What is IPL hair removal?
IPL is an advanced approach to effectively removing unwanted hair, it saves you time and allows you to have silky smooth skin all year round.
How does it work?
IPL uses intense pulsed light technology to achieve permanent hair reduction. Light energy is used to instantly target, heat and destroy the hair follicles. IPL systems release controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by melanin, (the pigment in hair). This heats up the hair and destroys the cells responsible for hair growth, to achieve long term hair reduction.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed varies from person to person and will depend on the area being treated.IPL is most effective during the active stage of hair growth - each person’s hair growth pattern is at different stages.
Therefore multiple treatments will be needed. Approximately 6-10 treatments are recommended with 4 weeks between each treatment. On average, hair growth is reduced by 80%.,. Once the hair has been removed occasional maintenance treatments might be needed once or twice a year.
What does the treatment feel like?
Each pulse of light feels like a momentary sting that soon passes and is replaced with a warm sensation. For your comfort our IPL machines have a unique, built-in cooling system. This helps provide a more pleasant and safer experience for you.
What type of hair can IPL treat?
Our IPL treatments target the melanin in the hair follicle so any hair containing this pigment can be treated. Our clinicians will assess your hair type and guide you on whether your hair is suitable for IPL treatments.
For the few clients who are not suitable candidates for IPL treatments, Skintrition would advise they use electrolysis or waxing to remove unwanted hair. Both are offered at all our salons
What areas can be treated?
Almost any area can be treated: legs, arms, back, chest, bikini line, underarm, the list goes on. We can’t treat any area where we would be coming into contact with mucus membrane like the inside of the nose.
How much does it cost?
Prices vary for each client, depending on the area to be treated. You can book in for a consultation with one of our accredited clinicians to find out more about Skin Rejuvenation and Hair Removal and what the best treatment plan for you will be. Consultation investment is $55, which is redeemable off your treatment course.
Areas start from $50. At Skintrition, we charge per treatment area for hair removal & skin rejuvenation and not per minute, this is so we can focus on safety and precision as opposed to speed.
How long does a treatment take?
Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes for a single blemish or a few hairs and up to an hour depending upon the area to be treated. Most treatments take approximately 40mins, depending on the surface area and hair density of the area being treated.
