How does light assisted (IPL) hair removal work?

IPL uses gentle pulses of broad-spectrum light to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the hair, heating the follicle and damaging it to inhibit future growth. Over time, this results in a significant reduction of unwanted hair. 

How is the treatment carried out?

A cooling gel is applied to the treatment area, and a handheld IPL device is gently pressed against the skin. Controlled light pulses are emitted over the area, targeting hair follicles beneath the surface. The process is methodical and adapted to your comfort and skin type.

Am I suitable for treatment?

IPL hair removal works best on individuals with lighter skin and darker hair, as the light targets pigment in the hair. During your consultation, we assess your skin tone, hair colour, and medical history to ensure IPL is safe and effective for you.

How does the treatment feel?

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild, warm flick—similar to a rubber band snapping lightly against the skin. It's generally well tolerated, especially with the cooling gel and advanced IPL systems we use to minimise discomfort.

What will I see after the treatment?

You may notice some redness or mild warmth in the treated area, which typically fades within a few hours. Over the following days, treated hairs will begin to shed naturally. With each session, you’ll see a gradual thinning and reduction in hair growth.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are usually minimal. Temporary redness, slight swelling, or a warm sensation may occur immediately after treatment. Rarely, skin may feel dry or slightly sensitive. All effects are discussed during your consultation to ensure you're fully informed.

How many treatments are necessary?

Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are required to target all follicles effectively. Most clients need between 6–8 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal, long-lasting results. Maintenance sessions may be needed over time.

How long does each treatment take?

The duration depends on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms take just 10–15 minutes, while larger areas such as the legs or back may take up to an hour.

What is the consultation procedure?

Your initial consultation includes a skin assessment, discussion of your goals, and a patch test to check your skin’s response to IPL. We'll review your medical history and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your hair type and skin tone.
