Hair growth can be an unwanted part of this transition, which can be annoying. Change of hormones and then unwanted hair can be overwhelming.

Regular waxing or shaving can be a bit too much and can even result in in-grown hair, especially during summers. The ultimate solution to this inconvenience is Laser Hair Removal.

At Laserpod we have seen many wonderful clients who are currently transitioning. They have told us one of the most distressing aspects for them is facial hair. Laser Hair Removal is a great solution for this problem and can help you to keep a more feminine appearance.

We use the latest technology LightSheer Duet Machine to give you the safest and best laser hair removal experience.

We understand some of the transgender community can be nervous, they might have questions and would like to assure if we are trans allies. Don’t worry, we treat everyone the same/equals and our utmost aim is to make you feel comfortable and give you long-lasting results with us.

Our professional expert, Shiobham always believes in making her client happy and satisfied. 

With everyone’s busy schedule, no one has time to regularly shave or trim. It’s a fact that 9-5 jobs don’t leave you with enough time for yourself. If you’re an entrepreneur, it’s even worse, running the whole day for different meetings. Sometimes you just won’t get enough time to get ready, say, for an unplanned meeting, event, or party.

Why not opt for Laser Hair Removal? No need to shave, pluck or trim unwanted hair anymore. Trust us – this treatment is all that you need! According to Cosmopolitan, UK, most people reported satisfaction and reduction in hair growth and were super happy with the results.

Some people are skeptical about this treatment, as they have a lot of questions in their heads unanswered. Hence, we have compiled a list of things you should know about this treatment. What’s better than having all your questions answered at the same place right?

A lot of people assume that just because it involves laser and high technology, it is a painful process. Let me stop you there, it’s not. It is a super easy process and pains the minimum, just like a rubber band being flicked.

The light from the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair. This will cause the hair to heat up and cause damage to the root of the hair and blood supply, inhibiting the regrowth.

High tech machine such as the Light Sheet Duvet machine is one of the least painful lasers in the market.

The treatment time does not require a lot of patience, it is pretty fast actually; however, it will depend on the area of treatment. Generally, it can take from a few minutes to an hour.

This is subject to the client as it highly depends on your growth. Some people start to see the results after just one session, while for some, it takes another 2-3 sessions. But the results are promising.

This depends on skin colour, hair colour, hair density, and hormones. The average is 6-9 treatments.

Yes, you are allowed to shave between the treatments.

Yes, there are some key things to remember:

• Shave the treatment area preferably 24 hours before the treatment. Remember not to tweeze or pluck the hair, as it might cause irritation during the session.
• Try not to use any skin ointments, perfumes, or makeup before your session.
• You can exfoliate the area before the treatment.

You must avoid sun exposure, sauna or gym sessions after and before this treatment. Specifically, refraining from the sun for 14 days pre and post-treatment is essential.

Yes, interestingly laser hair removal has more than just one benefit. For people who develop sores and rashes because of in-grown hair, good news… this treatment is very beneficial to tackling in-grown hair issues, hence, reducing irritation on our skin too.

Not at all, anyone can opt for this treatment. More than women, men’s hair removal is a thing now! They are more interested in grooming than ever and the opt-in numbers have really gone up in the past few years. Moreover, this treatment does wonders for transgenders too. It really helps throughout the transition process.

This treatment does not eliminate hair growth but reduces it to almost 95%. Laser hair removal never guarantees a 100% hair-free body. Hence, some re-growth can be seen in the treated area. In such a case, you can consult your doctor again.

Never forget to apply sunscreen. Always choose the SPF above 30. Remember, if you’re going out for long hours, pack the sunscreen in your bag as it is essential to reapply this after few hours. This can save you a lot of damage.

Vitamin C is extremely useful especially in summers. You can apply a suitable vitamin C serum (a few drops) between cleansing and moisturising. It protects our skin from the effect of photodamage and also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

‘Tis the season to exfoliate. Especially for the people with oily skin must exfoliate (gently) at least thrice a week to open your skin pores.

It is very important to remain hydrated throughout the day. Drink at least 2-3 liters of water. Water is the main source of our body to detoxify the waste product, through kidneys and skin! Yes, you heard it right. It is important to remain dehydrated by drinking plenty of water.

In 2017, I found Siobhan. She is an actual god send. I found her by chance because she used the laser which was supposed to be best in class for my skin type. So I worked backward and contacted her.

Also results wise, I haven’t had a touch up in the last 2 years since I moved out of London and I can say that the results have been phenomenal.

Here I am 6 years after starting with her and here are the reasons I think she is incredible.

Results – My results for legs, arms, face and underarms have been exceptional.

I had initially wanted to do full body. She did not let me do back and stomach because she believed my hair there was too fine and would not yield results. Most people in her place would have tried to upsell me but she did not.

Siobhan has always maintained that if there is a spot missed you can come back and she’ll go over it within the first few days. I have been to 3 other laser places in my life and no one has been so genuine and fuss free about their service.

I have found my services to be incredibly affordable and reasonable. This is a big factor, especially when using a high-quality laser. Many places with decent pricing use poor quality lasers or machines that are not actually true lasers at all. Given my skin tone I was very particular about the laser that I used.

Siobhan has been doing this for so long and you can definitely tell. She’s quick and efficient and I get a lot done in a quick amount of time. She also uses ice which makes the whole process much more manageable.

And lastly, she is a lovely person. My laser sessions always go by so easily because she is caring and funny and I know I’ll always be amused with stories.

Mothers are legit superwomen!

Flowers, cakes and chocolates are clichés, give her the gift of skincare. You can do so many things to make the best out of Mother’s Day!

Spoil your favourite woman with an amazing experience of rejuvination with a good spa session. Let her mind, body and soul enjoy harmony.

In fact, massage therapy can help with pain management in chronic conditions such as arthritis, sciatica and muscle spasms.

This is definitely a good option to go for!

If your mom is very fond of skincare, book her some sessions of facials such as HydraFacial.

It is a multiple-step treatment, where aestheticians use the device (HydraDfacial) to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and deliver a variety of rejuvenating serum. This facial is trending right now because of its instant ‘WOW’ results giving you glowing and firm skin.

We all know how hard our moms work.

Get your mom a free skin assessment session and start with a good skincare treatment. Our experts will examine her skin and see the area of concern. Based on the assessment we will suggest the line of treatment required to rejuvenate her skin. After all, all mothers need this.

If your mom is constantly concerned about wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation, give her a skin peel treatment! Skin peels can be used to stimulate the epidermis and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. This is a good solution for people who wish to fight the signs of ageing with less invasive treatment.

After a day of relaxation, take her out for a good dinner. Stake with some classic red wine, a soothing ambience and of course, YOU would be perfect. Make this day unforgettable for your lovely mom!

Winter is here, and you need to take care of your skin even more!

Winter means sitting by a bonfire with a cup of hot chocolate or just enjoying Netflixing with the heaters on… and of course a long hot shower. But bear in mind, this warmth comes at a cost!

This season is the perfect time for dryness to come into action, but you can stop this havoc with some simple steps!

Consistent outdoor heat like a roaring bone fire can make your skin dry, indoor heating snatches away the moisture from your skin and long hot showers strip away the natural oil from your skin. Did you know these facts?? Let’s go through some tips and tricks for healthy winter skin.

We all know the feeling when you enter your cosy home from an outside chilly environment. The first thing you want to do is switch on the heaters. Let me stop there, although it might sound very comforting, it is actually damaging your skin, making your skin dry! Try a moderate setting instead. The American Osteopathic College of Dermatology (AOCD) recommends the setting of 68-75 degrees F.

Heaters tend to take away the moisture from your skin resulting in dry and dull skin. It is always a good idea to invest in a humidifier because it restores moisture to the air, keeping your skin hydrated throughout the winters.

You must have noticed when you wash your hands with too hot water, they start to dry out. The same is the case with your skin and especially your face. Too hot water will take away the natural oils from your skin, making it dry.

Just a simple rule of thumb – if the water makes your skin turns red, it’s too hot for you!

People having dry skin should always go for a body wash rather than a soap bar.

Look for washes for sensitive and dry skin, that should be dye-free and fragrance-free. Such washes often contain more moisturising ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, oils, shea butter and oats.

It is always a good practice to moisturise your hand and face after washing them as cleansing agents in the washes can make your skin dry. Make sure to moisturise your face before you go to bed every day as your skin tends to lose moisture while you are sleeping. Applying moisturiser will help your skin stay hydrated throughout the night.

It is the most common yet most important tip, it is essential to remain hydrated especially during winters. Hydration is always the key to glowing and healthy skin!

Are you all ready? New year’s party can go wild because everyone waits for this night for the whole year. Since the dress code is always- dress to impress, but it’s never just the dress, right? The whole look matters. Speaking of which…makeup is an important part for most people especially for New Year’s parties.

Glitter eye look or smokey eyes, you can slay all of them but don’t forget to treat your skin with a good cleanup, after all your skin happily accepted all those layers of glitters and makeup, right? That alcohol and unremoved overnight makeup can cause harm to your skin.

Follow a good skin cleanup practice after your party unless you want to get bad skin such as dull skin or acne the next day. Here are some tips to follow:

After that amazing New Year’s party don’t forget to remove your makeup. I know you might feel very tired and lazy, but gather yourself up or you might regret it the next morning.

Firstly, use an alcohol-free gentle makeup remover as alcohol can irritate your skin and can even make it dry. Oil-based makeup removers are a good choice for keeping the skin from getting dry.

You must be wondering if we have already used makeup remover then why use a cleanser? Here’s your answer…

Sometimes makeup remover is not enough to deep clean the dirt and oil from your skin, here a cleanser comes into action. Cleansers are meant to remove all the leftover makeup thoroughly from our skin. Use a gentle creamy cleanser so that it removes all the grime with a soft touch.

Use a gentle lip scrub and remember to take that party lipstick off! Often, people don’t give enough credit to lip care routine and practice. Unattended lips can lead to dryness and flakiness in your lips (and you know how it is to apply lipstick when your lips are utterly dry). Also, don’t forget to apply a subtle lip balm to your lips, to keep them happy and soft.

The next step is applying a suitable night serum to your skin. Using a serum is a good night skin practice. It penetrates into your skin for hydration and replenishes your skin with active ingredients. They are great for removing wrinkles and keeping your skin firm and smooth too.

Please note that although serum works to hydrate your skin, it cannot replace a moisturizer as the serum is lightweight, hence does not provide enough moisture to the skin.

The last step to your skincare is the application of a night crème or moisturizer. Since throughout the night your skin tends to get dry, this essential step can help provide proper moisture to your skin.

At Laserpod, we specialise in skincare and aesthetics. We offer various skin treatments such as skin peel, skin roller, and laser hair removal too. Book yourself in for a free appointment and give your skin a fresh start this new year!

A lot of products and treatments are available in the market. When I go to buy a product for myself, I get confused between a plethora of products and brands, which by the way is pretty obvious! Relating to it? Shopping for yourself is not an easy task! If I must say, one should be very choosy in selecting a product. After all, it is going to go into our skin, as a part of our skincare routine.

Thumb rule- Always research before shopping. So, never skip researching before adding anything into the cart! A good product will get your skin glowing/ healed. However, a bad product can do just the opposite!

If the answer to that is a yes, then bravo to you! But if you do not understand your skin type, then keep reading my friend!

(It’s better to understand your skin first and then get the suited products, right?)

Knowing your skin type is the very first step towards nourishment and selfcare.

1. Combination Skin

As the name says, this skin type is a combination of oily and normal skin. The T Zone areas will remain oily i.e. forehead and nose areas, while cheeks and chin remain from normal to dry. This type of skin is more prone to blemishes and pimples. Hence, special care is required for both the faces of the skin.

2. Normal Skin

If your skin is balanced, then you can say that you have normal skin (or you are very lucky p). The complexion is radiant with no severe sensitivity. Less pore visibility. But hey, still need a good skin routine is recommended to make the best out of your gifted skin type.

3. Dry Skin

Dryness and flakiness in the skin indicate that the person has dry skin. This also means that the skin produces less sebum than normal skin. People with dry skin types might bear rough and dull complexion with mild red patches and more visible lines.

4. Blemished Skin

This skin type is very sensitive and produces more sebum than necessary, resulting in more breakouts in the form of pimples, acne, blackheads etc. Antibacterial cleansing is recommended to restore the skin’s balance.

Although a lot of good brands like Nivea have a variety of products for different skin types, a good suggestion would be to make a quick consultation with a skin specialist. This will make it easier to get started on a skincare routine. Do you know what’s even better?  A free skin assessment!

At Laserpod, you can leave your worries at home, as you would be treated by the finest of skin specialists. Any treatment for you would be suggested only after a thorough assessment of your skin.
