Laser 99

If you're in perimenopause and thinking about laser, please don't wait. Here's why timing actually matters.

Laser targets pigment in the hair. As hormones shift during perimenopause, hair can gradually turn gray or lose pigment, and once that happens, laser has nothing to grab onto. It stops being effective, not because the treatment failed, but because the hair itself has changed.

This isn't about creating urgency for the sake of it, it's genuinely one of the most common things I have to explain to clients who come in a few years later than they wish they had. The hair you have right now, with pigment still in it, is treatable. Waiting doesn't make the decision easier, it can make the option disappear.

If you've been putting this off, 'I'll get to it eventually,' I'd rather you come in now while it's still fully on the table for you.

Book a consultation and let's talk about where you are in that window.

Nobody tells you PCOS can change where your hair grows until it's already happening to you.

Facial hair along the jaw and chin. Chest hair. Sideburns that suddenly need managing. Ni**le hair. These aren't random, they're driven by the same hormonal shifts, elevated androgens changing how and where your hair follicles behave. If you've been quietly dealing with any of this and wondering why nobody warned you, it's because most clinics aren't set up to talk about it, let alone treat it properly.

This is the exact reason I built Laser 99 around treating the harder cases. Generic laser settings built for 'average' hair growth often don't cut it for PCOS-driven hair, it needs a specialist who understands the hormonal side, not just the hair on the surface.

If you've been managing this alone, plucking and shaving and hoping nobody notices, I want you to know there's a plan for this, and it starts with a proper consultation, not guesswork.

Book in and let's build a plan that actually accounts for what your body is doing.

Want laser to actually work for you?

It starts with your consultation.

✨ We'll chat through your medical history, any medications and your skin goals

✨ We'll assess your skin and hair type to choose the right settings

✨ We'll do a patch test and wait before your first full session, so we know how your skin responds

✨ You'll leave knowing how many sessions to expect and what results look like

How to prep:
🎀 Avoid sun, sunbeds and fake tan in the weeks before (tanned skin = higher risk

🎀 Shave the area the day before, but no waxing, plucking or threading, as we need the root there

🎀 Pause retinols, acids and exfoliants on the area for a few days

🎀 Tell us about any new medication, especially antibiotics or acne treatments

🫧 Come with clean skin, no makeup, lotion or deodorant on the area

We don't do "one setting fits everyone" at Laser 99, and that's exactly why your aftercare game needs to step up too. 🔥

Rule number 1, and it's non-negotiable: NO heat. No hot showers, no sauna, no sunbeds, no strenuous workouts for at least 24-48 hours after your session.

We customise your settings higher than most high-street clinics dare to, because that's what actually gets rid of stubborn hair (hormonal, PCOS-driven, ingrown, all of it) instead of just thinning it out. That power means your skin needs proper care to heal and show you the results you're paying for.

Skipping aftercare after a treatment like this is like skipping the cool-down after a proper workout. You'll feel it, and your results won't be what they should be.

This is exactly the kind of thing I talk through with every client at consultation, what your skin needs, what your hair is actually doing, and how to protect your results. If you've never had someone explain this to you properly, that's the gap we ALWAYS fill.

Let's just say it: ni**le hair is normal, and yes, we treat it.

I can't tell you how many clients whisper this question to me at the end of a consultation, after we've already talked about everything else, like it's the one thing too embarrassing to say out loud. It's not. Hormones cause hair growth in places that have nothing to do with hygiene or how 'clean' you are. It's biology, not a flaw.

At Laser 99, ni**le hair removal is a listed, explicitly named service, not a whispered add-on you have to work up the courage to ask for. You will never have to feel awkward bringing it up with me, because I will bring it up first if it helps you feel more comfortable.

If this is something you've been sitting on, quietly Googling at 1am, wondering if you're the only one, you're not, and you don't have to keep wondering.

Book a consultation and let's talk about it properly, no whispering required.

"Laser doesn't work on red or auburn hair"

is the most repeated lie in this industry.

And most clinics say it because it's easier than doing the actual work.

It's not your hair colour that's the problem, it's the settings.

Last week a gorgeous auburn client walked into the clinic convinced laser would never work for her. She'd been told no by other places.

We didn't just take her word for it or ours either.

We tested a few different settings across different areas of her skin. No package pushed on her, no payment taken, no pressure to commit. We told her straight: come back in a few weeks and let's see what actually happened before you spend a penny.

She came back. We'd found the exact setting that worked for her hair colour and skin tone. Turns out "it doesn't work" just meant nobody had bothered to customise it for her.

This is the difference between a machine operator and an actual specialist.

If you've been told laser "just won't work" for you, I'd bet money it's the clinic, not your hair.

It really is the best part of the job...

Seeing returning clients, with a beaming smile on their face after slowing the growth of the hair they once felt so embarrassed about, not having to constantly be shaving & feeling confident in their own skin.

Name a better feeling than that, I'll wait!
