At Cosmetology Clinic in Liverpool, we provide advanced laser hair removal for women using the medical-grade Duetto MT system.
By combining Alexandrite 755nm and Nd:YAG 1064nm laser technology, we can select the appropriate wavelength and settings for a broad range of skin tones, from very fair through to darker and Black skin.
Treatment is available for suitable areas of the face and body, with every course planned around your skin, hair and personal treatment goals.
Hair colour, thickness, density and growth rate can vary considerably. Skin tone, genetics, medication, age and hormonal changes can also affect how hair develops and responds to treatment.
For this reason, we do not apply the same treatment settings or recommend an identical course for every patient.
Before treatment begins, we will assess:
Repeated plucking, threading and waxing can take considerable time and may leave the skin looking red or feeling irritated.
Laser treatment targets suitable pigmented hairs within the follicle. Over a course of treatments, this can significantly reduce visible growth and make any remaining hair finer and easier to manage.
We will assess the pattern and cause of your facial hair before recommending treatment. Laser requires sufficient pigment within the hair, meaning white, grey, very blonde and some red hairs may not respond effectively
Polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, can cause increased facial and body hair growth.
Coarse, dark hair may develop around the chin, jawline, upper lip, neck, chest, stomach or other areas. For some women, this growth can be persistent and may require daily management.
Regular shaving, plucking or waxing can leave the skin feeling sore, irritated and uncomfortable. Laser hair removal can significantly reduce suitable dark, coarse hair and make ongoing growth easier to control. Laser does not treat PCOS or correct the underlying hormonal condition. Hormones can continue to stimulate new hair follicles, so women with PCOS may require additional sessions or occasional maintenance treatments after their initial course.
We will explain this clearly during your consultation and create a realistic treatment plan based on your individual pattern of hair growth.
You can select one area or combine several areas within a personalised course.
Laser treatment can be particularly helpful for areas that are frequently shaved or waxed. As hair growth reduces, many patients find they spend less time removing hair and experience less frequent stubble.
The bikini line is one of the most frequently requested laser hair-removal areas.
Shaving and waxing this sensitive area can sometimes result in irritation, redness, uncomfortable regrowth or ingrown hairs.
Laser treatment reduces the number and thickness of suitable hairs growing through the skin. This can make the area easier to maintain and reduce the need for frequent shaving or waxing.
Your treatment will be delivered professionally and discreetly. The exact area included will be agreed with you before your course begins so you understand what will be treated.
Underarm hair can grow back quickly after shaving, making regular maintenance inconvenient.
The contrast between pigmented hair and suitable skin tones can make the underarms a responsive treatment area for many patients.
Appointments for this smaller area are generally quick. As your course progresses, you should begin to notice reduced growth and finer remaining hair.
Laser may also help reduce problems associated with frequent shaving, such as irritation and ingrown hairs
Treating larger areas such as the legs can save considerable time compared with years of shaving or repeated waxing appointments. You may choose to treat the lower legs, upper legs or full legs depending on where unwanted hair is present. Larger areas require longer appointments, but the Duetto MT allows treatment to be delivered efficiently while cold-air cooling supports patient comfort. We will discuss appointment length, preparation and the recommended spacing of your treatments during your consultation
The Duetto MT gives us access to two established laser wavelengths. Alexandrite 755nm is particularly effective for suitable lighter skin tones with pigmented hair. It precisely targets pigment within the hair follicle
Nd:YAG 1064nm has lower absorption by the pigment in the skin and penetrates more deeply. This can make it appropriate for many darker and Black skin tones following an individual assessment. Having both technologies means your treatment can be selected according to your skin and hair rather than relying on one wavelength for every patient.

Hair grows in cycles, and laser can only effectively target a hair when it is in the appropriate active growth phase.
At any one appointment, only a proportion of hairs will be at this stage. Treatments must therefore be repeated at planned intervals to target different hairs as they enter active growth.
With each successful session, you should begin to see less regrowth and a reduction in hair thickness.
The number of treatments required varies between patients. Facial and hormonally influenced hair may respond differently from body hair and can require ongoing management.
Laser treatment is intended to produce long-term or permanent hair reduction rather than guarantee complete and permanent removal of every hair.
Once a follicle has been successfully disabled, it may no longer produce a hair. However, hormonal changes, medication, pregnancy, menopause, ageing and medical conditions can stimulate new hair growth from other follicles.
Occasional maintenance may therefore be beneficial, particularly for hormonally influenced facial hair.
At Cosmetology Clinic, your treatment includes:
Laser can significantly reduce suitable coarse, pigmented facial hair. Because PCOS can stimulate new growth, additional or maintenance treatments may be required.
No. Waxing, plucking, threading and epilating remove hair from the follicle. Shaving is normally recommended instead.
Yes. Several face or body areas can be combined within a personalised treatment plan.
No treatment can guarantee complete permanent removal of every hair. Laser is intended to achieve long-lasting or permanent hair reduction, with results varying between patients.
You will usually need to shave the treatment area before your appointment.
Do not wax, thread, pluck or epilate during your course because the hair must remain within the follicle for the laser to target it.
You must also follow the clinic’s guidance regarding sun exposure, tanning, skincare products and medication.
