Do you find it frustrating having to reach for the razor every couple of days?

If you’ve answered yes… we’re here for you! It’s time to ditch the razor and say hello to silky-smooth skin.

How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, hair removal is a popular and effective method for long-term hair reduction. This innovative technique works by emitting bursts of intense light onto the skin, targeting the melanin, or pigment, within the hair follicles. As the light is absorbed by the hair follicles, it transforms into heat, effectively damaging the follicle's ability to regrow hair. Over a series of treatment sessions, the hair follicles gradually become weaker, resulting in slower and sparser hair growth. Unlike traditional methods like waxing or shaving, IPL hair removal offers a more permanent solution, leaving you with smooth and hair-free skin.

As IPL works by targeting the pigment in your hair, we are unable to treat any blonde, red or grey hairs.

How Does The Treatment Feel?

The best way to describe the feeling of Laser / IPL Hair Removal is a flicking sensation (imagine flicking your skin with an elastic band). It’s a very tolerable sensation, that should subside very quickly. We also offer cooling of the skin to make it even more comfortable. Certain body areas may be a little more sensitive, but nothing that isn’t tolerable. We can also adjust the machine settings to ensure your tolerance and comfort. Many clients have explained that it is more comfortable to receive than waxing.

 

How To Prepare For Your Treatment:

To get the best results from your laser treatments, we recommend following our pre-treatment advice:

  • For the laser to be able to target your hair follicle, please avoid waxing or tweezing on the area for at least 4 weeks before your first session.

  • For your consultation, we ask that your arrive with a small bit of hair in the area. For your full sessions, we ask if you could remove the hair using a clean razor the night before.

  • Please avoid any sun exposure for at least 4 weeks before each treatment.

  • Fake tan must also be completely removed before any treatment. We recommend leaving the skin free of any self-tanner for at least 2 weeks.

Our Post-Treatment Advice:

  • Redness and swollen follicles in the area being treated is completely normal. This should subside after 24-48 hours.

  • Avoid UV exposure for at least 2 weeks after your treatment. If you are in the sun, please use a high factor sunscreen.

  • Apply our “Light Soothe” gel to the area to keep skin calm.

  • Avoid perfumed products on the area for at least 24 hours.

  • Following your treatments, your hairs can begin to fall out from 1-3 weeks.

Remember That It’s YOUR Journey.

With Laser/IPL Hair Removal, everyone’s journey is different. Our hair responds to the laser differently. Be patient with your treatments and trust the process.

Your hair growth can change throughout your course of treatments and it’s important that you complete your full course.

Trust us, it will be 100% worth it when you can finally say goodbye to your razor.
