Why UP®

Why clients choose UP®

A different approach to laser hair removal: advanced technology, structured programmes and treatment decisions guided by your progress.

02

One of the most advanced laser platforms available

UP® uses the Lumenis Splendor X Midnight Edition™, combining Alexandrite 755 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm technology. Its large square spot can cover up to 27 mm, allowing faster, more even treatment across larger areas while reducing the overlap and gaps that can occur with smaller circular spot patterns.

03

Treatment that changes as you progress

Laser should not be delivered at the same settings and intervals indefinitely. We review your response throughout the programme and adjust wavelength balance, energy, timing and treatment strategy as hair density and growth patterns change.

04

Greater comfort without compromising the treatment plan

Splendor X combines integrated Cryo-Touch™ contact cooling with Cryo-Air™ cooling to protect and cool the skin throughout treatment. This allows us to approach comfort as part of the treatment system rather than simply reducing settings to make an appointment easier to tolerate.

05

Experienced practitioners working within a clinical framework

Your treatment is delivered by an experienced team using documented protocols, structured progress reviews and access to medical oversight. This is especially important when treating complex growth patterns, darker skin tones, hormonal hair or areas that have responded poorly to previous laser.


Your treatment journey

A treatment journey
built around you

Your programme is shaped around your treatment area, your starting point and the way your hair responds over time. Settings, timing and coverage are reviewed throughout, so each stage reflects your progress.

Expertly planned, carefully adjusted and supported throughout your programme.

Expert assessment from the outset

We begin with a detailed assessment of the treatment area, your skin and hair characteristics, previous laser experience and any factors that may influence your programme. Drawing on our clinical experience, we set realistic expectations and establish the most appropriate starting approach. Where suitable, your first treatment can usually take place at the same appointment.

Treatment that adapts as you progress

Settings, timing and treatment coverage are selected for your skin, hair and response, then adjusted as your programme develops. Integrated cooling is used throughout, while appointment length varies according to the treatment area and the stage of your programme.

Ongoing review, with what you need included

Your hair growth and treatment response are reviewed throughout the programme. As your results develop, settings, timing and treatment coverage can be adjusted without you having to decide whether another individual session is worth the cost. Your Unlimited programme includes the treatment and review needed during the programme term, before moving into less frequent maintenance where appropriate.

Treatment care

Before and after your appointment

A few simple steps help your treatment proceed safely, keep your skin comfortable and support consistent progress between appointments.

01 Before your appointment
  • Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment.
  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning and spray tan for at least two weeks.
  • Do not wax, pluck, thread or epilate the area for four weeks.
  • Arrive with clean skin free of lotions, oils, deodorant and tanning products.

If shaving is difficult for the treatment area, let us know in advance and we can discuss assistance in clinic.

02 After your treatment

Temporary warmth or mild sensitivity can be normal. During the first 24–48 hours:

  • Apply any aftercare products recommended by your therapist.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas and steam rooms.
  • Avoid Vitamin A, Vitamin C, AHA/BHA and other active skincare on the treated area.
  • Cleanse gently, avoid exfoliation and use a cool compress if the skin feels warm.
  • Avoid unnecessary sun exposure and apply SPF 30–50+ where exposure cannot be avoided.
03 Between appointments
  • Treated hairs may remain visible for two to three weeks before shedding naturally.
  • Shaving is permitted if required, but do not wax, thread or epilate between treatments.
  • Gentle exfoliation may assist shedding after the first week, once the skin has settled.
  • Temporary patchiness can occur as follicles respond at different rates and is a normal part of the reduction process.

Treatment coverage

What the Full Body treatment includes

Full Body laser hair removal includes all agreed body areas, including the neck, torso, back, arms, hands, fingers, intimate areas, legs, feet and toes. It excludes the face, hairline and scalp. Within your Unlimited programme, these areas are coordinated as one treatment plan, with exact boundaries confirmed before treatment begins.

01

Coverage clearly defined

We confirm exactly what is included before treatment begins, including intimate areas, smaller adjacent areas and any areas you would prefer not to treat.

02

Efficiently combined coverage

Related areas can be treated within the same coordinated programme, helping make appointments more efficient while allowing coverage to reflect your priorities rather than a series of isolated, fixed packages.

03

Tailored to your response

Settings, timing and treatment strategy are reviewed as your hair responds, allowing different areas to be managed according to their progress rather than treated identically throughout.

Full Body laser hair removal

Your questions, answered

Clear information helps you understand what you are choosing—and why the way a laser programme is designed can make such a difference. These answers cover Full Body treatment, laser technology and the Unlimited approach used at UP®.

01

Your Full Body treatment

Coverage, preparation, appointment timing and what the experience involves.

What is included in Full Body laser hair removal?

UP® Full Body laser hair removal includes all agreed body areas, including the neck, shoulders, torso, back, arms, hands, fingers, intimate areas, buttocks, legs, feet and toes.

It excludes the face, hairline and scalp. Exact boundaries are confirmed before treatment begins, including the coverage you would like through intimate or gender-specific areas.

Once agreed, these areas are coordinated as one Full Body programme rather than being treated as a collection of separately priced sessions.

Are all body areas treated at every appointment?

Your agreed Full Body coverage remains included throughout the programme, but each appointment is guided by what is actively growing and ready to treat.

Hair does not grow at the same rate across the whole body. Some areas may continue to need regular treatment while others become progressively clearer and require less frequent attention.

We review the regrowth present and treat the appropriate areas at that stage. This means your programme can evolve with your results rather than repeating an identical appointment every time.

How long does a Full Body appointment take?

Appointment length depends on your height, hair density, the amount of agreed coverage and which areas need treatment at that visit.

SPLENDOR X uses a large square treatment spot, helping our laser team cover larger areas efficiently and consistently. We still allow the time required to treat the agreed areas fully rather than rushing the appointment to fit a short, predetermined session.

Your laser technician can provide a more specific estimate once your coverage has been confirmed.

How should I prepare for a Full Body appointment?

Shave the treatment areas within approximately 24 hours of your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking, threading or epilating, because the hair root needs to remain present for laser treatment.

Avoid tanning and significant sun exposure before treatment, and arrive with clean skin free from moisturiser, oils, deodorant and fake tan.

Preparing for Full Body treatment can take time. Tell us before your appointment if an area is difficult for you to reach or shave so our team can advise you.

Can I have Full Body laser treatment during my period?

Yes. Having your period does not normally prevent laser hair removal, including Full Body treatment.

Some clients feel more sensitive during this time, particularly through intimate areas. Tell your laser technician if you are feeling uncomfortable so the treatment can be adjusted, paused or rescheduled according to your preference.

Your privacy is protected throughout, and intimate-area coverage is confirmed with you before treatment begins.

Can laser hair removal be performed over tattoos?

Laser hair removal is not applied directly over tattoo pigment because the ink can absorb the laser energy, increasing the risk of a skin reaction, burn or damage to the tattoo.

Having tattoos does not normally prevent treatment of the surrounding area. Our laser team will identify the tattoo boundaries and help protect them during treatment, including covering or marking the tattooed skin where appropriate so it can be safely avoided.

Hair directly over the tattoo, or immediately beside its protected margin, may need to be managed using another hair-removal method. We will explain the practical coverage during your consultation.

02

Why the treatment works

The technology, biology and treatment decisions behind meaningful long-term reduction.

What is the difference between laser hair removal and IPL?

IPL and laser are both light-based treatments, but they are not equivalent technologies.

IPL produces a broad range of wavelengths in each pulse. In practical terms, it is a more scattered-light approach: filters are used to direct part of that light towards the hair, but the energy is not delivered through one defined laser wavelength.

A true hair-removal laser uses specific wavelengths selected for their interaction with pigment in the hair follicle. This gives the laser team greater control over how energy is delivered across different skin tones and hair characteristics.

IPL can produce reduction for some clients, particularly where there is a strong contrast between lighter skin and darker hair. It is generally more limited across darker or pigment-rich skin, where surrounding melanin can also absorb the broad-spectrum light.

UP® uses the Lumenis SPLENDOR X, which delivers Alexandrite 755 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser wavelengths in adjustable proportions. This gives our laser team a more targeted, versatile and controlled platform for treating a broad range of clients.

Are all hair-removal lasers the same?

No. “Laser hair removal” describes a category of treatment, not a single standard of technology or technique.

Systems differ significantly in wavelength, energy delivery, pulse duration, spot size, cooling and how evenly the treatment area is covered. Those differences influence which skin tones can be treated, how efficiently larger areas can be completed and how much control the laser team has as the hair changes.

SPLENDOR X gives our laser team access to Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths in adjustable proportions, together with a large square treatment spot and integrated cooling.

The machine alone does not determine the result. Assessment, settings, coverage, timing and the willingness to adjust the programme can produce very different outcomes—even when two clinics appear to offer the same category of treatment.

Does Full Body laser hair removal hurt?

Most clients describe laser as a brief warm, sharp or snapping sensation rather than continuous pain. Sensitivity varies between clients and across different areas of the body.

Areas with denser or coarser hair can feel more noticeable, particularly during early appointments when more active hair is present.

SPLENDOR X uses integrated contact and air cooling to help manage heat and support comfort throughout treatment. Your laser technician will check in with you and balance comfort with the settings required to produce a meaningful treatment response.

Why do hair-growth cycles matter?

Hair follicles move through active growth, transition and resting phases. Laser is most effective when a hair is actively growing and remains connected to the follicular structures the treatment is intended to affect.

Only a proportion of the hair in any area is at that stage at one time. This is why one treatment cannot effectively target every follicle and why a sequence of correctly timed appointments is required.

Growth cycles also vary across the body. Our laser team reviews visible regrowth and adjusts appointment timing as the programme progresses rather than treating every area at the same fixed interval indefinitely.

How frequently will I have Full Body treatments?

Body treatments are commonly scheduled approximately four to six weeks apart during the active phase, although your interval is guided by visible regrowth and treatment response.

As reduction develops, appointments usually become less frequent. Treating too early can mean insufficient hair is ready to respond, while leaving long gaps can interrupt treatment momentum.

Your Unlimited programme allows our laser team to recommend the interval that is appropriate for you without every adjustment becoming another separately priced purchase.

How does hair colour affect laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment within the hair. Darker, coarser growth generally provides the clearest target and often responds most predictably.

White, grey, very blonde, red or very fine hair may respond differently because it can contain less of the pigment the laser is designed to target. Response can also vary between body areas, even on the same client.

Hair colour is often more nuanced than it appears, particularly in intimate or difficult-to-see areas. Our laser team will assess the actual hair present and explain what level of reduction is realistic before recommending a programme.

Is SPLENDOR X safe for all skin types?

Yes. SPLENDOR X is safe for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types, from I through VI, including tanned skin.

This is an important difference from most IPL systems and many other less versatile laser platforms, which are not suitable for all skin types, particularly darker skin types.

SPLENDOR X gives our laser team access to Alexandrite 755 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm wavelengths, allowing treatment to be tailored to your skin tone and hair characteristics.

We assess your skin before every treatment, including any changes caused by sun exposure, tanning, medication or increased sensitivity.

Is laser hair removal safe, and are there side effects?

Laser hair removal is generally safe when the client is assessed accurately and treatment is delivered using suitable settings, cooling and safety controls.

Temporary warmth, redness and small areas of swelling around the follicles are common responses and normally settle after treatment. Less common risks include blistering, burns or temporary changes in skin pigmentation.

Risk is influenced by tanning, medication, skin condition, unsuitable settings and inadequate cooling. At UP®, treatments are performed by trained laser technicians within documented laser-safety and clinical-governance systems.

Can I have laser while pregnant or taking medication?

We postpone elective laser hair removal during pregnancy. This is a precautionary approach because there is limited research confirming safety during pregnancy, rather than evidence that the laser is known to cause harm.

Birth control does not automatically prevent treatment, although hormonal changes can influence hair growth and future maintenance requirements.

Some medications and topical products can affect skin sensitivity, healing or light response. Tell us about all prescription medicines, recent medication changes and active skincare before treatment so we can confirm whether it is appropriate to proceed.

Can I pause my Unlimited programme if I become pregnant?

Yes. If you become pregnant during an Unlimited programme, you can request an approved pregnancy pause of up to nine months.

Your programme term will be extended by the length of the approved pause, preserving the remaining treatment period while treatment is postponed. No treatments can be redeemed during the pause.

Contact our team in writing when you would like the pause to begin, and we will confirm the process and your revised programme dates.

03

The UP® Unlimited approach

A programme designed around biology, progress and maintaining treatment momentum.

Why does UP® offer Unlimited programmes?

Because the biology of hair growth should determine when you are treated—not whether you feel like paying for another individual session.

Hair emerges in cycles, and different areas of the body respond at different speeds. An Unlimited programme allows our laser team to treat you at appropriate intervals, adjust timing as your results develop and continue working through active regrowth without turning every appointment into another purchase decision.

For Full Body clients, this is particularly valuable. Some areas may reduce quickly while others require more persistence. Everything agreed within your programme remains included during the selected treatment term.

The goal is focused: build momentum, achieve meaningful reduction and move you towards simpler, less frequent maintenance.

What does “Unlimited” include in practice?

Unlimited means treatment of your agreed areas is included at the appropriate intervals during your selected programme term, subject to treatment suitability and the programme conditions.

Reviews, setting adjustments and changes to appointment timing form part of managing the programme. You are not charged another individual treatment fee each time those needs change.

Unlimited does not mean treating repeatedly when there is insufficient active regrowth or when another appointment would be clinically inappropriate. Treatment remains guided by hair-growth cycles, safety and your individual response.

In practical terms, the treatment and review you need during the programme term are included—without having to ration appointments or areas according to the cost of another session.

How long does laser hair removal take to work?

Many clients begin noticing a visible difference within their first few treatments: slower regrowth, patchier coverage, softer hair and less frequent shaving.

The more significant change develops as successive growth cycles are treated. Because only a proportion of follicles are active at one time, meaningful long-term reduction requires consistency over a sustained period.

A 12-month Full Body programme gives us the strongest opportunity to follow those cycles fully, adjust treatment as your hair changes and complete the active reduction phase without losing momentum.

Results vary, but the experience should feel progressive—not like repeating the same appointment indefinitely.

Why might my treatment timing or settings change?

Effective laser treatment should change as the hair changes.

Early in a programme, growth may be denser and more areas may need regular treatment. As reduction develops, remaining hair can become finer, patchier or slower to return.

Our laser team reviews visible regrowth, skin response and progress throughout the programme. Settings, wavelength balance, treatment coverage and appointment intervals may then be adjusted to reflect what is present at that stage.

This active management is an important part of the UP® approach. Your programme is designed to evolve rather than simply repeating the same settings and schedule.

Will I need maintenance after my programme?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that every follicle will remain permanently inactive.

After the active programme, many clients move to occasional maintenance as new or previously inactive hairs appear. The frequency varies between clients and across different body areas.

Hormonal changes, age, medication and underlying health factors can also stimulate future growth. Near the end of your programme, we review what remains and recommend maintenance based on your actual results rather than a predetermined schedule.

Do I need to pay for the programme upfront?

No. You can purchase the programme directly or arrange scheduled payments using UP®Pay™.

UP®Pay™ allows programme costs to be paid automatically by card on an agreed weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule. Unlike many short-term buy-now-pay-later products, payments can be arranged across the treatment period.
