Thinking about laser hair removal in Bedfordshire but wondering which areas you can actually treat? You’re not alone - one of the most common questions we get at Lux Laser UK is:
"Can you laser that area?" The answer is usually… yes!
TL;DR Basically, unless it’s your eye sockets, inner ear or nostrils or over moles and tattoos, we can pretty much laser it.
At Lux Laser UK in Bromham, Bedfordshire, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro (AKA the gold standard in laser hair removal and the best laser in the biz!) to safely and effectively treat everything from your head to your toes! (via face, underarms, nipples, chest, back, hollywood, bum, legs etc.)
Whether you're looking for smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, or total confidence year-round, this guide will walk you through the most popular treatment areas and what to expect.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a fast, safe, effective treatment designed to target hair follicles with precision, helping to reduce unwanted hair from your very first session. Unlike shaving, which only removes hair at the surface, or waxing, which pulls hair out temporarily, laser works at the root, meaning long-term results and smoother skin.
The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. This disables the follicle over time, reducing regrowth dramatically. Many clients notice a 30-40% reduction after one session, and most achieve an 85-95% reduction in hair growth after 6–10 sessions. At Lux Laser UK, every treatment is customised to your skin tone, hair type, hormones, and chosen area - because no two bodies are the same.
How the Candela GentleMax Pro Works
At Lux Laser UK, we proudly use the Candela GentleMax Pro, widely recognised as the gold-standard laser hair removal system. Here’s why it’s one of the best machines in the world:
Dual wavelength technology (Alexandrite + Nd:YAG) means we can safely treat all skin types, Fitzpatrick I–VI
Customisable settings ensure your treatment is tailored to your hair thickness and skin tone
Built-in cooling technology keeps sessions comfortable - most clients describe it as a light snap or warmth rather than pain
It’s powerful, precise, and designed for exceptional results across both large and sensitive areas - we're honestly obsessed. all laser hair removal machines are not created equal!
Laser Hair Removal for Different Areas
One of the best things about laser hair removal is how versatile it is. Whether you want a full-body transformation or just to ditch shaving one area, we can create the perfect plan for you.
Let’s explore the most popular treatment areas – starting with the Face...
Laser Hair Removal for Face (Upper Lip, Chin & Jawline)
The question I get asked most commonly is… “can you laser facial hair” and the answer is a resounding YES!
Almost every client has a cheeky zap on their face, whether this is a quick upper lip zap, or along the chin and jawline… we can laser everyone’s face.
We promise there is nothing to be worried or embarrassed about. We’re here to help, and you will notice an unbelievable difference from the first session. Facial hair is more common than people realise, particularly in women and we sometimes feel we do each other a disservice by not talking about it openly enough.
We commonly treat:
Upper lip
Chin
Jawline
Sideburns
Above and below beard lines
Hair line – along the forehead and back of the neck
Because facial skin is delicate, we carefully adjust settings for comfort and safety. Laser can be especially helpful for hormonal hair growth or PCOS-related facial hair. We’re here for you. We understand and we will work together to bring you amazing, long-lasting results.
Laser Hair Removal for Nipples & Toes (and before you ask... it's competely normal!)
Let’s talk about something almost everyone experiences but rarely says out loud…
Stray hairs around the nipples or on the toes are completely normal. Hormones, genetics, and natural hair patterns mean that nearly every client has experienced unwanted hair in these areas at some point.
And no - we promise, you are absolutely not alone.
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective solution for these small, stubborn areas. Treatments are:
Quick
Precise
Low-discomfort
Highly effective on coarse hairs
Because the hair in these areas is often darker and thicker, it can respond very well to laser treatment.
At Lux Laser UK, we approach every appointment professionally and without judgement. These are incredibly common concerns, and our goal is always to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely at ease. All hair is normal - and removing it safely is too. We've got you.
Laser Hair Removal for Underarms
Underarms are one of the most-loved areas to treat - and for good reason.
Hair is usually dark and coarse (perfect for laser)
Results can be quick and noticeable
No more daily shaving or shadow
Clients love how smooth, fresh, and irritation-free their underarms feel after just one session. An underarm zap is perfect if you struggle with:
Razor rash
Ingrown hairs
Constant regrowth
Underarms tend to be on show, daily, making this one of our most-loved treatment (and not to mention, cost effective) areas.
Laser Hair Removal for Bikini & Hollywood
Laser hair removal for intimate areas is incredibly popular - especially in summer or for anyone who wants low-maintenance confidence all year round. We can treat:
Bikini line
Brazilian (leave as much or as little as you like!)
Hollywood
The Candela GentleMax Pro is ideal for sensitive areas because of its precision and cooling system. This means we don’t need to over-treat and can target hairs powerfully in one zap.
Most clients say it’s life-changing for:
Ingrowns
Redness
Avoiding painful waxes
Feeling confident in swimwear or lingerie
There is nothing worse than repeated shaving on holiday! We all know that feeling of feeling sore & sensitive along the bikini line from too much shaving. Laser will revolutionise this feeling and you’ll never have to experience this ever again!
Laser Hair Removal for Perianal (AKA the Butt crack!)
Perianal laser hair removal (the area around the bum hole) is another treatment that’s far more common than people realise. Clients choose this area for:
Hygiene
Comfort
Reduced irritation
Confidence
We understand this is a sensitive treatment area, which is why we prioritise dignity and comfort above all else.
For this treatment, clients can comfortably lie on their side, meaning there are no awkward or exposed positions required and you don’t have to stare in to our eyes whilst we give you a little zap!
The Candela GentleMax Pro’s precision allows us to treat this area safely and efficiently, and sessions are typically very quick (usually only 1-2 minutes!).
Our promise at Lux Laser UK is simple: You will be treated with professionalism, care, and zero judgement - always.
Laser Hair Removal for Legs
Legs are one of the biggest time-savers. Can you imagine:
no more shaving your legs every other day
no more stubble or strawberry legs
no more bending over awkwardly in the shower!
smoother skin 24/7
Laser works beautifully on legs because it can cover larger areas quickly and effectively.
Many clients say it’s the best investment they’ve ever made for long-term smoothness, and with sessions starting at a gap of 6 weeks apart (and extending over time) not only will it pay back quickly in terms of money, but time too.
Laser Hair Removal for Arms
Whether it’s full arms or just forearms, laser can help reduce unwanted hair and leave skin feeling smoother and more even. This is a great option for clients who want:
Softer regrowth
Less noticeable hair
A polished look without maintenance
Laser Hair Removal for Back, Stomach & Body Areas
We also treat larger body areas such as:
Back
Chest
Stomach
Shoulders
These areas respond really well, especially with consistent sessions spaced out c. 6-8 weeks apart.
aaaand if you're tired of waxing / shaving your partners [insert annoying area here!!], why not book them in & make your life a little easier!
Benefits Over Shaving or Waxing
Laser hair removal isn’t just about removing hair - it’s about making your life easier.
Clients choose laser because it offers:
Long-lasting smoothness
No more ingrown hairs or razor bumps
Improved skin tone and texture
Less irritation in sensitive areas
Time and money saved long-term
Confidence in your own skin
Once your course is complete, maintenance is minimal - and the freedom is unmatched.

Yes - laser hair removal is safe when performed by trained professionals using medical-grade technology (we use the award-winning Candela Gentlemax Pro for unmatched results)
At Lux Laser UK:
Every treatment is tailored to you
Safety is our top priority, always

Over tattoos or certain moles
We’ll always guide you clearly during your consultation, and ensure your expectations are managed accordingly.
