IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is a type of light treatment that uses strong pulses of light to stimulate or treat various issues within the skin. IPL is a different treatment to laser but is similar in principle: both direct light at the pigmentation in the hair, causing a burst of heat that damages or kills the cells that cause that hair to grow.

The answer to this question depends on your pain threshold. The sensation is usually compared to that of an elastic-band flick – but our IPL machine has an integrated cooling system that cools the skin to reduce discomfort.

The minimum recommended amount of sessions is 6 but most people will need 8-12 sessions to see full results.

Our hair has growing cycles just like your skin does: growth phase, rest phase, and shedding phase. One of the main reasons why you need to do a min of 6 treatments with IPL , is because your hairs are not all in the same phase of the cycle at the same time. So to treat all of them and reduce them permanently we have to follow the cycles.

Treatments are done every 4-6 weeks. Results can be visible in as little as three weeks but differ from person to person, depending on various factors.
