Hair Removal

Say goodbye to shaving, waxing, and ingrown hairs. Cranley Clinic’s medical-grade laser hair removal treatments offer long-term solutions for smooth, hair-free skin using the latest technology, tailored to all skin tones and sensitivities.

Ideal For Unwanted facial or body hair on all skin types, including sensitive or darker skin tones.

Treatment Options IPL, ND:YAG laser, diode laser, or combination protocols depending on hair and skin type.

Anaesthesia None required. A cooling gel or integrated skin cooling may be used for comfort.

Treatment Time Typically 15 to 60 minutes depending on area treated and hair density.

Downtime Minimal. Mild redness may occur but usually settles within hours.

Results Progressive hair reduction over 6 to 8 sessions. Maintenance may be required for optimal results.

Smooth Skin, Long-Term

Laser hair removal at Cranley Clinic uses focused light energy to penetrate the skin and target the underlying hair follicle. The hair’s melanin absorbs this energy, converting it into heat that safely destroys the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. This process results in permanent hair reduction, smoother texture, and relief from ingrown hairs and folliculitis. The treatment is fast, comfortable, and suitable for both face and body, with no recovery time required. Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear pink and feel warm, but this settles quickly. Over the following weeks, treated hairs fall out naturally, leaving skin visibly smoother with each session.

Clinical Insight

Hair Removal Considerations, Clinically Addressed

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser light penetrates the skin to target the hair follicle. The melanin pigment absorbs this light energy, which is converted into heat that disables the follicle and prevents regrowth.

How many sessions are needed?

Most patients need 6 to 8 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on skin tone, hair density, and treatment area.

Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Cranley Clinic uses ND:YAG and diode laser systems proven to safely treat all skin tones, including darker complexions.

Will the hair grow back?

Hair regrowth is significantly reduced and often permanently diminished. Some patients choose yearly top-up sessions to maintain results.

The treatment I had at the Cranley Clinic was excellent. Mr Ali Ghanem is clearly an expert in his field. He also has an exceptionally warm personality which puts you at ease straight away. The treatment is amazing but subtle. Everyone on the Cranley team, whom I met and spoke with at various times, were really lovely; I can highly recommend both the Clinic and of course Mr Ghanem.
