IPL HAIR REMOVAL

IPL Hair Removal is a fast, safe and highly effective method of hair reduction that is tried and tested to give long-term results. Our education ensures that all of our qualified therapists are highly trained in selecting the correct IPL Hair Removal settings and treatment options for your individual skin and hair type. We can treat most areas of the face and body including- underarms, bikini, extended bikini, Brazilian, upper lip, chin and male shoulders, back and chest.

The light from the IPL hand piece targets the pigment (which gives hair its colour) in the hair follicle deep in the skin. The light is attracted to the pigment in the follicle and heats it inhibiting it from being able to grow new hair in future.

Hair grows in 3 phases and is treatable in the first “anagen” active growing phase. Therefore, 6 – 8 sessions, generally 4-6 weeks apart, are required to target all hair in the active growth phase.

Clinical results have shown that dark hair and light skin makes the most successful combination. Patients with darker skin or lighter coloured hair can also be treated, but may require more treatments than average as the machine settings must be reduced for their safety. Unfortunately blonde and grey hairs cannot be detected by the light and their results are variable.
