If you’re tired of shaving or waxing and want a more permanent solution to hair removal, IPL laser hair removal is a great option. But if you’ve never had an IPL hair removal session before, you may be wondering what to expect. Here’s what you can expect during an IPL hair removal session at Vaughan Beauty Services:
Preparation
Before your IPL hair removal session, we recommend that you avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks. You should also avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading the area you want to treat for at least four weeks before your session. Shaving is allowed, as it only removes hair from the surface of the skin and doesn’t affect the hair follicle.
During the Session
During your IPL hair removal session, you’ll lie down on a comfortable treatment bed, and we’ll apply a cooling gel to the area being treated. We’ll then use the IPL laser to target the hair follicles, which will absorb the light energy and damage the hair follicle, preventing further hair growth. You may feel a slight stinging or snapping sensation during the treatment, but most people find it tolerable.
The duration of the session depends on the area being treated, but it typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. After the session, we’ll remove the cooling gel and apply a soothing lotion to the area.
Aftercare
After your IPL hair removal session, you may experience some redness or swelling in the treated area. This is normal and should subside within a few hours to a day. We recommend that you avoid sun exposure and heat, including hot showers, saunas, and exercise, for at least 24 hours after your session. You should also avoid any skin irritants, such as perfumes or harsh skincare products.
Results
You’ll typically need several IPL hair removal sessions to achieve the desired results, as hair grows in cycles, and IPL only targets hair in the active growth phase. Most people need between six to eight sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve permanent hair reduction.
