Services
Laser Hair Removal
Our medical-grade diode laser treatments permanently reduce unwanted hair through targeted follicle destruction. Suitable for most skin tones and hair colours excluding white hair, sessions take 5-40 minutes depending on area size. Clinical studies show up to 90% permanent reduction after 6-8 sessions.
Transgender Treatments
Specialist hair removal services for transgender clients focusing on beard, chest and intimate areas. Our Scottish clinics offer discreet treatments using high-powered lasers capable of handling dense hair growth patterns in sensitive regions.
Body Sculpting
Non-invasive contouring treatments targeting fat deposits through thermal energy application. Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes with visible results appearing over 4-6 weeks as the body naturally eliminates treated fat cells.
Patch Testing
Pre-treatment evaluation determining optimal laser settings for individual skin types. This safety measure identifies potential adverse reactions before full treatments commence, particularly important for clients with darker skin pigmentation.
Consultations
Free remote consultations with senior therapists or Tina O'Doherty herself. These 10-minute sessions assess client needs, explain treatment protocols and create personalised pricing packages without sales pressure.
