FAQS
Q: How does IPL Hair Reduction work?
IPL targets the pigment in the hair follicle with pulses of light. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the follicle and reduces its ability to produce new hair. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to catch hairs in the active growth phase.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require a series of sessions – often 6–10 or more – spaced several weeks apart, depending on area, hair colour, skin type, and hormonal influences. We’ll discuss realistic expectations and a recommended schedule during your consultation.
Q: Does IPL Hair Reduction hurt?
Most people describe it as a quick, warm flick or elastic band snap. Sensitivity varies by area and individual pain threshold. We adjust settings carefully and prioritise your comfort while maintaining effectiveness.
Q: Is IPL suitable for all hair colours and skin tones?
IPL works best on darker hair with lighter surrounding skin because it relies on the contrast between hair pigment and skin. Very blonde, grey, or red hair may not respond well. Certain skin tones and conditions may not be suitable. That’s why consultation and test patching are essential.
Q: How should I prepare before treatment?
You’ll need to avoid sun exposure, fake tan, and waxing or plucking for a period before treatment. We usually ask that you shave the treatment area 24 hours prior. We’ll give you detailed prep and aftercare instructions at your consultation.
