IPL (Intense Pulsed Light technology) hair removal uses a device to direct strong pulses of light at pigment in unwanted hair; this sends a rush of heat down the hair’s shaft, damaging or destroying the cells that cause it to grow. You’re likely to need more than one treatment, but the results are effective and permanent.

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.

No. For IPL to work, the device needs to be able to distinguish between the colour of your skin tone and the colour of your hair; it’s therefore not recommended for use on black skin, nor for those with red or light blonde hair. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have a known medical condition, check with your doctor if it’s safe for you to try IPL hair removal.

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.
