What Is Laser Hair Removal for Women?
Laser hair removal is a medical treatment that reduces unwanted hair by targeting the follicles with light energy. The pigment in the hair absorbs the laser light, generating heat that damages the follicle and slows future growth, without harming the surrounding skin.
For women, it offers a genuine long-term alternative to shaving, waxing and plucking. At Dr Tanov Aesthetics in Newcastle, we use an advanced, medical-led laser suitable for all skin types, and we tailor every treatment plan to your skin, hair, and goals.

How Does Laser Hair Removal for Women Work?
The laser targets hair during its active growth phase, while it is still attached to its root. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and turns into heat, which damages the follicle and slows future growth.
Not all of your hairs are in this phase at the same time, which is why you need a course of sessions. Each visit treats a new set of active follicles, so the reduction builds gradually and the hair that does grow back becomes finer, lighter and far less noticeable.
Most women need around 6 to 8 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart depending on the area. Facial areas respond best to sessions every 4 to 6 weeks, while body areas are spaced further apart. After each session, the treated hairs shed naturally within 1 to 3 weeks.

Brand-new Medical-led Laser: Gold Standard Technology
We use an advanced medical-led laser system regarded as the gold standard in hair removal. The wavelength works brilliantly on lighter skin, while the Nd:YAG wavelength treats darker skin tones safely, so we can tailor every session to you.
The system also includes a dynamic cooling device that releases a fine cool mist before each pulse. This protects your skin and improves comfort, making each session quick and far more comfortable than waxing.

Laser vs Waxing vs Shaving: Which Is Right for You?
Shaving and waxing only ever give you temporary results. Laser works on the root of the problem.
| Feature | Laser | Waxing | Shaving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Results | Long-lasting reduction | Lasts 3–4 weeks | Lasts 1–2 days |
| Regrowth | Finer and lighter | Same thickness | Stubbly and fast |
| Ingrown hairs | Greatly reduced | Common | Very common |
| Skin irritation | Minimal | Painful pulling | Rash, nicks and cuts |
| Long-term cost | One course, then top-ups | Ongoing for life | Ongoing for life |
Laser is not effective on white, grey, blonde or light red hair, and is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Who Is Suitable for Laser Hair Removal?
Our practitioner assesses your skin and hair and always performs a patch test first.
Dark hair

Any skin tone
Any skin tone, from fair to dark, treated safely by the dual-wavelength laser.
Want long-term reduction
Anyone wanting a long-term reduction in unwanted face or body hair.
Ingrown hairs & sensitivity

Please note: the laser is not effective on white, grey, blonde or light red hair, and treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your practitioner will confirm your suitability at your consultation.
PCOS, Menopause and Hormonal Hair Growth
Excess facial or body hair is one of the most common and most frustrating symptoms of hormonal changes. PCOS, the menopause and other hormonal shifts can trigger fast-growing hair on the chin, jaw, neck, chest and stomach, and shaving it every day can wear down anyone’s confidence.
Laser hair removal is a very popular choice for hormonal hair because it significantly reduces hair density in the affected areas. Because hormonal activity can keep stimulating new follicles, we build you a realistic plan from day one, which usually means:
- A full initial course of around 8 sessions to bring the area under control
- Facial sessions spaced every 4 to 6 weeks, where hormones have the strongest influence
- Occasional maintenance sessions afterwards to keep the results at their best
- Kind, judgement-free care from a female practitioner at every visit

Laser Hair Removal Process for Women
A step-by-step breakdown of your treatment journey.
Consultation
A trained practitioner conducts a thorough skin and hair assessment, reviews your medical history, grades your skin tone and hair colour using the Fitzpatrick scale, and recommends the right wavelength, treatment plan, and number of sessions for you.
Patch Test
A patch test is always performed before your first full session. The laser is applied to a small, discreet area to confirm your skin responds well and to set the safest, most effective settings. Allow 24 to 48 hours before your first full session.
Preparation
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before each session, leaving the follicle root intact for the laser to target. Do not wax, pluck or thread beforehand, and avoid sun exposure and fake tan for at least four weeks before each session.
Treatment
Your skin is cleansed, and you are given protective goggles. The handpiece delivers precise pulses to each follicle while the dynamic cooling device releases a fine cool mist before each pulse to keep you comfortable. Small areas take around 15 minutes, and larger areas take up to 60 minutes.
Aftercare
A soothing gel is applied to calm the skin, and you receive clear, simple aftercare instructions to follow at home. You can return to work and your normal routine straight away.
Follow-Up Sessions
Sessions are spaced 4 to 12 weeks apart depending on the area and your hair growth cycle. We recommend a full course of around 8 sessions for the best long-lasting results, with occasional annual maintenance afterwards.
How to Prepare and Care for Your Skin
Before Your Session
- Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment
- Do not wax, pluck or thread - the laser needs the root in place
- Avoid sun exposure, sunbeds and fake tan for four weeks beforehand
- Arrive with clean skin, free of make-up, creams and deodorant
- Tell us about any new medication or skin changes
After Your Session
- Apply a soothing gel or aloe vera to calm any redness or warmth
- Wear SPF 50 daily and keep the area out of the sun for two weeks
- Skip saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and vigorous exercise for 48 hours
- Shave between sessions if you wish, but never wax, pluck or thread
- Keep the skin clean and moisturised, and attend every session as planned

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal painful?
Our advanced laser is one of the most comfortable systems available. The dynamic cooling device releases a cool mist before each pulse, and most women describe the sensation as a brief warm snap, similar to the flick of a rubber band, and far more comfortable than waxing. Numbing cream is not needed for most areas, though we can use it for sensitive areas on request.
How many sessions will I need?
We recommend a full course of around 8 sessions for most women, though the exact number depends on the area, your hair density, hair colour, skin type and how your body responds. Facial areas, which are strongly influenced by hormones, may need slightly more. You get a clear, honest estimate at your consultation.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
After a full course, most women see a significant, long-lasting reduction, and any hair that regrows tends to be much finer and lighter. Follicles that have been fully treated do not usually produce hair again. For hormone-influenced areas such as the face and bikini line, one or two maintenance sessions a year help keep results at their best, and results vary from person to person.
Does it work on facial hair?
Yes, and it is one of the most popular treatments among our female patients. The upper lip, chin, jaw, cheeks and sides of the face are all commonly treated. Facial hair in women can be caused by genetics, hormonal changes, the menopause or PCOS, and facial areas typically need sessions every 4 to 6 weeks.
Can laser hair removal help with PCOS hair growth?
Yes. PCOS can cause excess or fast-growing hair on the face, chin, neck, chest, and stomach, and laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair density in these areas. Because hormonal activity can keep stimulating new follicles, women with PCOS may need occasional maintenance sessions after the initial course, and we build a realistic plan that accounts for this.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, when the right technology is used. The laser is a dual-wavelength system, so we can select the Nd:YAG wavelength for darker skin. It penetrates deeper with a much lower risk of affecting surface pigmentation, and we always confirm your settings with a patch test.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes, and we encourage it. Shaving keeps the area tidy without disturbing the root that the laser needs to target. You must not wax, pluck, thread, or use depilatory creams between sessions, as these remove the hair at the root and reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.
Can I have laser hair removal while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. As a precaution, laser hair removal is not suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. You are welcome to book a consultation in the meantime, and we can plan your course so you are ready to start at the right time.
What are the side effects?
You may notice mild redness, slight swelling around the follicles or a warm, sunburn-like feeling for a few hours after treatment. Treated hairs can look darker before they shed over 1 to 3 weeks, which is completely normal. Temporary changes in skin colour are rare and mostly linked to sun exposure close to a session, which the cooling system and good aftercare help prevent.
How should I look after my skin afterwards?
Apply a soothing gel or aloe vera, wear SPF 50 daily and keep the area out of the sun for two weeks. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and vigorous exercise for 48 hours; do not use fake tan or sunbeds for four weeks either side of a session; and keep the skin clean and moisturised between appointments.
When will I see results?
After each session, the treated hairs shed over the following 1 to 3 weeks, leaving the area noticeably smoother. Hair density reduces progressively, and most women notice a clear difference after the third or fourth session, with results continuing to improve for several weeks after the final one.
How much does laser hair removal for women cost?
Single sessions start from £9.95 for the centre brow, with popular choices such as lip and chin from £29.95 and full body from £249.95 per session. Courses of 3, 6 and 10 sessions bring the per-session price down significantly, and you can spread the cost over 3 interest-free instalments with Klarna.
