Unwanted Hair

Unwanted Hair

Unwanted facial or body hair can be time-consuming to manage with shaving or waxing. Long-term hair reduction treatments can help leave skin smoother and lower-maintenance.

Understanding Unwanted Hair

Unwanted hair is extremely common and can appear on the face or body for a number of reasons.

For many people, hair growth patterns are simply influenced by genetics. Hair colour, thickness, density and growth rate can all vary naturally from person to person.

Hormonal changes can also play a role, particularly when darker or coarser hair appears in areas such as the face, chin, neck or abdomen. In some cases, this may be linked to changes in androgen levels or conditions such as PCOS.

Hair growth can also change over time due to age, medication, pregnancy, menopause or other internal shifts.

Whatever the cause, unwanted hair can affect confidence and feel frustrating to manage with shaving, waxing or threading. A consultation helps assess the area, hair type and skin type, so the most suitable treatment plan can be recommended safely.

Treatment Recommendations T r e a t m e n t R e c o m m e n d a t i o n s

Note: These are treatments provided by The Yvette Clinic in relation to a range of Unwanted Hair concerns.

It is important that you receive a course of treatment that is right for you and your particular concern. To that end, none of our treatments are undertaken until an initial assessment of your skin concern and consultation has been completed.

We offer a £45 initial consultation service, which will then be deducted from your first treatment.

Laser Hair Reduction

Laser Hair Reduction is a course-led treatment designed to reduce unwanted hair growth over time. Using advanced light-based technology, the treatment targets pigment within the hair follicle to help weaken its ability to produce new hair. It can be a useful option for clients who are tired of the regular cycle of shaving, waxing, plucking or managing ingrown hairs. At The Yvette Clinic, every treatment plan begins with a consultation, allowing Kirsty to assess your skin, hair type, treatment area and goals before recommending the most suitable approach.

Frequently Asked Questions F r e q u e n t l y A s k e d Q u e s t i o n s

Is laser hair removal suitable for everyone?

Laser hair removal can be very effective for many clients, but suitability depends on your hair colour, hair thickness, skin type and treatment area. A consultation and patch test help ensure treatment is appropriate and safe for your skin.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients need a course of treatments because hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is most effective when hairs are treated at the right stage of growth. We’ll advise on a realistic course length after assessing the area.

Can hormonal hair growth be treated?

Laser hair removal can help reduce unwanted hair, but if hair growth is linked to hormones, maintenance treatments may be needed. If there has been a sudden or significant change in hair growth, we may recommend speaking to your GP before starting treatment.
