Laser hair removal treatments have quickly become the go-to method for achieving smooth, healthy skin and reducing unwanted hair. Unlike traditional methods like shaving, waxing, tweezing, and hair removal creams, these treatments offer a safer and more effective solution. By targeting hair follicles, this procedure not only results in outstanding hair reduction but also eliminates the hassle of dealing with ingrown hairs and constant shaving. With recommended sessions scheduled every 4-6 weeks, you can enjoy long-lasting results and nourished skin. Say goodbye to painful hair removal techniques and embrace the convenience and effectiveness of modern hair removal treatments.
HOW LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORKS
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin in hair follicles. The heat generated damages the follicles, slowing future hair growth. It’s important to note that laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair and lighter skin tones however our technology using FDA approved Cynosure Elite+ allows safe treatment of all skin colors and types. For best results a series of laser hair removal is recommended to treat unwanted hair at all three cycles of hair growth, this is why your therapist may recommend a series or package for you to achieve your desired goals.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL BEFORE AND AFTERS:
HOW MANY SESSIONS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL DO I NEED?

Many patients find they need 10 sessions to start their laser hair removal journey with top up maintenence yearly. Reduce unwanted hair by 90% with laser hair removal.
HOW MUCH IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal starts from £45 per session however many clinics charge higher fees and costs for laser hair removal– and we want to change that. The cost to wax monthly per year is on average £400 – compared to a permanent solution for bikini hair for £300 at 10 sessions at VIVA making laser much more affordable with less time spent shaving or booking messy wax appointments- At VIVA we believe pricing should be transparent and affordable, we offer finance with Paypal, Clearpay and Humm to make hair removal affordable and achievable.
WHAT AREAS CAN I GET LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser treatments can be performed on various areas of the body, both large and small. Laser hair removal is suitable for both men and women. Laser hair removal is versatile and effective for reducing unwanted hair in many areas. Here are some common areas where laser hair removal can be done such as bikini line, back, men’s chest, legs and face.
IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL ONLY FOR FAIR SKIN?
No, we offer laser hair removal for all skin colors at VIVA. This is a common concern as many lasers in the past and IPL are not safe for all skin colors. By using a laser machine with two optional settings we can target different hair thickness and keep all skin colors safe. However, laser works by targeting dark hair on light skin so you may need more sessions if you have very light hair or darker skin.
CAN I GET LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN THE SUMMER?
Yes you can- the main contrainidication that may occur in the summer is tanning. This is because tanning can affect the safety and effectiveness of the procedure due to the interaction between the laser and the melanin in the skin. Here is why tanned skin should be avoided for laser hair removal:
- Skin Sensitivity: Tanning, whether from natural sunlight, tanning beds, or self-tanning products, can increase the sensitivity of your skin. Laser treatments may already cause some discomfort or redness, and tanning can exacerbate these effects, potentially leading to more irritation or even mild burns.
- Skin Pigmentation: Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin in hair follicles. Darker skin caused by tanning increases the overall melanin content in your skin, making it more challenging for the laser to distinguish between the pigment in the hair and the pigment in the surrounding skin. This can lead to less effective treatments and an increased risk of side effects like burns or skin discoloration.
- Uneven Results: If you tan between laser hair removal sessions, your skin tone might become uneven. This can make it difficult for the laser to consistently target the hair follicles, potentially leading to varied results and the need for additional sessions.If you want the best results we recommend temporarily elimnate toipical tanners and tanning in the area that you are lasering.
- Post-Treatment Care: After laser hair removal, your skin can be sensitive and might require extra care. Tanning, whether natural or artificial, can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
To ensure the best possible results and minimize the risk of complications, we recommend avoiding tanning for at least four weeks before and after each laser hair removal session.
