Hair Removal

What Is IPL Hair Removal?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a full spectrum light which uses filtered light (energy) delivered through a hand piece into the skin to target the pigmented hair follicle cells. As these unwanted cells are selectively destroyed, so is the hair associated with them, permanently!

Why should I choose this technique?
IPL is the latest technique for permanent hair removal, tested and proven to be very effective on most hair types. If you’ve tried electrolysis, you know that it targets only one hair follicle at a time, ending up being very time-intensive and costly and painful. Old laser hair removal systems— the standard up to now—always presented the possibility of burns, lesions and skin discolorations, by overexposure or improper treatment. IPL offers a safe, quick, and relatively painless alternative that is proven to work!

How many treatments will I need?
Because hair grows in cycles, several treatments will be required to destroy all the hair follicles as they mature at different times. On average, 5 treatments will be necessary. The treatments are spread out over 4 to 6 weeks for facial hair; and 6 to 8 weeks for body hair.

Before treatment, what should I do?
Avoid sun exposure (especially without sunscreen!) for minimally 4 days before (and after) treatment. Discontinue any exfoliating skin care products 2 days before (and after) treatment, including Alpha and Beta hydroxy acids, Retin A, and chemical peels. No plucking, tweezing, waxing or electrolysis 6 weeks before treatments. Check with your physician regarding any medications you may be taking that make the skin photosensitive or photo-reactive. Shave the area to be treated the night before.

After treatment, what should I do?
Use aloe vera, witch hazel or our recommended products to soothe the skin after treatment. Avoid sun exposure (use SPF30 daily) as photosensitivity may be increased as a result of treatment.

Is hair removal guaranteed?
