At My London Skin Clinic, not only do we offer Laser Hair Removal, but we have the latest technology in hair bleaching too – thanks to our highly advanced Q Switch Laser Machine.
The Q-Switch is used to discolour undesired hairs, rather than destroying them.
Over time, hair may appear finer, helping improve the appearance of smooth skin.
It can be effective for lighter or finer facial hair, such as ‘peach fuzz’ or ‘baby hairs’, which may not respond well to traditional laser removal.
Melanocyte cells are what gives our hair its colour.
Our Q-Switch Laser Machine works as a facial hair bleach – targeting the melanocyte cell in the structure of the hair. The targeted hair may gradually lose its pigment and shed naturally in the days following treatment.
The laser bleaching of hair will need some upkeep, as new hairs will ultimately grow – replacing the old ones. But treatment can be carried out every 6-8 weeks.
Our experts will create a tailor-made plan to slow down the hair growth and support finer-looking hair regrowth over time.
Many patients notice a visible change shortly after the treatment, although results can vary.
The procedure is well-tolerated and often selected as a complement to other hair removal treatments..

Although downtime is minimal, you may experience some swelling, redness and a tingly sensation.
Patients might experience temporary redness, mild irritation, or changes in pigmentation. These effects usually resolve shortly after treatment.
Results will last until the new hairs begin to grow. This is dependent on the patient, so time scales may vary.
The procedure is generally well-tolerated. Some patients report a mild tingling sensation during treatment.
No, results are temporary and maintenance treatments are usually recommended.
Laser hair bleaching may be most effective on fine facial hairs, particularly those not responsive to traditional laser hair removal.
At My London Skin Clinic, we always provide a full consultation 24 hours prior to any procedures, and this includes a patch test.
The consultation ensures suitability for the treatment and time to develop a customised treatment plan.
