Back laser hair removal for women in Chelsea
Upper back, lower back, shoulders or the whole back, treated privately by a female specialist. Areas you cannot reach yourself, finally sorted.
- Free patch test first
- Laser, not IPL
- Same specialist every visit
How treatment works
Back hair in women is common and often linked to hormones. It is also hard to shave or wax yourself, which is why many clients come to us for this area first.
A whole back session takes about 45 minutes. Hair on the lower back is often finer, so Irina checks it at your consultation before recommending a course.
Who it suits
- Dark or medium hair on the back or shoulders
- Women with hormonal hair growth, including PCOS
- Anyone who relies on a partner or salon to deal with it
Laser works on hair that has pigment. Grey, white, red and very fine blonde hair usually does not respond; for those we offer The Smooth System.

Before and after your session
Before
- Shave the area the day before. Do not wax, pluck, thread or use epilators for 4 to 6 weeks beforehand, because the laser needs the hair root in place.
- Avoid sunbathing, sunbeds and fake tan for 2 weeks before. Tell us if you have a holiday booked.
- Come with clean skin: no deodorant, creams or make-up on the area.
After
- Mild redness or warmth usually settles within a few hours.
- For 24 to 48 hours skip hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and hard workouts.
- Use SPF 30 or higher on exposed areas and keep shaving between sessions, never waxing.
- Treated hairs shed over 1 to 3 weeks. This is normal, not regrowth.

Questions clients ask
Do I need to shave my back before?
Shave what you can reach the day before. If you cannot reach, tell us when you book and we will prepare the area at the start of your appointment.
Is back hair in women a sign of PCOS?
It can be one sign among others. If you are concerned, speak to your GP. Laser can help with the hair either way.
Can I combine it with other areas?
Yes. Back and underarms, or back and arms, are common combinations.
