Questions and Answers
​
IPL stands for intense pulsed light, and it is a form of light therapy, used for various treatments as well as hair removal. Unlike laser treatments, which have just one wavelength, IPL has multiple wavelengths that scatter within the skin. Making it the number one choice for most practitioners.
​
Light is absorbed by melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. This light energy heats the pigment within the hair and effectively destroys the hair follicle, preventing it from growing back, without damaging the surrounding cells. (Photo-Thermal effect)
​​
What hair can be treated?
Hair that is black, brown and dark blonde, can be treated. White and grey hairs, do not respond. The darker the hair colour, the more light is absorbed, so is more easily treated. With IPL hair reduction, the precise wavelength of the light can be tailored to your hair colour to achieve the best results.
​
Is it painful?
Treatment sensation varies from client to client but is often described as “a flick of an elastic band”. Most clients describe the discomfort as moderate and tolerable.
​
Pre treatment advice
As IPL hair reduction works by heating up the pigment within a hair, epilation, plucking, shaving and waxing should be avoided up to 4 weeks prior to your treatment. For the initial consultation and patch test your hair growth should be visible to determine which parameters to use, but when it comes to your actual treatment please shave beforehand.
You should avoid tanning or exposure to UV light 1 month before your treatment, and up to 1 week after your treatment.
​
Are there any side-effects?
IPL hair reduction is a safe and controlled treatment to be performed however initially the skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and bumpy but this usually subsides within a few hours. Adverse reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin, this however will all be discussed with you at your consultation.
How long is the treatment?
The treatment time varies depending upon the part of the body being treated. Typically, the face takes around 15 to 20 minutes, and full legs take approximately 2 hours.
​
Do I need several treatments?
Only hair that is in its anagen (active growth stage) is affected, therefore multiple treatments are normally required. Treatment is conducted every 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the area treated, until a satisfactory result is seen.
The required number of treatments varies due to several factors such as an individual’s growth cycle, area of the body, hair density, thickness, ethnic origin, hormonal status and age. Typically 6 or more treatments are needed for the very best results.
​
Is it permanent?
IPL hair reduction is permanent. The hairs which are destroyed during your treatment will never return.
Your skin does contain dormant hair follicles, so it is possible for new hairs to appear during the growth cycle (although these will be much finer than your original hairs). There are several other factors such as hormonal imbalances which can also affect the overall results, in these cases, several treatments may be necessary.
​
Post treatment
Most clients need no post-treatment care. If you have very sensitive skin, you may benefit from applying an aloe vera based product to the treated area of your skin for a few days after your treatment.
