Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal offers a non-invasive solution for reducing unwanted hair with remarkable precision and efficiency. By using broad-spectrum light, IPL targets the pigment in hair follicles, effectively destroying them and significantly slowing or, in some cases, halting hair growth across all areas of the body.
This advanced technology is renowned for its long-lasting results and is suitable for a range of skin types and hair colours. For optimal results, a course of 6 – 12 sessions is recommended, with treatments spaced 6 – 8 weeks apart. We suggest scheduling your sessions during the winter months. IPL hair removal is available for both men and women.
Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results by effectively reducing hair growth, providing smooth skin with fewer treatments compared to traditional methods.
Its precision is notable, as it targets specific hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin, making it an accurate and effective solution. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a slight tingling sensation.
Additionally, IPL is versatile and suitable for various areas of the body, including the legs, arms, back, and even sensitive areas such as the face and bikini line.
Before your treatment begins, you will undergo a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin type, hair colour, and overall suitability for IPL treatment. Both a consultation and a patch test are mandatory before starting the procedure. It is also important to avoid sun exposure for at least 4 weeks prior to the treatment to ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of complications.
During the session, a handheld device emits controlled pulses of light that target the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles. This light is absorbed by the pigment and converted into heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. We use the Lynton Laser IPL hair reduction therapy, renowned for its safety and effectiveness in minimising excessive hair growth. This treatment helps you feel confident with smooth legs, arms, or bikini line. Typically, results become visible after the third session, although individual outcomes may vary.
After the procedure, you may experience some warmth to the skin, along with slight redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours. We will provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. You will be advised to avoid exercise for 48 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.
Discomfort is kept to a minimum through the application of a soothing laser gel and the use of a cooling machine, if necessary. You may find that the initial sessions are slightly more uncomfortable due to the larger number of hair follicles being targeted. This is a normal part of the process, as the treatment works more intensively in the early stages. As the hair density decreases over subsequent sessions, the level of discomfort tends to diminish significantly. Rest assured that we take every measure to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment, and any mild discomfort experienced should lessen as you progress through the sessions.
The number of hair reduction sessions required to achieve the best possible results can differ significantly from one individual to another. On average, patients generally need between 8 – 10 sessions to attain optimal hair reduction. This variability depends on several factors, including hair type, skin type, and the area being treated. It is also vital to remember that achieving maximum results is a gradual process, as each session builds upon the previous one to progressively reduce hair growth.
Yes, it is essential that the area to be treated is completely shaved several hours before your scheduled IPL hair removal session. This preparation ensures that the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can effectively target the hair follicles without interference from longer hair, which could otherwise cause discomfort or diminish the effectiveness of the treatment. Additionally, if you are planning to begin your IPL laser hair removal journey, it is important to stop waxing the areas you intend to treat at least 6 months before your first session.
While highly effective, laser hair removal can occasionally be somewhat uncomfortable for some individuals. This discomfort arises from the heat generated by the Intense Pulsed Light as it penetrates the skin and targets the pigment within the hair follicles. Despite this temporary discomfort, many find that it is manageable and the benefits of the treatment, such as long-lasting hair reduction, far outweigh the momentary sensation experienced during the procedure
During the treatment, a handheld device emits precisely controlled pulses of light, which are specifically targeted at the pigment found within the hair follicles. As the light is absorbed by this pigment, it is transformed into heat energy. This heat is then efficiently transferred to the hair follicles, causing them to be damaged and effectively destroying them. As a result of this process, the hair follicles are rendered incapable of producing new hair, thereby preventing future hair growth in the treated area.
Laser hair removal is traditionally most effective for individuals with light skin and dark hair, as the technology targets the contrast between the pigmentation in the hair and the surrounding skin. However, recent advancements in IPL technology have significantly broadened its suitability, making it effective for a wider range of skin types and hair colours. These improvements allow for more customised treatments and better results for various individuals.
