Treat hair follicles with multi-spectrum Intense Pulsed Light to hinder regrowth right down to the roots, for silky smooth, hairless skin.

How it Works

The process of intense pulsed light uses wavelengths which create heat to target hair follicles specifically. The system pulses for a fraction of a second, which is just long enough to disrupt the hair follicle.e thermal damage caused to the follicle causes delayed regrowth of hairs or complete destruction of the hair follicle.

A course of 6-8 treatments at set intervals is required to abrupt the overall hair growth. Some individuals may require up to 12 treatments depending on a variety of factors. As in later years natural hormonal activity in the body may mean some top up treatments may be required.

The Benefits

  • Quick and easy – IPL devices have a large treatment window and are able to cover large areas quickly (compared to laser or electrolysis)
  • No unsightly growth – you can shave between treatments and, unlike waxing, epilating or using depilatories, you do not need to allow the hair to grow at all for IPL to be effective
  • Permanent results – You will see a reduction in returning hair growth more evidently after each treatment, as long as you keep to the scheduled treatment time frames.
  • Lighter re-growth – hair that does re-grow will become lighter and finer and less easy to see.
  • Our IPL equipment is able to target blonde and red hair types, unlike laser that is only able to target dark hair

What to Expect

Your therapist will discuss and assess your IPL needs based on your goals, creating the perfect IPL schedule to achieve them.

  • Shower and exfoliate the skin the day of the treatment.
  • Do not apply skin care products such as lotions and moisturises prior to treatment.

  • From 5 – 14 days after treatment, shedding of the hair may occur. This may be mistaken as new growth, however it is actually the dead hair pushing its way out from the follicle.
