Back to Beauty School…. discover laser skin treatments

As Summer’s go, it’s not been too bad down at Strip HQ….. London has treated us to a fair few sunny days and we’ve enjoyed flaunting our (perfectly preened) pins in many a rooftop bar.

With all this extra skin on show you may have started noticing a small blemishes that you’d rather see the back of (just us?). The team at Strip have been swotting up with our renowned laser trainer and can now offer new laser treatments to improve the appearance of many skin imperfections.

As well as laser hair removal, our advanced, medical grade laser system can also be used for thread vein removal, skin pigmentation and skin rejuvenation.

Some of these small areas can be treated safely and effectively in as little as one session and will leave your skin looking youthful and refreshed.

What are thread veins?

You may have spotted these little devils on the tops of your thighs or around your face; they are small capillaries which don’t do any harm but can be quite noticeable.  We can remove them quickly and safely without affecting any of the surrounding tissue to leave skin looking brand new. Our highly trained technicians will direct the laser over the unwanted veins, heating up the lining of the blood vessel wall. This causes the vein to collapse: smaller veins break down almost immediately and larger ones diminish over a short period of time. It’s much less invasive than other vein removal treatments such as sclerotherapy and you can be out of the door in 30 minutes with no obvious scarring/marks. Safety is always our priority but this is honestly the sort of thing you can have on your lunch break and no one would know.

Noticed a few sun spots?

Chances are if you’re a bit of a sun goddess you will have started to notice darker age spots, sometimes called liver spots, appearing on your skin. These ‘pigmented lesions’ are essentially a concentrated area of melanin (the chemical in skin that makes us look tanned) and we get more of them as we get older.

Laser is the perfect solution to treat any unsightly pigmented areas that maybe bothering you. The GentleMax laser targets the melanin within these darker brown areas meaning the surrounding skin won’t be affected. The laser will heat these areas, causing a fine crust to form. This then peels away removing with it, your unwanted age or sun spots. Between 1 and 3 treatments should be enough to reveal softer, smoother and more radiant skin. You will really notice a different in the overall appearance of your skin as the smoother and more youthful skin emerges.

Small areas will take less than 30 minutes to treat and you will only feeling a small twinge (our customers have described it as a ‘snap’) which really doesn’t hurt.

Skin rejuvenation

If you’ve reached the point where the face creams aren’t cutting it for your any more, laser skin resurfacing could be the treatment for you. Our laser skin tightening can really help turn back the hands of time and is ideal for anyone worrying about loose skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. This minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure is super-efficient at treating skin on the face, jawline, neck, upper arms, abdomen and knees. It works by stimulating collagen production and the end result is a more toned and youthful appearance. A brilliant solution for men and women of all skin types and skin tones, it is most effective on those aged between 30-60 years old who have mild to moderate skin laxity/ageing. You will notice results after the first appointment but for maximum results we do recommend a course of this treatment.

What else do you need to know?

Most of our treatments require a patch test to determine if your skin is suitable for laser

You will need to be out of the sun for a few weeks before your laser treatment starts and for a while afterwards. We have a full range of high performance SPF 50 Heliocare products to help with this

We have been experts in hair removal since 2005 and ensure our staff have all the necessary qualifications. We only use therapists that have been trained to the highest level to perform our laser treatments and they will guide you through the process so you know exactly what to expect.

  • I have been looking for a hair removal salon since leaving NYC. A lot of beauty salons use mediocre wax, however at Strip they use the proper black wax which is the best and most comfortable way to remove hair it is also super quick. Staff could not have been more friendly helpful and professional. I will definitely be returning to Strip!

  • Best waxing experience I’ve ever had! Martina was wonderful and the products they use are amazing and make a really comfortable experience. I’m a customer for life.

  • Absolutely amazing wax with Martina today. The whole experience from Terri on reception to the treatment was fantastic and I cannot recommend this salon enough. Having recently undergone extensive surgery for Crohn’s disease, I was nervous for my first wax in a few years and Martina was just amazing she listened to me and made me feel totally relaxed and in safe hands. The wax they use is fantastic and you barely feel a thing. Can’t wait to come back!

  • Amazing hot wax as always! I’ve been coming to Strip for ages now and even though I’ve moved away from the area, I always make the journey because it’s more than worth it for a top class wax and as pain free an experience as a hot waxing can be. All the staff are always lovely and welcoming. Thanks ladies!

  • My fourth wax at Strip and as always a positive experience! All the ladies are so lovely, professional and knowledgeable, doing whatever they can to ensure you get the best results and have the best experience – I could not recommend Strip enough! Can’t wait to go back again!

  • Michaela is hands down the best wax therapist I have ever had. She literally is the best. I am never disappointed when my appointment is with her. She’s professional, quick and always does an immaculate job. I actually look forward to my appointments which is quite rare. I can’t recommend her enough!

  • Honestly the best intimate waxing in London. Quick and as pain-free as it’s gonna get. My favourite therapist is Luciana – she’s such a pro and makes the whole experience easy and stress-free.

  • This was my first Hollywood Wax and I was nervous. The reception staff were extremely helpful with my questions beforehand. Holly my waxing technician, was extremely friendly, helpful and really put me at ease. It hurt a little, but nothing to how I thought it was going to and it was over very quickly. Definitely will be coming back! Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic service!

  • As it was my first waxing I was quite nervous. There was no need to be. The staff were friendly and professional. Eva put me at ease by explaining everything. She did an amazing treatment, virtually pain free. Will definitely be back. Thank you Eva and all the staff .
