40 Minutes £74

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser hair removal is used to reduce unwanted hair growth. It works by emitting a broad spectrum of light that targets the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment, which generates heat and destroys the hair follicle, inhibiting future hair growth.

2. Treatment Areas: IPL can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.

5. Downtime: Possible side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary discomfort in the treated area. If the skin is not cooled properly and after care advice is followed, downtime will be limited.

6. Effectiveness: Results can vary based on individual skin and hair types, plus other issues such as medications taken during the process. This will be discussed at length during consultation. IPL laser hair removal is a popular and generally effective method for long-term hair reduction.
