Laser Hair Removal

NHS Approved Provider

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a clinically proven long-term hair reduction method that uses laser light. This laser light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, creating heat, which damages hair follicles in such a way as to inhibit regrowth.

We have recently become an NHS approved provider for Laser hair removal.

Setsuko Beauty Clinic uses a High-Quality laser to give you the best results. We use the MOTUS AY, an Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser that can be used on all skin types. Longer-term solutions are becoming more popular, so why not choose Setsuko Beauty Clinic for Laser Hair Removal in Somerset?

Setsuko also specialises in PCOS facial hair and Hollywood Laser Hair Removal.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

1. Long-Term Hair Reduction

Reduce hair up to 85-90%.

2. Boost Confidence

Getting rid of unwanted hair can be a life-changing experience for many people.

3. Reduce Ingrown Hair

Ingrown hair can be painful and unattractive, increasing the risks of infection. Laser treatment can help to reduce ingrowing hair.

4. Save Time & Money

Can save you time and money in the long term by not repeating short-term solutions.

5. Smoother Skin

Achieve smoother skin all year round.

6. Environmentally Friendly

Every year, 2 billion razors are thrown away, but a significant amount is not in landfills, and 32% of plastic products end up in the ocean. Laser Hair Removal will significantly reduce the negative impact on our planet.

Types of Hair Removal Laser

Several types of laser can be used for hair removal. Every kind of Laser creates light at a specific wavelength:

The Alexandrite laser has a shorter wavelength compared to other hair removal lasers and has the best melanin energy absorption. As the skin can also absorb this energy, it is usually best used on people with lighter skin tones.

The Nd:YAG laser has a longer wavelength that is less easily absorbed by the skin, making the YAG laser safe and best for people with darker skin tones.

LASER or IPL HAIR REMOVAL?

Laser and IPL are not the same. Lasers are more targeted and powerful than IPL.

Lasers produce light at a specific wavelength. Several types of laser are used for hair removal: Alexandrite, Nd:YAG and Diode. Some wavelengths are absorbed more efficiently by hair and skin than others, so using the correct laser for your hair and skin colour will give you safe and effective results. 

IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. It uses a broad pulse light source; "Image a powerful camera flash". The light produced by IPL is over a range of wavelengths, so the energy is not transmitted to hair as efficiently as laser light. 

The quality of the machine, the training of the practitioner and the maintenance of the equipment can have a massive impact on the effect of treatment.  Please see further details on our FAQ.

LASER light is:

Nearly 100% of laser light is one pure colour.

Light is emitted as a relatively narrow beam in a specific direction, making the light very powerful.

The light is totally reinforcing and in phase in space and time.

IPL light is:

The light has many different colours and only a certain percentage of those colours are effective in the treatment of hair removal.

Light is emitted in many directions away from the source.

Many different wavelengths are generated and therefore some scatter in the skin.

Setsuko is a lovely lady and so very kind, when I first came for my consultation she explained thoroughly each step of the treatment and exactly what the machine did, she had prepared a slideshow and had taken the details very seriously which I really appreciate. I chose her for my treatment due to how quick she would respond, how understanding she was, she got to know me as a person and her treatment is very reasonably priced considering the machine she uses, due to the suction and the RF being delivered at the same time as the microneedling it targets much deeper than other machines I have seen. I came for treatment of stretch marks on my legs that unfortunately occurred after longterm antibiotics. My stretch marks are still fresh and red, so I’m hopeful my results will be good and the treatment will be effective, I will update once I have had more treatments and fully recovered. Today I went 1.5mm to 2mm deep microneedling and RF, I found the pain on my inner thighs very minor almost like a scratching sensation. The back of my legs near my knees was the only area I would consider painful as it was a very sharp sensation, she informed me of any side effects I could experience and regularly checked on me before raising the RF level and going deeper with the needles. It has only been a few hours since my treatment and the areas already feel fine, no itching, no stinging, hardly any redness, although I didn’t have much irritation after as she also cooled the inflamed areas. She uses antibacterial creams and anti-inflammatoires between each step. I understand everyone is different although and I have high pain tolerance.

I visited Setsuko Beauty for the first time today for intimate waxing. Setsuko was so friendly and welcoming, I felt instantly comfortable. I’ve been to many people for intimate waxing over the years and very few have been as welcoming, professional and thorough as Setsuko. She did a fantastic job and I’ve just booked my next two appointments with her. She was also kind enough to give me free advice on laser hair removal and her thoughts for treatment of a facial skin condition. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Setsuko to others.

I recently had a couple of laser hair removal sessions, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the start, Setsuko was professional and made me feel completely at ease. The clinic is clean and modern, and the procedure was quick. After just a couple treatments, I have noticed a significant reduction in hair growth. The convenience and effectiveness of laser hair removal have truly exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

I have had two sessions of laser hair removal on my jaw and chin area with Setsuko, and I can confidently say I already noticed differences in slower and finer hair growth after my first session. I have darker skin because I'm Bengali and I also have sensitive skin so I was nervous how my skin would react, but the laser used is incredible and my skin also calmed down quickly. I highly recommend Setsuko Beauty for a positive, professional and dignified experience. Thank you Setsuko!
