Within two treatments, in addition to the hair removal, I have noticed that the scarring on my face (due to a childhood accident) has reduced by 95%. I am really pleased with the results for the hair removal and the effect on the scarring has been a bonus. A lot of people have commented on how much better it's looking. So glad I came to the clinic." H.M, Chatham "I spoke to the therapist regarding the hairs on my legs, my main concern was that even when I shaved you could see the dark hairs. I now have had three treatments and the darkness that worried me the most has gone and further more the hairs are a lot less. So glad I was told about the clinic, everyone is so helpful and understanding." K.K, Gravesend "I have PCOS and as a result of that I had some unwanted facial hair growing. I've had 3 treatments of laser so far and 90% of the hair is no longer growing back. I think it’s a great success and well worth the money." ""
