Considering Laser Hair Reduction or IPL Hair Reduction? Here’s What You Need to Know
If you’re on the fence about committing to Laser or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) permanent hair reduction, you’re not alone. Many people hesitate due to concerns about cost, effectiveness, or whether it’s really worth it in the long run. But if you’re tired of constant shaving, waxing or plucking, laser and IPL hair removal can offer a long-term solution.
What is Laser Hair Removal and How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy targeted at the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles. The light is absorbed and converted into heat, which damages the follicle and reduces its ability to regrow hair. Over a series of treatments, this process significantly reduces hair growth and leaves your skin feeling smoother for longer.
Is It Expensive?
While laser or IPL hair reduction may seem like a costly option up front, it’s a long-term investment in convenience and confidence. This is especially true if you’re certain you don’t want hair growing back in a particular area. At Essential Beauty, we make it more accessible than ever, with fair prices for popular areas like the underarms. Compared to the ongoing cost of waxing or the time spent shaving, the investment quickly pays off.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Hair grows in cycles, and not all follicles are active at the same time. At any given moment, your hair is in a combination of growth (anagen), rest, and shedding phases. Laser and IPL treatments are only effective on hairs that are actively growing. That’s why multiple sessions are needed to target and treat all follicles during the right stage.
You’ll typically start to see results after a few sessions, as the treated areas begin to appear finer and more sparse. Many clients report noticeable patchiness early on, which is a clear sign the treatment is working.
At Essential Beauty, our trained therapists work with you to create a tailored treatment plan based on your hair type, skin tone and desired outcome. Whether you’re targeting your legs, bikini line, face or full body, we’ll help you achieve lasting, low-maintenance results.
