Laser Hair Removal (ALEXPRO)
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to reduce unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses short pulses of light energy to damage hair follicles, helping to prevent regrowth. This treatment is known for the most effective and longest-lasting hair reduction results.
Multiple laser hair removal treatments are required for initial hair reduction, as well as maintenance treatments.
Laser hair removal is suitable for men and women of all skin tones. It works on the entire body, including sensitive areas such as the face and bikini line. Popular areas include facial hair, legs, bikini area, underarms, back and chest.
We offer a range of laser hair removal treatments and packages for men and women in many UK cities.
Hair colour and skin type affect the success of laser hair removal. The basic principle is that the hair pigment, but not the skin pigment, should absorb the light. The laser should only damage the hair follicle, avoiding damage to the skin.
Laser hair removal can achieve a reduction of up to 90%. Any hair that grows back will be finer, lighter and softer, with the added benefit of smoother skin.
Laser hair removal significantly reduces the need for shaving and waxing, so no more ingrown hairs, shaving rash or stubble. Lasers are more effective when hair is in the early stages of growth.
Biotec Xlase Plus is suitable for all skin tones and for most body areas and hair types. Skin with tattoos should also not be treated.
As not all hair will be at the same stage at the same time, multiple treatment sessions will usually be required to achieve permanent hair reduction. Both Xlase Plus customers and the laser manufacturer report very high levels of satisfaction and long-term efficacy following the laser hair removal process.
The new XLase Plus from Biotec is a single versatile laser platform for multiple treatments. Its modular design provides many different aesthetic solutions – all built into one compact device 100% made in Italy. It is an FDA-certified medical laser. Each technology (separate heads) – can be attached at any time, guaranteeing perfect adaptation to the therapeutic needs. Due to 16 years of experience in the field of laser therapy, we combine our heads (AlexPro (Dual), ND:Yag, CPL) during treatments in order to provide you with the highest comfort and effectiveness of treatments to the maximum. We work with unique treatment protocols. You won’t find these at other laser operators.
It is recognised as a completely pain-free laser!
The first treatment of Laser Hair Removal is preceded by a dermatological consultation. Our qualified Clients will have a patch test, to determine the optimum treatment parameters for the skin phototype.
the treatment area must not be dry or irritated, if required, emollients (moisturising cream, exfoliating cream, soothing cream) should be used a few days earlier
day before the first procedure the treatment area must be shaved – a square of about 5cm should be left to evaluate the colour and thickness of the hair, this area will then be shaved by the person performing the treatment
avoid aspirin and other blood thinners
the skin should not be tanned (suntan, self-tanner)
important – 24 hours before and after the procedure do not consume alcohol
- the skin should be clean – creams and lotions shouldn’t be used

The procedure does not require anaesthesia. The laser is most often felt as a minor stinging, burning or pinching, which may be increased when treatment is performed on more sensitive areas of the body. Slight redness occurs in the treatment areas. The person conducting the treatment makes sure the Patient is comfortable. Our Clients leave the procedure feeling satisfied and excited for the upcoming effects.
Complications after Laser Hair Removal occur occasionally and are
usually associated with non-compliance of the proceedings before and after the treatment.
