IPL Permanent Hair Reduction

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a very effective way to permanently reduce your hair growth from 65% to 90%*.  We use the SkinBase IPL system and we can work on most areas of the body, bikini, underarms, legs and much more.

We have answered a few regular questions below, however, a full consultation is absolutely necessary along with a patch test prior to any further treatments.

How does it work?

When used for hair reduction the light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and is converted into heat. This damages the follicle making it unable to support further hair growth. The number of treatments required will vary but you should expect to see significant results within 3-6 treatments. A full course of 6 to 10 treatments may be required to achieve long-lasting results. Treatments should be no more than every 3-4 weeks on each area being treated.

Does it hurt?

With the unique Cryo handset that is used in the SkinBase system to cool the skin during treatment, it makes the treatment almost completely pain free. In some cases, you might feel a slight warming sensation or the feeling of the flick of a rubber band on the skin.

Who can it treat?

IPL has been clinically proven to work on almost all skin types except very dark skin. Click here to see if you are suitable for this treatment.

Is the treatment safe?

We are working with The SkinBase IPL system. This is a Medically CE certified system that has been independently tested and verified by one of the country’s leading experts on IPL. Consultation and patch test is compulsory. 

Aftercare is so important.

When you undertake a course of IPL hair reduction treatments with us, you will be advised what your pre and post-treatment care will be.  It is very important that you abide by these instructions, and if you have any questions at any time you must contact the salon immediately.

Here is a guide to prices for IPL permanent hair reduction.

These prices are a guide and your treatment will be very personal to your needs, hair type and skin type.

*Results will vary on each client. To achieve the best results, IPL needs to be undertaken with Emma or Laura-Jayne as a planned out course of treatments. She will monitor your progress throughout your course and make adjustments to achieve the best results possible.

Online booking is not available for this treatment as consultation and a patch test is essential. So please call the salon to arrange your patch test appointment 01217497000
