Is it right for you?
More advanced than even lasers, IPL is the first photorespiration technology proven to treat unwanted hair safely on most skin types. In order to ensure the best outcome, a private consultation will be required in order to estimate the results you should expect from your customized treatment program.

How does IPL remove hair?
Highly controlled flashes of light are selectively absorbed by hair-filled follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which damages and destroys re-growth potential of the follicle. All without damaging the surrounding tissue.

What happens during a treatment?
it begins by trimming away the hair above the skin. You may be asked to wear dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. Next, a cold gel (similar to ultrasound gel ) may be spread over the treatment area. The IPL hand-piece is then applied disabling your unwanted hair. When the gel is removed, much of the hair is wiped off with it. The remaining hair in the treated area falls out over the next week or two.

What does the treatment like?
Each pulse of light feels lie a slight sting or pinch, similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anaesthesia is required and most people tolerate the treatment well.

Can all hair be treated?
IPL's unique design offers you customized treatment according to your hair colour, texture, skin colour and body location. Any hair with at least some pigment in it (black, brown, red and dark blond) can be treated effectively.

Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. You may experience some slight reddening or local swelling at the treatment site; but this typically goes away within hours. On rare occasions some blistering or bruising may occur, but typically resolves quickly. Also, the skin can become darker or lighter following treatment, but will generally return to normal within a few weeks. Limiting sun exposure before and after each treatment will minimize the risk of complications. You can generally return to work and resume all regular activities immediately.

What kind of results should I expect?
IPL technology has been proven to create a permanent reduction in the number of re-growing hairs following each treatment in most skin types. The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to your specific kind of hair and skin. A customized treatment program will be designed for you along with an estimate of how many treatments you may need in order to meet your expectations .
