or skin that feels a little like mild sunburn.
Less common reactions include blistering, crusting, or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin — most often where the skin has had recent sun exposure or a tan. This is why we're strict about the pre-treatment rules and why we patch test before we start.
Your risk is assessed individually at your consultation, and your settings are chosen for your skin type. Contact us straight away if you experience persistent discomfort, blistering, excessive swelling or any reaction you weren't expecting.
Keep the treated area out of direct sun for two weeks after each session, with broad-spectrum SPF 50+ applied daily. Fake tan can be applied from 24 hours after treatment, once the skin has settled.
Bear in mind the flow works both ways: you also need four weeks clear of sun exposure or sunbeds before your next session. If you're planning a holiday, tell us at your consultation and we'll build your course around it rather than cancelling on the day.
The minimum age for laser hair removal is 16, and anyone under 18 needs consent from a parent or legal guardian. That consent can’t be given through the website, so under-18s book by calling us on 0333 772 1277 rather than online. Intimate areas are treated from 18 only.
We generally recommend waiting until after puberty — typically 16 to 18 — for the best results. The hormonal changes during puberty can trigger new hair growth, which makes a course less effective while they’re still settling.
