What is IPL
The IPL process uses intense pulsed light to gently remove unwanted hair, putting an end to routine shaving and waxing. IPL treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smoother and silkier.
This patented technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatments to deliver long lasting results. IPL's wide beam treats larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face rather than treating one hair at a time.
Best of all, IPL treatments are a safe, fast, gentle and effective alternative method for hair removal.
IPL treatments differ from Electrolysis which is a much slower process. With electrolysis, a needle is actually inserted into each hair follicle, one at a time. Once inserted, an electric shock burns the follicle to retard growth.
IPL hair removal treatments only use intense pulsed light energy. This is unique because it is relatively painless and unlike the laser hair removal process, IPL works equally well on most skin pigmentations without removing any of the pigment. IPL hair removal can also safely and effectively eliminate hair of brown and black colours.
With the IPL process, we can gently treat hair in sensitive areas such as the lip, nipples and bikini lines while maintaining a healthy, normal appearance of the surrounding tissue.

Frequently asked questions:
What you need to do prior to, or after, treatment?
It is advisable to keep the treatment area out of the sun, and away from tanning beds for 6 weeks prior to any treatment to ensure that your skin is as close as possible to its natural colour this includes fake tan. You must ensure that all cosmetics are removed from the treatment area with a good cleanser and then allow the skin to settle. As the skin might be slightly more sensitive post-treatment it is recommended to use skin products developed for sensitive skin and again avoid the use of sun or tanning beds.
