Best IPL Hair Removal near me in Wellington Point, Brisbane

Most people require 6–12 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve significant, long-lasting hair reduction. Follow-up maintenance sessions may be needed 1–2 times per year. The number of sessions varies by hair colour, skin tone, and treatment area.

It’s likely to take 6-10 treatments to see the best results; and you’ll need to leave 4 weeks between each session.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal uses broad-spectrum light pulses to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles, damaging them to reduce future hair growth. It is a non-invasive, long-lasting hair reduction treatment available at clinics and beauty salons.

IPL uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths and is generally less targeted than laser. Laser hair removal uses a single, concentrated wavelength for more precise targeting of follicles, and can be more effective for certain skin and hair types. Both are popular long-term hair reduction options.

It depends on your individual pain threshold; any discomfort you feel is likely to be short-lived because IPL devices tend to work quickly, giving you little time to register pain. Results are permanent, but you’ll need more than one session to stop all hair regrowth in the treated area.

You should stay out of the sun for 4-6 weeks before your session, and avoid plucking, waxing and bleaching the hair you want treated for at least 4 weeks before your treatment. You’ll also need to remove all fake tan to avoid pigment burning, and exfoliate and moisturise daily (except for the day of treatment). It’s advised not to use any topical creams or deodorants on the day of your session.
