Preperation & Post Care
Before your IPL treatment
- Stay out of the sun or solariums for at least two weeks before your treatment. Sun exposure can lead to damaging the skin and increase the risk of pigmentation and burns
- Self tan or spray tan cannot be used for two weeks before your treatment. the dark pigment attracts the light and can result in pigmentation and discolouration of the treated area
- Please ensure the area to be treated is shaved before attending your appointment
- Do not wax of pluck for 4-6 weeks before and during the course of your treatment. removing hair from the root means there is no hair for the IPL to target, shaving ot ok between treatments
After you IPL Treatment
- Apply our BB repair gel to the treated area for the next 48 hours to help soothe the skin
- Avoid vigorous excercise and sweating for 24 hours
- After 7 days, be sure to exfoliate the treated area 2-3 times per week

Understanding IPL
Say goodbye to unwanted hair with IPL hair removal, a stellar innovation in the beauty world!
The science and process of IPL hair removal
In the world of IPL, it’s all about melanin – the pigment that adds colour to our hair and skin. Here’s how it works: IPL hair removal emits a broad spectrum of light that is absorbed by melanin and converted into heat. By zapping those follicles with heat, we can keep those unwanted hairs at bay.
How IPL hair removal works: a step-by-step guide
With IPL hair removal, your journey begins with an IPL device emitting gentle pulses of light eagerly absorbed by your hair pigment. The light energy then takes a transformative journey, turning into heat and sabotaging those pesky cells responsible for hair growth. With each session, you’ll notice hairs are finer and fewer.
Depending on your hair, skin type, and a few other factors, you’ll get significant, long-term hair reduction. Hello, low maintenance!
Safety and eligibility: who can opt for IPL hair removal
Before you dive headfirst into the world of IPL hair removal, let’s discuss eligibility.
Is IPL ideal for everyone? Not necessarily. Pregnant women, those with photosensitivity or very dark skin, and anyone on certain medications should step back and have a little chat with a professional first. Safety first, always, dear readers!
The results: before and after IPL hair removal
So, does IPL hair removal work? Many have noticed a bit less hair after just one round of IPL hair removal. Talk about a smooth operator!
But let’s remember that results may vary – after all, we’re all unique! For the best results after your IPL treatment, make sure you’re following all the rules, like avoiding plucking, waxing, or threading for at least six weeks before your session.
As always, ensure you’ve had a chat with your therapist about whether IPL is the ideal fit for you.
Choosing the right hair removal method
How does IPL treatment compare with laser?
Are you confused about the difference between IPL and laser hair removal? Well, here’s the scoop. IPL works best for light skin types with its range of light energies. It may take more sessions to achieve hair reduction, but each session is usually quick – you may even be able to squeeze it into your schedule as a lunchtime appointment!
On the other hand, the diode laser has a smaller spot size, which means the energy is more focused on a particular area, but your session may take longer.
Both laser and IPL devices have cooling systems to minimise your discomfort. Some of our clients experience less pain with IPL than with laser, but it really comes down to how your individual skin reacts to the treatment.
Traditional methods: IPL hair removal vs traditional waxing
In the world of hair removal, traditional waxing has been a reliable option, offering quick and affordable service. But if you’re looking for long-lasting hair reduction, try IPL hair removal, the tech-savvy contender.
Making the decision: choosing the best method for hair removal
Selecting a hair removal method requires careful evaluation of the pros and cons of each option. Ultimately, your choice depends on personal preference, pain tolerance, skin type, and the area you want to treat. Consult with a pro to make sure you’re making the best decision. They’ll have all the inside scoop to help you out.
Preparing for your IPL hair removal journey
Consultation and scheduling: preparing for an IPL treatment
Ready to get your glow on? Before you start your IPL treatment, schedule a meeting with a specialist. They’ll explain the difference between waxing, IPL, and laser hair removal and check if IPL is the best option for you based on your skin and hair type.
Feel free to ask any questions about the IPL process, what results you can expect, and any possible side effects, as it’s important to be well-informed before your IPL treatment. After your meeting, take some time to think about the information you’ve received and decide if IPL is the right choice for you.
Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the specialist to a T, like avoiding sunlight and certain skincare products. Trust us – your skin will thank you!
The treatment day: what to expect during and after the IPL treatment
During your IPL treatment, you might feel a slight pinch as the light pulses are delivered to your skin. But no worries! A cooling gel is applied to reduce any discomfort.
After the treatment, your skin may be a little red, but it’s just your skin’s way of saying, ‘Hey, that’s new!’ This should go away within a few hours. Steer clear of sunlight and harsh skincare products for at least a day after the treatment.
Post-treatment care: ongoing care and maintenance after IPL treatment
Now that you’ve had your IPL session, let’s make sure you keep that gorgeous glow going strong. Just remember to follow those post-treatment care instructions like a boss, and you’ll be looking radiant in no time.
Do’s:
- Use a soothing gel to reduce redness and irritation.
- Apply sunscreen of at least SPF 15 on the treated areas exposed to sunlight.
- Exfoliate the area every few days a week after your laser hair removal treatment.
Don’ts:
- Avoid scratching or picking at your skin, which can slow down healing.
- Avoid exposing the treated area to the sun for at least two weeks after the treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Have you ever wondered if IPL hair removal hurts? You’re not alone! Similar to other beauty treatments like eyebrow waxing, brow lamination, or lash lifts, some people are concerned about pain during IPL.
You’ll be glad to know that IPL devices have cooling systems that help minimise discomfort during treatment, making the IPL hair reduction process generally less painful than waxing.
It’s worth noting, however, that some people experience a snapping sensation with IPL, similar to a rubber band being snapped against the skin. If you have sensitive skin, we can adjust your IPL to keep it comfy.
Although it’s a common misconception, IPL hair removal isn’t permanent, though you may notice long-term hair reduction. You only need to schedule maintenance appointments a few times each year to maintain hair-free skin.
The number of maintenance appointments you need depends on your medical history, skin type, and individual response to treatment. Also, you won’t see results from this treatment right away since it typically takes six to ten sessions, depending on your skin and hair type. Similar to waxing, IPL treatments are typically scheduled every four to six weeks.
Let’s face it, ladies – we all crave that perfect bikini line. And the quick answer to whether IPL hair removal is safe for pubic hair is yes, it is! This procedure has been used successfully by many women to maintain their intimate regions. Trust the experts for your hair down there, and reach out to a therapist if you’re IPL-curious.
