IPL-Hair Removal

What is IPL?

Smooth, Silky Skin Without the Daily Maintenance

Unwanted hair can be time-consuming to manage and may impact confidence, particularly when traditional methods such as shaving, waxing and plucking lead to irritation, ingrown hairs and frequent upkeep

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Hair Removal is an advanced treatment designed to provide long-term reduction of unwanted hair.

By targeting the pigment within the hair follicle, IPL works to disrupt the hair growth cycle, resulting in smoother skin and a significant reduction in hair growth over time. Suitable for both men and women, IPL offers a safe and effective alternative to temporary hair removal methods, helping you enjoy greater convenience and confidence in your skin. Bespoke treatment packages are available and can be tailored to your individual requirements, treatment areas and goals.

How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?

IPL uses carefully controlled pulses of light energy that are absorbed by the melanin within the hair follicle. The light energy is converted into heat, damaging the follicle and reducing its ability to produce new hair.

As hair grows in different cycles, multiple treatments are required to effectively target follicles during their active growth phase. This is why a course of treatments is recommended to achieve optimal results.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

IPL Hair Removal can be used on a variety of areas, including:

  • Upper lip and chin

  • Sideburns and full face

  • Underarms

  • Arms and hands

  • Bikini area and perianal region

  • Legs, feet & toes

  • Chest and abdomen

  • Back and shoulders

  • Nipples and navel line

IPL tends to achieve the best results on individuals with lighter skin tones and darker hair, as the treatment relies on targeting pigment within the hair follicle.

A thorough consultation and patch test are essential to assess suitability and ensure treatment can be carried out safely and effectively. Certain hair colours, including very blonde, grey, white and red hair, may not respond well to IPL treatment

What Does the Treatment Feel Like?

Sensations during treatment vary from person to person and the area being treated. Most clients describe the feeling as a brief warming sensation or the "hot flick" of an elastic band against the skin.

Thanks to integrated cooling technology, treatment is generally well tolerated, and discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments required will vary depending on factors such as the treatment area, hair density, hair colour and individual hormonal influences.

Many clients notice a reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions; however, a course of 6–12 treatments is typically recommended to achieve the best possible outcome. Treatments are usually scheduled 4–6 weeks apart for facial areas and 6–8 weeks apart for the body.

Your practitioner will discuss a personalised treatment plan during your consultation

Are the Results Permanent?

IPL Hair Removal provides long-term hair reduction, with many clients experiencing a significant and lasting decrease in hair growth.

As hormonal changes and dormant follicles can stimulate new hair growth over time, occasional maintenance treatments every 6–12 months may be recommended to maintain your results
