What is legs laser hair removal and how does it work?
Legs laser hair removal uses laser light that is drawn to the pigment in each leg hair and turns to heat deep in the follicle, so that root grows back weaker or not at all. Leg hair is usually dark and coarse, which suits a laser well. Half legs cover either knee to ankle or the thighs; full legs run from ankle to upper thigh. We use our CoolGlide laser, with four wavelengths, 2000 W of power and sapphire cooling, including the long 1064 nm wavelength used for brown skin. Many patients report a visible difference from the first session.
Legs laser hair removal benefits
- Smoother legs: far less regrowth after a full course.
- Fewer ingrown hairs: less for coarse hairs to curl back into.
- Clearer skin: dark dots and razor rash ease as shaving stops.
- No more waxing: just a short top-up now and then.
- Quick visits: about 30 minutes for half legs, 40 for full legs.
- Comfortable: sapphire cooling soothes the skin with every pulse.
Laser hair removal for strawberry legs and ingrown hairs
The dark dots called strawberry legs often come from clogged follicles and ingrown hairs after shaving, and dermatologists rate laser highly for treating the cause in thick, coarse hair. A review of razor bumps notes they appear on the legs of women who shave there too, and calls removing the follicle the definitive fix. Fewer, finer hairs leave far less to curl back into the skin.
Legs laser hair removal before and after
Treated hairs drop out over the two or three weeks after each visit. With our CoolGlide laser, expect about 30–40% less hair after the first treatment, then slower, patchier regrowth each time and clearly smoother legs by about the third. Ingrown hairs and dark dots ease as the razor comes out less often. Our patients share their own results in the videos below.

Who shouldn’t have legs laser hair removal?
Leg laser is put off during pregnancy, over sunburn or a holiday tan, and on broken, infected or eczema-flared skin. It can’t target grey, white or very light hair. Tell us about keloid scars, recent isotretinoin or any medicine that makes your skin sensitive to the sun.
Legs laser hair removal, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your skin and hair and agrees half or full legs with you.
- Patch test: a few test pulses on the leg confirm the right settings.
- Preparation: shave your legs the day before, and stop waxing and epilating.
- Treatment: cooled pulses move along each leg, in about 30 minutes for half legs and 40 for full.
- Course: usually four to six visits spaced four to six weeks apart, then top-ups if needed.
Results and recovery
Legs can look pink and a little swollen, like mild sunburn, for one to three days, and most people carry on as normal. The result is long-term hair reduction: most treated leg hair stays gone after a full course, and any fine hair that returns clears with a top-up session.
Aftercare
- Cover your legs from strong sun for 2 weeks
- Skip the gym, pool and hot baths for a day
- Razor only between visits; no wax or epilator
- Wear loose trousers for the first day
