IPL Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Removal:
Before having any IPL treatment a complimentary patch test is compulsory and must be done at least 24 hours prior to your hair removal or skin rejuvenation session. IPL is a permanent hair reduction treatment. IPL hair removal works best on the hairs that are in their active growth phase. We recommend at least 12 treatment sessions at 4-6 weekly intervals to achieve the best results. There is a small amount of discomfort during the IPL session. It feels like a flick of a rubber band, this treatment is not recommended while pregnant or planning for pregnancy.
SHR:
Super Hair Removal is a more modern, newer and safer treatment. SHR is a clinically proven method of hair removal that is virtually painless and has been proven in medical studies to be the safest form of IPL hair removal. We provide SHR for the legs, arms, back and chest.
IPL Photo Rejuvenation
A non-invasive treatment to help create a healthy glowing skin, it is an ideal treatment for reducing pigmentation, redness and for stimulating collagen. IPL is affective in breaking down melanin in the skin, reversing pigmentation and smoothing out skin tone. We can treat for discolouration, redness and broken capillaries.

- I am not sunburnt
- I haven’t been on any antibiotics for the last two weeks

Post Treatment Advice
- No Plucking or Waxing (shaving only)
- Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure to the area for at least 24 hrs and up to 3 days after – especially on sensitive skin types. It is not uncommon for people to be light sensitive immediately after treatment for up to 72 hours after.
- Continue to moisturise as normal morning and night where possible. If any skin reaction or irritation does occur, a cold shower will usually help this.
