Treatments are designed to be comfortable. Our laser systems feature a light gold cooling tip that continuously cools the skin’s surface, significantly reducing heat sensation or discomfort during treatment. Most clients describe the feeling as a light flick or warm pulse.
Unwanted Hair: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
at The Axis Clinic in London
What Is Unwanted Hair?
Unwanted or excessive hair growth is a common concern that can affect both men and women. It may be caused by genetics, hormonal changes, or medical conditions, and can appear on areas such as the face, legs, arms, underarms, chest, back, and bikini line. Traditional methods like shaving, waxing, or threading offer temporary results and can often lead to irritation or ingrown hairs.
At The Axis Clinic in North London, we provide a long-term, comfortable solution through advanced Laser Hair Removal.
What treatments are available for Unwanted Hair at The Axis Clinic?
We offer Advanced Laser Hair Removal using InMode’s FDA-approved technology, providing safe, effective, and long-lasting results for all skin types and hair tones.
We use Diolaze Dark Fusion (810/1064), specially developed for darker skin tones, and Diolaze Light Fusion (755/810), which is ideal for lighter complexions and finer hair. Both systems allow for precise, comfortable treatments tailored to your unique skin and hair characteristics.
Laser hair removal works by delivering short pulses of light that target melanin within the hair follicle. The energy destroys the follicle’s ability to regrow hair, and the treated hairs naturally shed within about two weeks.
What Causes Unwanted Hair?
Unwanted hair can develop for a variety of reasons, including genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, and certain medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Other factors such as medications, pregnancy, or ageing can also trigger excess hair growth in areas like the face, underarms, chest, back, and bikini line.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Laser hair removal works by directing precise pulses of light into the hair follicle, where the energy is absorbed by melanin. This process damages the follicle’s ability to produce new hair, resulting in long-term reduction and smoother skin over time.
Is Laser Hair Removal safe for all skin types?
Yes. At The Axis Clinic in North London, we use InMode’s Diolaze systems, which feature dual wavelengths that safely and effectively treat all skin tones and hair types. Our medical practitioners adjust the settings to suit your unique skin and hair characteristics for optimal safety and results.
Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?
How many sessions will I need?
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to target follicles during their active growth phase. Most clients achieve optimal results after six to eight sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, with occasional maintenance treatments as needed.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice a reduction in hair growth after just one or two sessions, with smoother, clearer skin developing as treatments progress. The treated hairs usually fall out within two weeks of each session.
Is there any downtime?
There’s no downtime required. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity immediately after treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours. You can return to normal activities right away, though we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and applying SPF daily.
Can Laser Hair Removal treat ingrown hairs?
Yes. Laser Hair Removal not only reduces unwanted hair but also helps prevent ingrown hairs and irritation caused by shaving or waxing, making it ideal for clients prone to bumps or inflammation.
