Before and after
What Our Clients Had To Say
“WISH I HAD DONE IT SOONER! Well what can I say about my laser treatment with Chloe, from the start Chloe explained everything to me, and I felt completely at ease with her... I booked 6 sessions and today was number 3 and I would say my hair is nearly gone! Amazing results clean professional approach, completely happy. And Chloe is just professional and lovely, should have done it sooner.”
“Have had a course for underarm laser hair removal. What an amazing procedure. Nothing has grown back since my final session in December. Highly recommend this painless course with friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff.”
“I've had such amazing results from laser hair removal! I'm so glad I made the investment into myself. I have half legs, underarms and hollywood done and it hardly takes any time at all and is virtually pain free (it can be totally pain free if you choose!) I've had 4 sessions so far, each session 6 weeks apart, and I barely need to shave in between. It's amazing! I saw results even after 1 session. I'm also so glad I chose Charisma. The ladies are so lovely and put you at ease straight away.”
Your Laser Hair Removal Journey with Charisma...
Begins with a consultation and patch test.
We take our time and are extremely thorough during the consultation. This is our first step to understanding your goals. We like to make sure that you understand the procedure and how the treatment works. At this appointment we analyse your skin and hair type to determine the correct settings for you and carry out a patch test on an area of hair to ensure you are suitable for treatment.
We advise on how many treatments will be required, how frequent you must have them and we make your next appointment for your first full treatment before you leave.
We wait a minimum of 7 days between the patch test and first full appointment. Appointments are spaced between 4 - 8 weeks depending on the area to be treated. Our highly trained practitioners deliver the highest quality of treatment, in the safest most effective way.
Areas of Treatment
Prior to any single or course of treatment a consultation including patch test is required. At time of consultation our laser expert will give you professional advice and advise on the length of course required to gain maximum results.
Consultation price £30 – this is redeemable against a course of treatment.

How Laser Hair Removal Works...
Ever wondered how laser hair removal makes unwanted hair disappear? Let's break it down in simple terms! Laser hair removal uses a special kind of light. It targets the hair follicles (the roots of your hair) without bothering your skin. Hair grows in different phases, and laser works best when your hair is actively growing. It's called the Anagen stage.
Finding the Hair: The laser looks for the colour in your hair called melanin.
Turning Light into Heat: Once the laser finds your hair, it sends a special light that turns into heat. This heat goes straight to the hair roots and destroys the hair root say.
Staying Cool: Don't worry; your skin stays cool. Our laser machine has cool tip technology to keep your skin comfy during the process.
Laser Hair Removal and PCOS...
Are you tired of the endless battle against unwanted hair caused by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)? We understand the frustration, and that's why we're here to shed light on how Laser Hair Removal can be a game-changer in managing PCOS-related hair growth. However, it's crucial to set realistic expectations.
If you are suffering with PCOS, we have a blog which details how it can help.

As we need to target the hair when it is in growth stage we recommend you do not use any of these methods of hair removal 1 month prior to treatment. For treatment to be effective the hair must be present in the follicle.
