NHS Funded Hair Removal

Hair removal by laser is generally regarded by the NHS as a cosmetic treatment, for which NHS funding would not usually be available. However if your unwanted hair is as a result of a medical condition or if it is adversely affecting your quality of life, your PCT may pay for you to have some treatment, but this availability does vary from one Primary Care Trust to another.

The NHS has a duty to ensure that patients receive treatment from suitably qualified practitioners and that these treatments are safe and effective. Many Trusts do not have facilities to provide hair removal so this treatment is out-sourced from preferred providers who must meet specific criteria.

Laserase Bolton is registered with the Care Quality Commission (previously the Healthcare Commission) and have demonstrated that we comply with the national minimum standards used to gauge the safety and effectiveness of clinics. We have been a regular provider to several local PCTs for many years and are listed as a preferred provider for Salford PCT.
