creates thermal heat that is absorbed into
the hair follicle to destroy it and its feeder
vessels.

Is IPL hair removal for you?
IPL is a non-invasive, gentle long-lasting
solution for your unwanted hair. It is a
safe and effective way to achieve
smooth, hair-free skin. All areas of the
face and body (including Brazilian) can
be treated comfortably with IPL hair
removal.
How many treatments will I need?
A minimum of 6-8 treatments is
usually required. Every person’s hair
growth pattern is different and the
number of treatments required will
vary depending on the colour of your
skin and hair. IPL hair removal is most
effective during the active stage of the
hair growth and so intervals will begin
at 4-6 weeks.

Are there any side effects?
It is normal to experience some redness
and applying an ice pack afterwards can
ease tenderness of the skin and
occasionally some very mild swelling.
Most clients tolerate IPL hair removal
with little discomfort.
What should I do before treatment?
It is extremely important to avoid sun
exposure, tanning beds and fake tans
for at least 3-4 weeks before
treatment. You must also stop
waxing, plucking or epilating at least
3-4 weeks before treatment. Shaving
is allowed. Before each treatment you
need to shave the area 36-48 hours in
advance.
What should I do after treatment?
There is no downtime and you can return
to normal activities afterwards. Avoid hot
water, heat, chlorinated pools and
antiperspirants (for underarms) on the
day of treatment. You should not pluck or
wax the hairs in between IPL treatments.
It is also important to avoid the sun for
several weeks, and to wear a 30+
sunscreen afterwards.
