IPL Hair Reduction

If you are looking for IPL hair removal, Simply Elegant has a number of IPL Hair Reduction treatments available for you.

Intense Pulse Light Treatments (IPL Treatment) is becoming more popular as new and improved techniques are being developed to maximise each patient’s experience.  IPL is commonly used over laser hair removal and has fantastic benefits.

IPL Treatment uses a much broader spectrum of light than laser hair removal and is suitable for a wider range of hair colours and skin types. The broad spectrum of IPL light also results in the light penetrating skin across a wider range of depths resulting in a greater number of hair follicles being treated.

IPL treats a much larger area of skin per light pulse than lasers which makes the treatment much faster and more cost effective.

Just like your typical laser hair removal treatment, you can expect the session to last around 15-30minutes, depending on the size of the area you need treated.  Multiple IPL treatment sessions are required as only hair follicles in the growth phase respond to treatment.

Commonly, six IPL treatment sessions are required to provide long-lasting reduction in hair growth. Stubborn areas, such as beard hair in men, may require more treatment sessions. The interval between treatment sessions is usually 4 to 8 weeks, but will vary depending on the area of the body.

Sun exposure or sun beds should be avoided for at least four weeks before and after treatment. A sun cream of at least SPF30 should be applied to exposed treated areas every day for at least four weeks after the treatment, regardless of the weather.
