My Experience With Laser Hair Removal – 2 Months In

by hannahandfitness

Whilst this isn’t my usual kinda blog post, I wanted to share with you all my experience with laser hair removal that I’m currently having at Hampshire Laser Clinic.

If you follow me on Instagram (IG stories, in particular) then you’ll know that 2 months ago I decided to go down the route of laser hair removal. Since my teenage days, I’ve always been my biggest enemy when it comes to body hair. Now don’t get me wrong, I have a lovely head of thick, shiny and strong hair, however, thanks to my amazing genes, this meant that I was also blessed with thick and very quickly growing hair on the lower half of my body. Lucky me, eh? Whilst some ladies may love their body hair (and I don’t judge at all), my opinion differs slightly and since my teenage days I’ve epilated, razored and waxed to my heart’s content.

Why laser hair removal?

Consider this to be TMI but for as long as I can remember I’ve suffered from numerous amount of ingrown hairs, hideous shaving bumps, 5’oclock shadows and some hair that would grow back within 6 hours. 6 HOURS! For years I’ve been conscious of my hair – particularly my bikini line. So, at the beginning of the year (after waxing failed me and left me with further ingrown hairs), I bit the bullet and decided that I had nothing to lose – apart from my hair!

Almost 3 months in, I’m discussing my experience with laser hair removal so far. Not just because it’s changed my life already but also because it’s drastically altered how I feel about my body. However, what works for me may not work for everyone. Note: we all have different hair types and this is a key thing to note when starting laser hair removal.

The beginning of laser hair removal

Luckily, I came across Lottie and Lois’s clinic – a family run business made up of mother and daughter – and before I knew it, I had booked my first appointment to start treatment on my bikini line. Ekkk. My first appointment was a consultation – where Lottie tested my skin, talked me through the process and then confirmed my skin was ok to continue with the treatment. Amazing. 2 sessions in 1. According to Lottie, my hair was perfect for laser hair removal – dark and coarse – and of course, that was music to my ears!

Most people nowadays have heard of laser hair removal, however, some people (including me) may not have heard of Soprano ICE Laser – which is what Hampshire Laser Clinic use for their treatments. This particular laser uses SHR technology meaning that it’s unique gradual heating method effectively damages the hair follicles while avoiding injury to the surrounding skin. It also meant that it was virtually pain-free. Winner.

The first treatment (end of January) took roughly 10 minutes. After Lottie applied the gel, she then began gliding the laser over my bikini line backwards and forth very quickly. If you’ve ever had an ultrasound before, then it’s exactly like that. In fact, the gel was quite soothing and thanks to its coolness, you barely feel the laser zapping away. Within 10 minutes my treatment was done and I was free to leave with a post-care leaflet.

Aftercare is pretty simple when it comes to laser hair removal, and if I’m honest, I didn’t experience any side effects such as redness and soreness. In fact, it was as if I had never been lasered!

Laser hair removal

The results

Probably the only reason you’re here, right? If I’m honest, I didn’t see any results straight away – which isn’t unusual. That’s just me being mega impatient *inserts halo emoji*. In fact, my hair started growing just two days after my treatment. BUT, wait for it… The results came a week after my treatment when I shaved my bikini line for the first time.

So, a week and a few days after I shaved my bikini line for the first time after laser hair removal, I was relieved (and quite surprised) to see that the hairs on my bikini line were simply… not there. Aka, they hadn’t grown back as quickly as they would have before my treatment. Bullseye. In fact, my bikini line hair started to regrow about 2 weeks after – just in time to shave again for my second treatment. Pretty impressive for hair that usually regrows a day after shaving, huh?

When it came to my second laser hair removal treatment (exactly a month later), I decided to bite the bullet again and asked Lottie to go a little further and remove the lot. Yes, the lot! Bye bye hair in my entire ladies region. Lols. Lottie made me feel completely at ease during my entire treatment, because let’s face it, having someone noise around in your ladies region isn’t the most relaxing thing, huh. Especially when they’re zapping away! But, with Lottie’s chatter and friendliness, I felt completely at ease. So with the slight extra work, my second treatment lasted roughly 15 minutes – if that!

As for the results after my second treatment, my hair has completely changed! Yes, it’s still growing back, but nowhere near like it used to! Here are the results I’ve experienced after just two treatments…

  • Most of my hair takes slightly longer than two weeks to grow back
  • However, my bikini line barely grows back within the space of 4 weeks (that’s had a total of two treatments)
  • No more itchy post-shave nightmares
  • No more red shaving bumps
  • My hair has gone from being extremely coarse to extremely soft. I’m still suffering from ingrown hairs but I’ve come to learn that this is simply down to the type of skin I have, sadly. However, I’m hopeful that in a few months time, the hairs will continue to fall out (yup, they’re also doing that) and there will be no more left for ingrowns! Heaven.

Would I recommend laser hair removal?

100%! Whilst it’s not the cheapest option out there for hair removal, it’s totally worth it and as I like to say it, it’s an investment to freedom! Plus, if you’re already paying for monthly waxes (like I was), it works out that you’ll end up saving money in the long run. The thing I love most about my results? I’m now able to chuck on my swimsuit without worrying about my bikini line, and trust me, for a coarse hair girl like me, it’s bliss. Pure bliss.

Speaking of money, Hampshire Laser Clinic easily work around your budget – whatever it may be! Something that many clinics out there don’t do and instead, work with a set price. Prices start from £20 including a free consultation and they’re able to cover lots of areas including lip, chin, chest, back, legs, bikini, underarms and arms.

I’m back to the clinic next week for my third treatment and hopefully, the results will continue to shine! If you’re interested in hearing about my results a little later down the line – particularly after – then let me know in the comments below! Here’s to no more razors and a lot more freedom! Woop.

I’ve had laser hair removal before on my legs, but I have to say I was always scared of having it on my intimate areas due to the fact that the skin there is super sensitive. If you say it’s not painful, I might just give it a go as I’m soooo fed up with bumps and little cuts. I never seem to be able to get a smooth finish

Another excellent feature is that it comes with different adapters, so I can choose on with the largest area for removing the stubborn leg hairs. In my point of view, the results are comparable to the professional laser machines in the beauty salon.

Thanks for sharing. It’s great when people talk about experiences like this because even though you say it’s TMI, I’m pretty sure lots of people have the same issues 🙂 Even men.
Regarding the laser, I do run a laser clinic with my husband (a doctor), and we try to keep our clinic up to date with the ‘latest and greatest.’ I would say the GentleMax Pro is probably the best one out there now. Not that the one you used would be bad at all. We explain how these lasers work for different needs here https://www.bclaserandskincare.com/2009/03/whats-the-best-laser-for-hair-removal/

Regarding the price, yes waxing can cost money, but remember your time is also valuable! Laser hair removal can be quite cheap to do nowadays. It has really advanced a lot with technology, and is barely painful anymore like it used to be. The main caution is to go with a safe, highly trained clinic, ideally run by a doctor. Lasers are very powerful and need to be used carefully. They look so simple as they ‘zap’ you with a few buttons on a screen, but there is more to this treatment than that.

And yeah, laser hair removal providers deal with the lady parts all the time – it doesn’t phase them!

The fact that The Aesthetic Clinic uses laser technology for hair removal is impressive, as this is one of the most effective methods for achieving permanent hair reduction. Knowing that a professional clinic is performing the procedure gives me peace of mind, especially since laser hair removal requires specialized training and experience to be performed safely and effectively.

It’s also great to see that The Aesthetic Clinic offers personalized treatment plans based on individual skin and hair types. This shows that they are dedicated to providing the best possible results for their clients, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Overall, I would definitely consider The Aesthetic Clinic for laser hair removal based on this article. Thanks for sharing this valuable information and for highlighting a reputable clinic that offers this service! Visit for more info https://www.theaestheticclinic.net/
