IPL hair removal

What is it?

Intense pulsed light emits flashes that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. That heat reaches the root and weakens its ability to grow hair again.

It works on the hairs that are growing at that moment. Since not all hairs grow at the same time, the result builds up session by session: that is why we work with plans.

Benefits

• Gradual reduction of hair in the treated area.
• Less irritation and fewer ingrown hairs than with a razor or wax.
• Smoother, more even skin between sessions.
• Short sessions, depending on the size of the area.

Who is it for?

• Anyone who wants to stop removing hair so often.
• Anyone who gets irritation or ingrown hairs from hair removal.
• It works best on dark hair; very light, blonde or grey hair responds less.

What a session is like

1. 01We check the area, which should be shaved.
2. 02We apply cold gel and give you eye protection.
3. 03We pass the handpiece over the area: you feel a brief warmth, like a snap.
4. 04We finish with a soothing product and sunscreen.

How many sessions?

Hair grows in cycles, so plans run from 8 to 12 sessions. The interval between sessions is set at your assessment and is usually 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the area.

Before your session

• The week before. Avoid sun exposure and do not use products that sensitize the skin, such as retinol or self-tanners.
• 12 to 24 hours before. Shave the area before your session to prepare the skin and avoid irritation.
• Before your session. Come with clean skin, free of makeup, creams or oils.
• During your treatment. Do not go back to methods that pull out the hair, such as wax or tweezers.

Following these instructions helps maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and minimize the risk of irritation or unwanted effects.

After your session

• Use sunscreen on the area.
• Avoid sun, sauna and intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
• Between sessions, only a razor: no wax or tweezers.
