Long-term hair reduction
Most people experience up to 90% reduction in hair growth after a full course of sessions, meaning regrowth is lighter, slower and easier to manage.
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to reduce unwanted hair, working on the hair follicle and not the skin’s surface. This prevents the surrounding tissue from being damaged.
The light from the laser is then absorbed by melanin, the pigment in your hair. The heat travels down the hair, destroying the root and connections to the blood supply, stopping further hair growth.
During a laser hair removal session, there are a few key steps:
Because only follicles in an active growth phase respond fully to treatment, just one session won’t completely clear an area. A full course catches hair as it moves through its natural growth cycle, which is why laser hair removal is a course of treatments rather than a single visit.
Removing unwanted hair with laser technology is becoming increasingly popular with both men and women as a long-term option for hair reduction.
Most people experience up to 90% reduction in hair growth after a full course of sessions, meaning regrowth is lighter, slower and easier to manage.
From the upper lip and underarms to legs and your bikini line, laser hair removal can treat most areas of unwanted hair growth. We offer popular treatments including Brazilian and Hollywood laser hair removal.
Most clients describe the feeling as comfortable and near pain-free, with no anaesthetic needed.
With laser hair removal, your skin may feel warm afterwards, but you should be able to get back to your day.
Aesthetics of Essex has been helping clients feel comfortable in their own skin since 2012. Laser hair removal is carried out by fully qualified practitioners, and every consultation is free with no obligation.
With laser hair removal clinics in Upminster, Rayleigh and Maldon, achieving smooth skin fast is easy wherever you are in Essex.
Because some follicles are dormant at any given time, a single session will not completely clear an area. A full course catches hair as it moves through its natural growth cycle.
Although you can see up to a 20% reduction in hair growth after one session, you will need 6–8 sessions to achieve a 90% reduction.
Laser hair removal works on very fair to black skin. However, it requires dark hair pigment that is medium to thick in density.
If your hair is fair, blonde, grey or white, the treatment won’t be as effective, and we’ll be upfront about that at your consultation rather than promise results we can’t guarantee.
It’s also not recommended to undergo laser hair removal over tattoos.
Please note other factors such as medication do impact whether you are a suitable client, but this will be discussed at consultation.

Most of our clients describe laser hair removal as a warm, slightly stinging sensation that’s generally considered comfortable. Any sensation tends to ease as the pulse ends.
Of course, some areas tend to feel more sensitive than others, especially the bikini line.
Laser hair removal prices in Essex depend on the area and how many sessions you need. Smaller areas such as the chin and upper lip cost less than larger areas like the full legs and back. Booking a course of several sessions works out cheaper per session.

We wouldn’t call this permanent hair removal. Hormonal changes and genetics mean new follicles can activate over time, which is why we describe it as long-term reduction rather than a one-off fix.
Many people experience hair removal that lasts several months, but when hair regrows, you can have maintenance laser treatments. This will ensure long-term hair reduction.
Following each hair removal session, the speed at which your hair grows will be reduced in the treated area. It will take longer to grow back each time and, if you continue treatments, the hair can stop growing for some people.
