In collaboration with Glow Spa
The temperature is dropping, fashion is changing and we are starting to bundle up – so it is the perfect time to quit the waxing and start a course of laser hair removal.
Have you been considering laser hair removal? Well, winter is the perfect time to start a course. The experts at Glow have taken us through the ‘in’s and outs’ of this treatment, so you can get started with confidence!
How does laser hair removal work?
The treatment area is exposed to intense light of a single frequency. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light and converts it into heat energy that preferentially heats the hair and the root ball and reduces oxygen around the hair follicle causing damage to the hair root, reducing its ability to regrow. As the laser relies on pigment absorbing the light, the treatments work best when there is contrast between the hair and the skin tone, making it easier for the light to travel along the hair shaft. Winter is the perfect time to start a course of laser hair removal, as we bundle up against the cooler weather, our skin is also protected from the harsh rays of the sun, making it easier to avoid the sun exposure before and after your treatment.
It is essential to do your research before starting a course of treatments. Make sure you ask lots of questions, if you are confused about anything, your therapist should be able to clarify The Glow team are all fully qualified aestheticians holding internationally-recognised qualifications in Light and Laser therapies.

for you. Voice your concerns, especially if you have any medical conditions.
Is it painful?
Laser hair removal is not pain-free but the level of pain is appreciably less than waxing. The slight discomfort can best be described as the feeling of a pokey hairbrush rolling against your skin. The lasers at Glow have built in cooling systems, ensuring the surrounding areas are cooled to minimise discomfort.
How many treatments will I need?
There are several factors that determine the number of treatments you will need, including your hair colour and your skin pigmentation, your age, the time between treatments, and your hormone levels.
At Glow, treatments typically yield greater than 70 percent hair reduction within four to five treatments for most clients, and it is recommended that treatments are completed regularly every four to five weeks.
Glow offers laser hair removal for both men and women, for all body area, including intimate areas. Christmas is the time to treat yourself or a loved one, especially for those looking for a gift that is a little different or have been considering embarking on the journey to being hair-free.
This Christmas Glow is offering a 50 percent discount on single treatments and 15 percent discount on laser hair removal courses, between the 1-24th December. Details of this promotion can be found at
