IPL Permanent Hair Removal Information

Hair Removal Treatments


IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is a non-invasive light-based technology used to permanently remove unwanted hair. IPL is suitable for a wider range of hair colours compared to laser hair removal, including blonde and red hair. 


IPL is a leading choice when seeking permanent and hassle-free hair removal solutions. In addition, IPL offers a great way to save on the ongoing cost and time spent on waxing, shaving and depilatory creams. 


Usually a course of 6-8 treatments is required to achieve an optimal result, but once you've completed your treatment cycle, you can look forward to a lifetime of smooth skin with only the occasional maintenance treatment.


Is IPL Permanent Hair Removal suitable for me? Treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and hair colours. Your clinician will discuss your expected results during your consultation. 

How many treatments will I need? This depends on your individual hair type. Most clients require 6-8 sessions to receive optimum results though hair will reduce and become finer with each treatment. For some, maintenance treatments may be required to achieve a lifetime of smooth skin. This will depend on a range of factors which your clinician will discuss during your consultation. 

How long do I have to wait between treatments? Treatments must be conducted at regular intervals. Generally, 4-6 weeks between treatments are recommended, depending on the area being treated. 

What can I expect after my IPL sessions? Facial hair will take 7-10 days to fall out while body hair may take 2-3 weeks. Individual results will depend on your skin type, hair coarseness and natural growth cycle. Your clinician will be able to provide you more information on what to expect based on your own individual situation during your consultation.

Pre-Treatment Recommendation:

  • Avoid waxing, tweezing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis for 4 weeks before and between treatments.
  • Do not use prescription-strength exfoliant creams (such as Retin-A or Alpha Hydroxy) for 2 weeks before treatment.
  • Shave the night before each subsequent treatment.
  • Refrain from tanning, including self-tanning lotions, tanning beds/booths, or sun exposure, for 4 weeks before and between treatments. Always wear sunscreen.
  • Some medications can increase photosensitivity with IPL treatments. If you are taking any of the following, inform your clinician:
    • Antibiotics: doxycycline (acne), minocycline, Tetracyclines, Sulphonamides
    • Antihistamines: Diphenhydramine, Cyproheptadine
    • Antidepressants
    • Herbal supplements: St. John's Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, Citrus Oils, Herbal HRT therapies (Taking these medications doesn't exclude you from IPL treatments, but extra precautions may be needed.)

 

Post-Treatment Recommendation:

  • A mild sunburn-like sensation is normal and typically resolves within 2-3 hours after treatment, though it may last up to 2 days.
  • To soothe the skin, apply chilled aloe vera gel or an ice pack for 5 to 10 minutes every hour until symptoms subside.
  • Avoid sun exposure to the treated areas, and apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to any sun-exposed treated areas between treatments and for 4-6 weeks following the last treatment.
  • You can shower as usual, but be aware that the treated areas may be temperature sensitive. During the healing phase, avoid using strongly scented lotions, soaps, exfoliants, loofahs, or scrubbing the treated areas.
  • "Stubble" may appear 1 to 4 weeks after treatment. This is not new hair growth; allow it to naturally shed from the skin.
  • Do not pluck or tweeze the hair, but shaving is allowed.
  • For optimal results, a follow-up treatment is recommended once hair begins to regrow.
