What does a IPL hair removal involve?
A cooling gel is typically applied to your treatment area first. If you are having this treatment in a sensitive area, you may require an anaesthetic cream to make the treatment more comfortable.
You will be given protective eyewear to wear during treatment to protect your eyes from the light generated by IPL hair removal.
Your practitioner will then administer pulses of light progressively over your skin in the treatment area using a hand-held applicator.
Treatment time will depend on the area being treated. Facial treatment normally takes ten minutes. Legs or an entire back may take 1.5 to two hours.
A series of treatments may be required to fully remove your body hair from the targeted area. An interval of two months is typically allocated between each treatment.

IPL hair removal recovery and aftercare
You should have no downtime with IPL hair removal, so you can return to work and your normal daily activities straight away.
After treatment, you may experience slight redness and tenderness of the treatment area that should calm down within a few days.
Stubble may appear a few days after treatment. This is the thermally damaged hair detaching from the follicle.
