Claire has had laser hair removal treatment at Freedom Clinics in Leeds and here is what she had to say about her experience:
“As a Paralympic swimmer, hair growth under my arms can be unsightly – it affects my confidence and performance. Shaving has its limitations, particularly as I have only 1 hand – it can be a difficult procedure! Since having laser hair removal at Freedom Clinics, it had transformed my routine. It was completely painless and I was really impressed with how effective, safe and simple the procedure was. Being hair free makes me feel good, and feeling good on the starting block is very important for my confidence.”
