IPL Permanent Hair Removal

The IPL Permanent Hair Removal Process
Consultation:
A comprehensive consultation with our skilled professionals to assess your hair and skin type, and determine the suitability of IPL treatment.
​
Preparation:
The treatment area will be cleansed and prepped. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the light.
​
IPL Treatment:
The IPL device is used to deliver controlled pulses of light to the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, destroying the follicles and inhibiting future growth.
​
Post-Treatment Care:
After the procedure, soothing products are applied to the treated area, and you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
What to Expect After IPL Permanent Hair Removal
- Immediate Effects:
Slight redness and swelling in the treated area are common and usually subside within a few hours.
​
- Hair Shedding:
Treated hair will fall out over the next few weeks as the follicles are destroyed.
​
- Multiple Sessions:
Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results, as hair grows in cycles and IPL is most effective during the active growth phase.
Who Are Not Ideal Candidates for IPL Permanent Hair Removal?
- Light or Grey Hair:
IPL is less effective on light, blonde, grey, or red hair as these hair colors have less pigment for the light to target.
​
- Pregnant or Nursing Women:
It is recommended to avoid IPL treatments during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
​
- Active Skin Infections:
Those with active skin infections or severe acne in the treatment area should wait until the condition is resolved.
​
- Certain Medical Conditions:
Individuals with certain medical conditions or those on specific medications should consult with their doctor before undergoing IPL treatment.
