How does IPL work?
A fully trained therapist will apply a specially designed hand piece to your skin and generate an intense pulse of light which will be absorbed by targets in your skin. The light delivered from the hand piece is delivered at high intensity during a very short period of time. It is this rapid discharge of light that provides the high energy levels required for each IPL treatment to be effective!

What happens during my treatment
You will be asked to shave the areas 2-3 days before your treatment so we can see their area however not have a thickness to the hair. We will then mark the area up to ensure full coverage and then apply a cooling gel to the area. As IPL is effective through light and heat, our IPL has a cooling system in the hand piece to make the treatment comfortable.
we will then either perform the treatment in a sweeping motion back and forth approx 10 times ( this is very quick) or in smaller areas apply a stamping motion where the light is released very quickly destroying the hair follicular.
hair reduction can be seen instantly and some areas may exfoliant off over 1 week - 30 days.
What are the precautions?
It is important to apply SPF to the areas post procedure. After a couple of days it is advised to exfoliate your skin to assist in the hair removal & help the remaining hair fall out.
Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatments.
A treament protocol form & consultation form will be provided to you.
How many treatments will I need?
The amount of treatments required will vary from person and also the treatment area. For most people an average of six to eight sessions are required to permanently reduce hair in the bikini or under arm area and we find that clients are amazed at the results one treatment can do. Various factors that come into play with the number of treatments such as the colour of your hair and skin, as well as factors such as hormone levels, hair follicle size and hair cycles.
