What to expect

How does IPL Hair Removal work?

Performed during your hair’s growth phase, our SHR technology emits light at a precise wavelength. This light is absorbed by your hair’s pigment and within a fraction of a second, is pulsed to disrupt the hair follicle and delay regrowth. This process continues throughout your treatment series which leads to permanent destruction.

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments required will vary from person to person but typically, a course of 8-10 treatments every 4-6 weeks is required with annual maintenance treatments recommended for optimal results.

I’m booked in for a treatment! Do I need to do anything beforehand?

24-48 hours prior to your treatment, we ask you to please shave the treatment area. Please ensure no fake tan is used within 14 days. Moisturisers and exfoliants should be avoided within 24 hours prior, and recent sun exposure should be limited.

What happens during my treatment?

Following your treatment, you may experience redness to the treatment area that feels similar to a sunburn. A cold compress or aloe vera gel can be applied to soothe any discomfort. We strongly encourage our patients to avoid sun exposure to the treatment area following their treatment and avoid the use of any additional hair removal methods.

What can I expect afterwards?

Following your treatment, your skin may appear pink for a few hours post-treatment which can be easily concealed with mineral makeup.
