Laser mole removal?

OneBrightStar

My mrs is looking into hair removal treatment for her face but london seems to be crowded with these sort of clinics. Has anyone had facial or body hair removal treatment in london and they could recommend us please?

We are based in Central london.

Thanks a lot

I'm in Sheffield and have gone to CourtHouse Clinics - they have one in London too.

I first went many years ago when my 'beard and moustache' were very bad - I permanently had a 'morning shadow' and the stubble on my chin was as thick as my husbands - I had to shave twice a day - so it was bad! At that time I think the treatment was IPL laser which did significantly improve it but didn't get rid, and I still had to go back every 8-10 weeks for several years. The treatment also felt like you were having an elastic band pinged at your face - so wasn't pain free although bearable.

The clinic then introduced their current Soprano laser and it has been fantastic. Pain free - although it is warm on your face and if there's not enough gel applied it feels hot - but the person treating you just puts more gel on and then it's fine. I'm about to go next week for another treatment - but my last one was August 2011 - so haven't been for nearly 2 years and is only now growing back significantly enough for me to want another treatment - I have about 25 hairs growing which need shaving each morning. But they are finer and lighter than before and don't leave any trace once shaved (before there was still black stubble). I accept they will never go completely (think hormonal impact and hair growth is continual) but to only have to have treatment every two years is just amazing - I only wish it had been available in my late teens/ twenties when I wouldn't leave the house without a thick layer of foundation on to cover the stubble. I now don't wear any foundation/powder at all (which is great with young children!)

Not cheap but life changing for me....
