Laser Hair Removal in Bristol with Dr Brad
Doctor-Led. Medical-Grade. Proven Technology.
If you’re considering laser hair removal in Bristol, the most important decision is not the price — it’s who is treating you and with what technology.
At Doctor Brad’s Clinic, laser hair removal is:
-
Personally delivered by a GMC-registered doctor
-
Performed using gold-standard medical lasers
-
Tailored precisely to your skin type, hair type and risk profile
This is laser hair removal done properly, not rushed, delegated, or compromised.
A Doctor-Led Approach (Why This Matters)
Many laser hair removal clinics are:
-
Inflexibly therapist-led
-
Under-powered and protocol-driven
-
Equipment-limited
At my clinic, I personally assess, patch test and treat every patient.
Dr Brad
-
GMC-registered General Practitioner
-
Advanced aesthetics doctor
-
Level 5 Laser Hair Removal qualification (highest UK standard)
-
No delegation to technicians or therapists
- Continuity of care
This matters because laser hair removal is not risk-free, particularly on darker skin, tanned skin, intimate areas, or when higher fluence energies are required for results.
Medical oversight is not a marketing slogan here — it’s the foundation of the service.
The Technology: Why We Use the Cynosure Elite Plus
Not all laser hair removal systems are equal.
I use the Cynosure Elite Plus, widely regarded as one of the gold-standard medical laser platforms worldwide.
It combines two separate, purpose-built lasers in one system:
Alexandrite 755 nm
-
Gold standard for fair to olive skin (Fitzpatrick I–III)
-
Highly effective for coarse, dark hair
-
Faster clearance with fewer sessions when appropriate
Nd:YAG 1064 nm
-
Safest laser for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI)
-
Deeper penetration with lower epidermal risk
-
Essential for treating black and brown skin safely
Many clinics rely on single-wavelength diode systems or IPL.
These are compromises.
I don’t compromise.
Every treatment is selected based on your biology, not what a machine can or cannot do.
What About Fine Hair & “Peach Fuzz” for Face and Forearms?
This is one of the most misunderstood areas of laser hair removal — and where many clinics fail patients.
For fine, light, or “peach fuzz” hair, I offer a specialist treatment using the DEKA QS4 Nd:YAG laser, priced the same as standard laser hair removal.
This is not IPL, and it is not conventional long-pulse laser hair removal.
Why QS Nd:YAG Works So Well for Vellus Hair
-
Ultra-short, high-peak-power pulses interact effectively with fine melanin targets
-
Reduces the risk of paradoxical stimulation seen with inappropriate long-pulse treatments
-
Excellent safety profile when used correctly
-
Particularly effective for:
-
Facial peach fuzz
-
Cheeks, jawline, temples
-
Fine body hair that doesn’t respond well to standard lasers
-
This treatment is operator-dependent.
Used incorrectly, it can worsen hair.
Used properly, it delivers results that standard systems cannot.
This is one reason patients seek out a doctor-led clinic.
What Results Can You Expect?
Laser hair removal leads to significant, long-term hair reduction.
-
Most patients require 6–8 sessions
-
Some areas or hair types require more
-
Maintenance sessions may be needed over time
Hair grows in cycles. Laser only treats hairs in the active growth phase, which is why treatments are spaced:
-
Face: every 4–6 weeks
-
Body: every 6–8 weeks
I will always give you honest expectations, not sales promises.
Before & After Results
(Insert your male back before/after image here)
This example demonstrates typical results for coarse body hair treated with Alexandrite or Nd:YAG laser, depending on skin type.
Individual results vary based on:
-
Skin colour
-
Hair thickness and density
-
Hormonal influences
-
Treatment adherence
Safety First — Always
Laser hair removal can cause:
-
Burns
-
Pigment changes
-
Scarring (rare, but possible)
To minimise risk, I insist on:
-
Mandatory patch testing
-
Conservative initial settings
-
Clear pre- and post-treatment guidance
-
Medical screening for contraindications
Common Contraindications Include:
-
Recent sun exposure or tanning
-
Certain medications (e.g. isotretinoin)
-
Pregnancy
-
Active skin infections
-
Photosensitive conditions
If you are not a suitable candidate, I will tell you.
Intimate Areas & Chaperones
I routinely treat intimate areas for all genders.
-
Professional medical standards at all times
-
A chaperone is available on request
-
You are never rushed or pressured
Pricing & Consultation
Laser hair removal is not a commodity service.
A £60 consultation and patch test is required before treatment.
This is redeemable against treatment.
Why I charge for consultations:
-
Proper medical assessment takes time
-
It filters unsafe or unsuitable cases
-
It ensures higher treatment standards
See the end of this page to read full pricing tables for:
-
Alexandrite laser
-
Nd:YAG laser
-
QS Nd:YAG (vellus hair)
