What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular elective procedures in the UK. It’s an effective method for the long-term reduction or removal of unwanted hair on the face and/or body. Our Cutera Excel HR machine is specifically designed for safe and effective laser hair removal on all skin and hair types. Excel HR can be used for legs, back, arms, face, underarms, and bikini line, and results can be seen after a series of treatments.
How Excel HR works
Excel HR combines the gold standard laser wavelengths for hair removal. The 755 nm Alexandrite laser is highly absorbed by melanin making it an ideal solution for finer hair on skin types I-III. Because of the high melanin absorption characteristics, it has also been proven to provide long-term results on epidermal pigmented lesions.The 1064 nm Nd:YAG is the safest wavelength for permanent hair reduction on darker skin types and tanned skin.
Excel HR utilizes sapphire contact cooling to provide continuous cooling, maximizing our clients’ comfort and treatment safety. In a patient preference study that measured comfort and satisfaction for laser hair removal, 100% of the patient’s preferred Excel HR over a comparable, competitive laser hair removal procedure.
Before you get started

This session will also give you a chance to ask any questions you may have to one of our experienced laser therapists.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by passing a light beam through the unwanted hair area which is then absorbed by melanin (colour within the hair). This generates heat, which damages the blood supply feeding the hair and disabling the hair forming cells. If the hair follicle does not contain any pigment, the laser will not target it. In other words, if hair is grey, white, blonde or red, laser hair removal will be ineffective.
How many treatments would I need?
Most laser hair removal patients are advised to undergo at least 6 treatment sessions, spaced apart every 6-8 weeks to target follicles during the growing stage. With Cutera Excel HR technology, virtually every patient – no matter their skin or hair type – can achieve long lasting removal results for unwanted hair.
Does it hurt?
We use the Cutera Excel HR system which is considered the gold standard in laser technology and is FDA approved. The laser contains a triple sapphire cooling tip to cool before, during and after each pulse to ensure high comfort for all laser hair removal treatments. It is the least painful laser on the market.
What are the benefits of laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal has many benefits. Not only will you avoid having to deal with painful tweezing, waxing or cuts from shaving, but you can rest assured that once your laser hair removal treatments are complete, you will also save an incredible amount of time not having to worry about hair removal ever again.
Clients who suffer from ingrown hair or skin discolouration related to coarse hair, will also be happy to know that one of the most effective ways to target concerns is laser hair removal.
Is laser hair removal safe for my skin?
Yes, the excel HR combines a high-power 755nm Alexandrite laser and Cutera’s proven long-pulse 1064nm Nd-YAG laser for safe, effective high-volume hair removal on all skin types even tanned.
Do I need a skin patch test?
Yes, once your practitioner has deemed you the right candidate for laser hair removal you will require by UK law to have a patch test. This is a few shots of the laser in the area to be treated. You will then need to wait 24-48 hours to have the full procedure.
