Sick of waxing, plucking, shaving or using hair removal creams? Looking for long-lasting results without all the upkeep? Look no further than IPL laser hair removal. Combining Diode Laser technology and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), this treatment is pain-free, effective, quick, and – best of all – affordable. Suitable for light to dark skin tones, the laser targets melanin-rich (pigmented) hairs, meaning the hairs need to be dark enough for the laser to pick them up. By creating heat, the IPL technology weakens and destroys the hair follicle, preventing further growth.

 

Before your appointment:​

• Avoid sun exposure in area/s of treatment

• Refrain from putting on make-up, moisturizers, deodorant, fake tan, or any other products

• Avoid using hair removal creams, waxing, plucking the hairs 3 weeks prior to the appointment (Only shaving is allowed

• Consult with us if treatment can proceed if any light sensitive medication has been ingested.

​

Preparing for appointment day 

• Wear loose-fitting clothing to allow the skin to breathe after the treatment

• Shave area/s of treatment 12 to 24 hours prior to appointment (Hair conditioner applied on body areas helps with a smooth shave)

• If treating Arms and Legs avoid using any moisturizers and deodorant on Underarms

• FEMALES treating Brazilian, please wash area

• if treating face, please do not use makeup before appointment

 

During your appointment:

• As the laser glides along your skin, you can expect to feel a warming sensation. It should not be painful but may be slightly uncomfortable for some depending on skin sensitivity levels.

 

After your appointment:

• Avoid sweating as much as possible for 24 hours (i.e. refrain from exercise, try not to wear tight clothing).

• Do NOT expose the treated area to sunlight. Doing so will increase your risk of burns and skin irritation.

• Do NOT pluck, wax, or use depilatory creams on the treated area over the course of your IPL laser hair removal sessions.

• Shave the treated area at least a week after treatment (If needed sooner, that is okay). This will help encourage the hairs to fall out of the destroyed follicles. Hair should fall out between 3 and 21 days after treatment. 

• Apply sun block for exposed areas like face, neck arms and legs before, after and during the course of treatment
