Why Laser Hair Removal at Laser & Skin Belfast Is So Effective – And Why “Cheap” Treatments Can Cost You More

If you’ve ever wondered why laser hair removal prices vary so much between clinics, you’re not alone. At Laser & Skin Belfast, we often see clients who’ve already had several “budget” laser sessions elsewhere — only to find their results patchy, slow, or short-lived.

The truth is simple: not all laser treatments are equal, and cheaper doesn’t always mean better value. Here’s why our BBL HEROic Forever Bare laser delivers faster, safer, and more permanent results — and how some low-cost providers quietly cut corners by turning their settings down.

The Difference Is in the Technology

Laser & Skin Belfast is the first clinic in Northern Ireland to offer the Sciton BBL HEROic™ Forever Bare system — the world’s most advanced broadband-light technology for hair removal.

This isn’t the same as the older IPL devices found in many salons. BBL HEROic:

• Delivers high-energy pulses evenly across the skin for maximum follicle damage

• Has built-in contact cooling for comfort and safety

• Treats large areas quickly and efficiently, meaning fewer sessions are needed

Most clients achieve long-term reduction in 6-8 sessions or fewer, compared with 10 or more at lower-powered salons.

Why Some Clinics Lower Their Settings

It’s not uncommon for budget providers to advertise low prices but quietly turn down the laser settings to make treatments gentler. While that sounds appealing, there’s a catch — the energy often isn’t strong enough to properly disable the hair follicle.

That means:

• The hair grows back more quickly

• You need more sessions to get similar results

• You ultimately pay more over time

It’s a false economy — especially when you factor in the wasted time, inconvenience, and frustration of ongoing regrowth.

At Laser & Skin Belfast, we always use clinically effective settings tailored to your skin and hair type — never diluted or “watered-down” treatments.

Fewer Sessions, Better Value

When the laser is operated correctly and set to the appropriate energy level, you should start seeing a significant reduction after just a few treatments. Our clients typically complete their course faster, saving both time and money long-term.

A high-quality laser operated by a skilled practitioner always delivers better value than a “cheap” course that never truly finishes the job.

Transparent Pricing and Real Results

We believe in straightforward, ethical pricing with no hidden upsells or misleading claims. Every treatment at Laser & Skin Belfast is delivered with full transparency — using the most advanced laser system in Northern Ireland, at settings designed to work effectively and safely.

So while you might pay slightly more per session, you’ll need fewer sessions, get better results, and enjoy smoother skin for longer — which ultimately means you spend less overall.
