Hydrafacial vs. Microneedling: Which Is Right for You in Birmingham?
July 19, 2025
Laser hair removal is one of Birmingham’s most popular beauty treatments—but with popularity comes plenty of myths. Our experts at The Beauty Station UK are here to separate fact from fiction.
Myth 1: Laser Hair Removal Is Only for Light Skin Tones
This common misconception comes from outdated laser technology. Today, advanced laser systems—like the ones used at The Beauty Station UK—are safe and effective for all skin tones.
Our lasers can adjust wavelength and cooling to target hair follicles while protecting darker skin. We carry out in-depth consultations to customise each treatment safely and effectively for every client.
Myth 2: It’s Extremely Painful
Most clients describe laser hair removal as a mild snapping sensation, far less painful than waxing. Thanks to integrated cooling technology, discomfort is minimal and tolerable—even for sensitive areas.
Our team can also adjust the laser intensity and offer numbing options to keep your treatment as comfortable as possible.
Myth 3: Laser Hair Removal Doesn’t Work on Fine or Light Hair
While dark, coarse hair responds most quickly, newer laser systems can treat finer and lighter hair effectively with the right settings and consistency.
We design your treatment plan based on your hair type to ensure long-term, visible results—even for lighter hair colours.
Myth 4: It’s a One-Time Treatment
Laser hair removal isn’t instant. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is only effective during the active growth phase. That’s why 6–8 sessions are typically needed for lasting results.
After completing the full course, clients enjoy up to 90% permanent hair reduction—with only the occasional maintenance session required.
Myth 5: It’s Unsafe or Has Serious Side Effects
When performed by certified professionals using FDA-approved equipment, laser hair removal is extremely safe. Most side effects are mild and temporary—such as slight redness or sensitivity.
Our experienced team follows strict safety protocols and provides personalised aftercare to ensure your skin heals beautifully and safely.
