Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal provides a safe, non-invasive, and long-lasting solution for reducing unwanted hair. Controlled pulses of light energy target the pigment in hair follicles, slowing and eventually stopping regrowth—leaving skin smoother, softer, and more refined.
Treatment & TechnologyÂ
IPL delivers broad-spectrum light to the skin, which is absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft. This light is converted to heat, damaging the follicle and reducing its ability to grow new hair.
Common Treated AreasÂ
We can customize your treatment plan to include one or more areas:
- Full legsÂ
- Brazilian or bikini areaÂ
- UnderarmsÂ
- Chin, lip, jawlineÂ
- GlabellaÂ
- Ears and noseÂ
- Chest and abdomenÂ
- Full back and shouldersÂ
- Hands and feetÂ
What to Know Before Your TreatmentÂ
To ensure optimal results and a safe experience, please review the following guidelines before your IPL hair removal session:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Tanned or sunburned skin increases the risk of burns or pigmentation changes. Â
- Discontinue self-tanning products and spray tans for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.Â
- Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliants, or photosensitizing products at least 3 days prior Â
- Avoid waxing or depilatory creams in the treatment area for 48 hours prior. Â
- Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours prior to your appointmentÂ
- Inform your technician of any medications, skincare products, or medical conditions you may have. Â
