Welcome to HUSH Hair & Skin in Birmingham

We use two gold-standard Lynton lasers at our beauty clinic in Birmingham:

1. Alexandrite: This laser is the fastest of all lasers, treating larger body areas on all skin shades from pale to olive and dark brown. This laser has an ultra-high repetition rate and features a large contact-cooled sapphire tip which stays in continuous contact with the skin to keep it cool and comfortable.

2. Nd:YAG: This long pulse laser can be used safely on all skin types, including tanned skin. It penetrates deep inside the skin which makes it ideal for anti-ageing treatments, skin pigmentation reduction and for treating thread veins.

Laser treatments usually take between 10 minutes and an hour, depending on the size of the area to be treated and whether you have chosen to have laser hair removal, an anti-ageing laser treatment, skin pigmentation laser treatment, nail fungus laser treatment or thread vein laser treatment.

Absolutely. HUSH Laser Clinic in Birmingham offers transgender clients a place of sanctuary and support. We welcome everyone and pride ourselves on offering a relaxing place where we will treat your concerns with discretion and confidentiality.

We can achieve excellent results for trans clients who wish to maintain a hair-free feminine appearance. We can permanently remove hair from any part of the body including pubic and genital hair which may need to be removed prior to gender reassignment surgery.

Laser Hair Removal: If you are having laser hair removal, we ask you to shave 2-3 hours before each appointment. This allows the laser to penetrate into the root of the hair, rather than being absorbed by the longer lengths of hair. Do not wax, tweeze, or bleach any hair one month before your session because the root needs to stay intact in order for the laser to effectively destroy the hair.

However, before your first consultation and patch test, leave your hair unshaven as we need to see the hair in order to use the correct settings for your laser treatment. Although we can treat all skin types, we do recommend you avoid UV exposure at least 2 weeks before or 4 weeks after your treatment. Please advise your therapist if you are planning a sunny holiday or tanning.

All Other Laser Treatments: At least four weeks prior to your treatment, avoid using any skin products that will sensitise your skin, including products containing retinol, and exfoliators.

We offer a virtually pain-free laser option which uses the very latest technology combined with a cooling system to soothe the skin during treatment. During your consultation we will assess which laser treatment would be most suited to you. If you are not suitable for the pain-free version of laser, we offer a standard laser treatment which also delivers excellent results. The sensation is usually described as a rubber band snapping on the skin, or even just a light, warm pinch. We’ll make sure to use plenty of cooling techniques to make the treatment as comfortable as possible for you.

We recommend applying lotion which contains a high SPF after your treatment. We sell Light Soothe and Light Protect (SPF), both of which are professional products specifically designed for laser after care.

Between sessions please avoid sun exposure. After your final session, avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks.

If having laser hair removal, please shave any hair growth between sessions. Do not wax, tweeze or thread. Our therapists at HUSH will go through the full after care with you after each treatment.

Prior to treatment, a consultation is conducted at our award-winning beauty salon in Birmingham, in which a medical history is discussed to confirm suitability for treatment. This is also a good opportunity for you to ask your HUSH Beauty Therapist any questions you may have. Before treatment commences, you must provide written consent and a small test patch will be carried out.

Your first step if you are interested in permanently getting rid of your fungal nail infections is to book in for a consultation at our award-winning salon in Birmingham. During your consultation we will discuss your medical history to assess your suitability for treatment, explain the treatment and answer any questions you may have. Before treatment commences, you must provide written consent and a small test patch will be carried out on your skin.
