Laser Hair Removal
At The Treatment Rooms Essex
Here at The Treatment Rooms, we offer the latest super-fast and comfortable laser hair removal treatments in Braintree. Using our brand new SMARTDiode laser machine, our team specialise in helping to remove your unwanted and ingrown hairs. This laser treatment gently heats up the target hair follicle to cause terminal damage and prevent hair re-growth.
Combining 3 wavelengths of light with higher energy output and intelligent software. SMARTDiode delivers exceptional results with ease, virtually pain free, super-fast and for all skin types.
Our diode laser has a deep penetration level and can target even the most coarse or stubborn hairs. It has superior melanin absorption, making it a safe hair removal method for all skin and hair types and different body areas. Our experienced technicians can treat sensitive areas such as faces (including cheek), nipples and intimate areas with little to no pain response.
Our laser clinic near Chelmsford Essex, offers skin treatments for both men and women and our Trans Community. Smart Diode technology is suitable for all skin types but will not help those with red or white hair growth. This is because there is not enough pigment in the hair follicles for the laser to target.
Please Note: To carry out Laser Hair Removal you will require a full consultation and patch test.
Say goodbye to the razor
Waxing can be painful and severely irritate the skin. Shaving is time consuming & can get quite expensive. The use of creams and other products can become tiring over time. At The Treatment Rooms we offer an affordable solution that is pain-free, super fast and long lasting hair removal.
Other hair removal methods require you to go through the phase of regrowing your hair (especially with waxing), with laser hair removal, regrowth is minimal, if not permanent. Our regrowth rates are as low as 5%. Even if hair grows back, it will be much thinner and lighter than it was.

The Laser Hair Removal FAQs
How many sessions do I need?
We have to consider multiple factors ie hair and skin colour contrast, hormones, hair density, medication, hair growth cycles and hair type. This is discussed at consultation. We recommend a minimum of 8 sessions.
How often do I need to have laser?
We work with hair growth cycles. The first few sessions will be closer together, as growth slows down you will have a longer gap between sessions. Each body area also has a minimum frequency between sessions.
Can you have laser if under 18?
No. It’s not recommended due to hormones. Some insurance companies also won’t allow laser on under 18s.
Does laser work on grey/white hair?
No. Grey/White hair doesn’t have any pigment so won’t work. We recommend electrolysis permanent hair removal instead.
How effective is laser on red/blonde hair?
Laser is far less effective on lighter hair. You would need to have significantly more treatments and results are not guaranteed
Does laser hurt?
Everyone is different. Some areas are more uncomfortable than others. I would say uncomfortable than painful. Sessions are relatively quick. You should expect to feel heat and prickles. The smart diode has a cold tip to help cool the skin for comfort.
Can you laser over tattoos?
100% no, this includes semi permanent makeup. Tattoos will be covered and avoided with a generous gap.
Where can’t you laser?
We cannot laser inside the eye socket (orbital) or over moles. We also cannot laser inside any orifices (holes).
Can I bring children/friends to an appointment?
No only the client receiving treatment and the therapist can be in the room for safety reasons. Children cannot be left unattended during treatment, this includes patch tests.
What happens if I am on my period?
Please pop a tampon in and advise the therapist so they know to adjust the string. Alternatively, you can use a menstrual cup.
Does laser work on darker skin colours?
Laser machines vary so always check with the clinic if you are suitable. Our machine can treat all Fitzpatricks 1-6. Minimal contrast between skin and hair colour may require more sessions. The bigger the contrast between skin and hair colour is considered the most effective.
I’m on medication, can I still have laser?
Each medication will be checked. There are many medications that will prevent treatment. It is paramount to inform us of any medication changes. Treatment will be postponed for 2 weeks after a course of antibiotics or steroids is finished.
What if I have metal pins/plates?
Laser cannot be carried out in the area where there is any metal pins or plates.
I have piercings! Can I have laser?
Yes they will need to be removed during the treatment.
Can I have laser if I use sun beds or fake tan?
No. We cannot treat for 4 weeks. We advise you to reduce exposure to sunlight and use SPF 50.
Is laser permanent?
No: laser is classed as permanent hair reduction. Electrolysis is considered permanent hair removal. It’s worth noting that some hormonal conditions may affect results.
How often would I need maintenance sessions?
Everyone is different. We need to consider multiple factors. Hairs can only be destroyed in the Anagen stage (growth), and different hairs are at different stages of the cycle at any one times. Multiple sessions are required in order to capture the hairs at this stage.
Can I wax/pluck between my sessions?
No, we advise that you only shave between sessions. Alternative hair removal methods will affect results.
What products do you recommend for aftercare?
We recommend a Pure Aloe Vera Gel and Hypo21 spray. We also recommend regular exfoliation with Ruff Stuff Scrub and frequent hydration with Ruff Stuff Body Oil.
