Laser hair removal offers a convenient, long-term solution to unwanted hair. Whether you’re tired of shaving, waxing or dealing with ingrown hairs, treatment can leave your skin smoother while reducing the need for regular hair removal.

At Face Oxford, we use the advanced Motus AY laser, combining Alexandrite and Nd:YAG technology with innovative Moveo delivery. This allows us to treat a wide range of skin types comfortably while tailoring treatment to your individual skin tone, hair type and goals.

Every treatment begins with a consultation and patch test to ensure laser hair removal is safe, suitable and personalised to you.

Laser hair removal works by delivering light energy into the pigment (melanin) within the hair follicle. The energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicle and reduces its ability to produce new hair.

Hair grows in cycles, and laser is only effective when hairs are in their active growth phase. As not all hairs are growing at the same time, several treatments are needed to achieve the best possible results.

Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated.

Small areas such as the upper lip may take only a few minutes, while larger areas such as full legs or back can take up to an hour. During your consultation we’ll provide an estimate based on the areas you’d like to treat.

Yes. Most people require a course of 6–8 treatments, spaced several weeks apart, although this varies depending on the treatment area, hair colour, skin type and any hormonal influences.

Hair usually becomes progressively finer, lighter and less dense throughout the course. Some people choose occasional maintenance treatments to maintain their results.

Your first appointment includes a consultation and patch test.

Before each treatment the area should be shaved (24 hours before) and cleaned. The laser handpiece is then moved continuously across the skin using Motus AY’s Moveo technology.

Most people describe treatment as feeling warm rather than painful. The integrated cooling system helps improve comfort throughout the procedure.

Temporary redness and mild swelling around the hair follicles are common and usually settle within a few hours.

Occasionally the skin may feel warm or sensitive for a day or two. We’ll provide full aftercare advice to help your skin recover comfortably and minimise the risk of complications.

A consultation and patch test are required before your first laser hair removal treatment. This allows us to assess your suitability, discuss your medical history and treatment goals, and ensure you don’t experience any unexpected reactions before booking your course.

Before treatment, you should avoid sun exposure, sunbeds and fake tan for at least 2 weeks. We also recommend stopping retinoids, AHAs and BHAs on the treatment area for 1 week beforehand. We’ll give you personalised preparation advice during your consultation.

Please shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. If the area has not been shaved, we may need to reschedule your treatment or apply an additional charge, as shaving is not included within your appointment time.

The cost of laser hair removal depends on the area being treated. We offer treatments for both small and large areas, as well as discounted courses for the best value.
