Intense Pulsed Light Cosmetic Dermatology Treatments

What is IPL?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. IPL is a safe and effective way of removing unwanted hair. Hair growth is reduced and removed by a series of up to 6 treatments using controlled light pulses (IPL) on to the area which is known as photo depilation. The light is absorbed by the hair pigment and travels to heat the follicle and destroy it without damage to the surrounding tissue.

Why have IPL Hair Removal?

The IPL hair removal treatments removes the need for regular waxing and shaving that only remove the hair for the time of the follicular growth cycle and traumatise the skin.

Ingrown hair follicles are a thing of the past and you do not have to put up with stubbly areas again. We treat all hair hair colors and skin types. IPL is the treatment of choice for women and men who want to remove hair and feel released from the constant ties of waxing and shaving.

Compare the cost of waxing, shaving over a period of time against the convenience and no more fuss and it’s paid for itself!

The number of treatments depends on your skin and hair type. The high energy levels of our laser reduces the number of treatments required to achieve hair loss so it is overall cost effective when compared to extended treatments that are required by lower energy lasers.

Does it hurt?

As the controlled intense pulsed light passes in to the skin the most regular description is on of feeling a very slight pinching sensation.
