Laser Hair Removal
At a Glance
Say goodbye to unwanted hair with The Laser Fix, your laser experts located within Dermoperfection in Birmingham.
What is Laser Hair Removal? With Mjoule, which utilises Forever Bare BBL technology by Sciton, BroadBand Light energy targets and injures hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin.
This advanced system targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The laser emits light energy, which is absorbed by the pigment, effectively destroying the hair follicle and preventing future hair growth.
Why choose Forever Bare BBL?
This is the safest permanent laser hair removal option, perfect for both men and women! Plus, it’s also suitable for most skin types and tones.
After a course of 5-6 treatments, you can expect 80-90% of hair to be eliminated – this is more than other traditional laser hair removal methods, including traditional IPL!
Then, you only need once or twice yearly sessions to maintain silky smooth results.
Where can I get laser hair removal?
Some of the most popular treatment areas for Forever Bare BBL include:
- The face
- Underarms
- Arms
- Legs
- Bikini area
- Chest
- Shoulders
- Back
And more!
Don’t forget, you can combine multiple areas at once to achieve all over smoothness!
Benefits of Forever Bare BBL
A key benefit of Forever Bare BBL is that it’s very comfortable – you may feel a warm, prickly sensation when the hand piece is passed over the treatment area, but this will subside within an hour.
We’ll advise you on what you can expect during and following treatment when you come for a consultation.

How long will my Laser Hair Removal treatment take?
This is dependent on the treatment area; for example, the lip and chin takes just 5 minutes, the underarms and bikini area take 15 minutes and bigger areas like the arms, legs and back take 30-45 minutes.
How many Laser Hair Removal treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required varies based on hair type, colour and the hair growth cycle. Typically, clients need 6-8 sessions to achieve optimal results. Our specialists at The Laser Fix will create a customised treatment plan for you.
When will I see results from my Laser Hair Removal treatment?
Results vary, but most clients at The Laser Fix start noticing a reduction in hair growth after the first few sessions. Optimal results are usually seen after completing the full course of treatments, with hair becoming finer and less noticeable.
Is Laser Hair Removal suitable for all skin types?
At The Laser Fix, our laser technology is suitable for most skin types. However, during your consultation, we will assess your skin and hair type to determine the most effective treatment plan for you.
How should I prepare for my Laser Hair Removal session?
Before your appointment at The Laser Fix:
– Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior.
– Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks.
– Do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams for four weeks before treatment.
– Avoid using skincare products with active ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid for a few days before the session.
What should I expect after my Laser Hair Removal session?
Post-treatment, you might experience slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and apply SPF to the treated area. We recommend using soothing products like aloe vera to aid recovery.
Are there any side effects of Laser Hair Removal?
Side effects are generally minimal and temporary. You might experience slight redness, swelling or a sunburn-like sensation. These typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Our specialists at The Laser Fix will provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimise any potential side effects.
Is there any downtime after Laser Hair Removal?
There is minimal to no downtime after laser hair removal at The Laser Fix. You can typically resume your regular activities immediately following the treatment, although it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for a short period.
What should I avoid after my Laser Hair Removal treatment?
Post-treatment, avoid sun exposure, hot showers, saunas and any activity that causes excessive sweating for at least 24-48 hours. Do not apply any products with active ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid to the treated area for a few days. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin.
Can I have Laser Hair Removal over my tattoos?
No, at The Laser Fix, we cannot perform laser hair removal over tattoos. We can treat around tattooed areas, maintaining a gap of 4cm.
Can I shave between Laser Hair Removal sessions?
Yes, shaving is allowed and even recommended between your laser hair removal sessions. However, avoid waxing, plucking or using hair removal creams, as these methods remove the hair follicle, which is necessary for the laser to be effective.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding women undergo Laser Hair Removal?
While there is no conclusive evidence that laser hair removal is harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding, we recommend waiting until after this period to start or continue treatments.
