Let the experts develop your bespoke treatment plan.
During a treatment shots of intense pulsed light are targeted towards the skin through a gel to offer protection. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, quickly turning to heat, which then destroys the growing cells that make the hair.
For the IPL to work effectively shaving is the method of hair removal required in between treatments. Waxing, epilation and electrolysis can not be used as this removes the hair from the follicle.
During your consultation a detailed medical history will be taken, helping the practitioner to determine whether treatment is an appropriate product/treatment for you to receive and whether it will help you achieve the results that you are looking for. This will also reduce the risk of any unwanted side effects from the treatment. During this consultation the potential risks and aftercare recommendations are discussed.If you still have questions about this treatment please contact us.

Once you begin your course of laser hair removal, it is important that you SHAVE between treatments, as this does not affect the follicle. DO NOT wax, pluck or epilate. This will have the opposite intended effect, as you are strengthening the follicle we are trying to destroy.
For hair removal we have a 30 day before and after no sun exposure rule which includes sun beds and tanning creams. These can cause hypo / hyper pigmentation problems within the skin.
- A soothing gel such as arnica or aloe vera can be applied to the area
- Avoid extreme temperatures such as hot baths, sauna’s and steamrooms for 24-48 hours post treatment
- Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach and heavily perfumed products for 48 hours
- Avoid make up for 24 hours post treatment
- Avoid exfoliation for 10 days post treatment.
