Male looking for LHR in London/Essex for his back

Hair Removal Methods Laser hair removal
#1

Hi all
First time poster (please be gentle!)
I have type 2 skin type (possibly even type 1- though i tan on arms and legs) and dark course hair on my back (would consider upper arm and shoulders too).
it sounds hopeful reading through the FAQs and posts I’ve seen that i could get good results.
I’m possibly looking at Laser clear and Premier laser clinic around aldgate/liverpool st- any recent users of these two clinics?
My only other concern is that I have a tattoo on one shoulder blade, so i’m assuming that the tech would avoid this area and i would have to consider another removal technique on this area to achieve even results?

Thanks

Oh I chose those two clinics as they have the gentlelase machine after reading about it.

Can you post a photo? “Coarse” is a relative term.

There are a number of good clinics recommended on this forum in London. I would run a search and start with them.

GentleLASE is good for your skin type, but you also need to make sure they will be using aggressive settings. Go in for a free test patch.

Ok I’ve looked for pics of my back, but couldnt find any…will try to get my partner to take one tomorrow.
Thnaks for the search tip, found another one that is nearby Timeless skincare in kings cross.
I saw that timeless charge £20 for a patch test - do most clinics do this?

I would say most clinics don’t charge, so I’d explore the free options first. Make sure to write down the spot size, joules, and pulse width they use on you (pulse width is not necessary to ask on GentleLASE only since it’s fixed at 3ms)

Thanks for that LA girl…makes sense to try the free options first. here’s some pics. Also any advice on the tattoo, should they work around it?

#7

Those links don’t seem to work…

Tattoos need to be covered with something white.

Dear Dannyboy,

I’m also looking for a clinic in London for same treatment and have the same skin type; where did you go for in the end? I’m considering the Private Clinic and Court House at the moment.

Best,
