What is IPL Hair Removal?

Intense Pulsed Light Hair Removal, more commonly referred to as ‘IPL’, is a non-invasive advanced treatment that aims to reduce hair growth through the use of high intensity light pulses. Essentially, the light damages the hair follicles designed to reduce hair regrowth over time. Additionally, IPL can also be used to minimise the effects of a range of skin conditions such as rosacea, hyperpigmentation, sun damage & wrinkles.

When purchasing a course of IPL hair removal appointments, expect to walk away with smoother skin & longer lasting hair reduction.

What is the difference between IPL and Laser Hair Removal?

IPL and Laser Hair Removal are both hair reduction solutions utilising light energy to target hair follicles. Both very popular, but commonly mistaken for the same treatment, however there are some slight differences including:

• ·       Type of Light: The key difference between the two methods lies in the technology used. IPL uses a spectrum of wavelengths targeting a broader surface area  whereas Laser uses a more precise singular beam targeting a more specific surface area.
• ·       Sessions Required: IPL can take a few more sessions compared to Laser Hair Removal which is often reflected in the price of the treatments.
• ·       Pain: Laser Hair Removal is commonly considered more painful due to its highly concentrated, targeted beam.

How long does IPL Hair Removal Work?

The number of IPL sessions required depends on your specific treatment goals. At Beauty Secrets, we’ve got seasoned therapists who specialise in IPL Hair Removal and will guide you through every step of your journey, providing personalised recommendations based on your skin concerns or hair removal needs.

As a generic recommendation, we would suggest 4 – 6 sessions for skin concerns & 6 – 8 sessions for hair removal results.
