Laser hair removal in Perth, Scotland
I do laser hair removal at a private studio near Perth, for women and men, on face and body. It works as a course spread over months rather than a one-off appointment, because of the hair growth cycle — which I explain below.
The laser targets pigment in the hair and heats the follicle enough to stop it producing. It only works on hair that is actively growing, and at any given moment only part of your hair is in that phase — the rest is resting or shedding and simply will not respond. That is the entire reason a course exists. Sessions four to six weeks apart catch successive waves of growth, which is why the difference after session one is modest and after session five is not.
Skin tone matters, and it changes how I work rather than whether I can work. On deeper skin tones the melanin in the skin competes with the melanin in the hair for the laser's energy, so I use lower settings and longer intervals. This is slower and it is the safe way round: pushing the power on skin that absorbs too much of it is how burns and pigment changes happen.
What the laser cannot do is treat hair with no pigment. Grey, white and very fine blonde hair does not absorb enough energy for the follicle to be affected, and no setting changes that. If that is what you are hoping to treat, I will say so plainly at the consultation — before you commit to a course.
What a session looks like
- 1
Consultation and patch test: I check your skin type and hair, go through medications and sun exposure, and test a small area. Required before the first treatment.
- 2
Before each session: shave the area a day or so beforehand, and no waxing, plucking or epilating for four weeks — the laser needs the root in place. Avoid sun and fake tan on the area.
- 3
Treatment: quick, with a cold snap at each pulse. An upper lip takes minutes; legs take longer.
- 4
Between sessions: some shedding over the following weeks is normal and is the hair leaving, not regrowing. Keep the area out of direct sun.

Before you book
Laser hair removal is not suitable during pregnancy, on recently tanned or sunburnt skin, over tattoos, or alongside certain photosensitising medications and recent oral acne treatment. It does not work on grey, white or very fine blonde hair. Results and the number of sessions vary between individuals, and hormonal conditions such as PCOS can mean maintenance sessions are needed long term.
