IPL- what is it & why should I consider it?

IPL - Intensive Pulse light - uses non-invasive, broad-spectrum light to treat unwanted hair on the face & body.

Using IPL, we aim to cause targeted destruction of hair follicles without causing damage to the surrounding tissue, ensuring there is perminate hair reduction at the targeted area.

This is done by heating the hair & follicle up with the correct light filter for your skin type.

It will feel like a flick of an elastic band or if you’ve had waxing before similar to waxing without the after sting.

How many treatments do I need?

The body requires approx 7-12 treatments. This will depend on how your skin tollerates IPL along with your pain tollarence for our recommended settings.

The face will require 6-10 treatments but consistant maintence treatments there after if triggered by hormones.

Who can get IPL?

IPL is extremely effective for clients who suffer from:

·       Ingrowns

·       Very thick, dark hair

·       Hair that is of a much darker contrast to their skin

·       5 o’clock shadow

·       lack of Confidence in wearing bathers

Do you have light coloured facial hair?

We can help with that too!

Facial hair is a tricky beast, most of the time it is hormonal driven &/ lighter in colour (grey, light brown, red). It requires consistent maintenance & 3-8weekly visits.

It takes a little more patience & a few more treatments but we have been successful with a method we call Wax VAS IPL in taming the trickiest of  hairs.

This method uses the vascular setting on our machine to coagulate the blood supply to the hair follicle after we wax the hair away.

After a few sessions we hope to be able to extend out your daily shaving routine to not even noticing & seeing you every 5-8 weeks after initially seeing you 2-3 weekly.
