IPL Hair Removal
We use the latest single pulse cooling IPL technology (Intense Pulsed Light)
It works by targeting hair follicles using impulse light, heating them up to stunt hair growth. You can expect a 70-95% reduction in hair growth. Any remaining hair will be thinner and sparse.
We recommend 7 sessions to ensure we have hit all the hair follicles in their growth stage. However, as everyone is different and has different amounts of pigmentation in the skin, more sessions may be required. You may need one or two top-up sessions per year to kill off any hair follicles that may repair.
Does it hurt?
Our machine has ice-cooling technology, however it can feel like a hot elastic band hitting the skin for a split second.
How often do I need to come for sessions?
Every 3 weeks.
Does it work on all hair?
Yes, except peach fuzz hair with no pigmentation.
Preparation:
Shave 1-2 days before. You can shave any time in between sessions. Do NOT shave on the day of your session as we need hair follicles to be present in order to stunt growth. Do not wax, pluck or thread whilst having the treatment, as this pulls out the root and we need the root for the treatment to work.
Reasons why it wouldn’t work:
Improper preparation - for example not shaving when directed to.
Uncontrolled/undiagnosed hormonal issues.
Not attending sessions in the correct sequence as required.
