Good-Bye Razor
If you’re tired of spending hours on traditional hair removal methods or feeling self-conscious about ingrown hairs and irritation, our laser technicians are here to help you with a personalized treatment plan.
Hair reduction is achieved when the pigmented hair root is damaged by absorbing the light energy, thereby impeding future growth. Due to the nature of the hair growth cycle, only about 20% of the follicles will sustain damage per treatment. This is why between 6 and 10 treatments are often needed, ideally spaced 4 weeks apart.
What You Need To Know
An IPL Consultation is required at least 24 hours before we treat you for the first time…even if you have had IPL elsewhere. Please come to the IPL Consultation with at least 5 days of hair growth in the desired treatment area.
You must shave 24 hours before your first treatment. That’s right, we want hair for the consultation, but not for the treatment.
Treatments are best spaced about 4 weeks apart.
Our goal is 80% reduction in regrowth.
It often takes 6-10 treatments to achieve optimal results.
Follow-up sessions are needed about every 6-9 months to maintain results.
We cannot treat an area that has had recent sun exposure. Even tanning creams will alter the effect of the light on your skin.
IPL is most effective on light skin and dark hair.
Every body, skin and hair type are different. Individual results can vary.
