Hair Removal

Unwelcome hair growth can be embarrassing for everyone. And although there are plenty of hair removal options, they aren't always worth it. Shaving and depilatory creams might be a quick fix, but they only get rid of the hair at the surface—not to mention the risk of nicks and adverse skin reactions. Waxing and plucking may deliver longer-lasting results, but treatments are painful and time-consuming. Where does that leave you?

Our Hair removal treatment uses advanced technology to permanently reduce unwanted hair on the face and body. You can finally enjoy smooth, hair-free skin with results that last longer than traditional methods.

FAQs

BEFORE THE TREATMENT

DURING THE TREATMENT

AFTER THE TREATMENT

  • Hair removal treatments are for individuals who want to permanently reduce unwanted hair on their face or body because they’re tired of the conventional methods that only yield temporary results.

    You may not be able to get IPL laser hair removal if you have/are:

    • Metal or other implants in the treatment area

    • Current or history of cancer

    • Pregnant or nursing

    • Any diseases that can be stimulated by light (e.g. epilepsy)

    • History of disease that can be stimulated by heat (e.g. herpes)

    • Poorly controlled endocrine disorders (e.g. diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome)

    • Any active condition in the treatment area (e.g. eczema, psoriasis, rash)

    • History of skin disorders, keloids, unusual wound healing, or excessively dry and/or sensitive skin

    • Any surgical procedures within the past 3 months

    • A tattoo or permanent makeup in the treatment area

    • Excessively tanned skin

  • IPL hair removal treatments work best for light to medium skin tones. Although they may work on darker skin tones, there is an even higher risk of discoloration. It’s best to consult with the technician to see if the treatment is right for you.

  • Hair removal treatments are fast, even on larger areas like the back or two full legs. It’s also ideal for treating multiple areas, like the bikini area and underarms.

    For IPL, it depends on what part of the body you’re getting treated. If it’s a smaller area, it may only take as little as 15-30 minutes. A larger area, like two full legs, may take up to 60 minutes.

  • For IPL hair removal, you’ll likely need 6-10 treatments per area, again depending on each individual person and the area being treated.

  • For IPL hair removal, treatments are done 4-6 weeks apart for the face and 4-8 weeks apart for the body. Because hair grows in three stages, you want to try your best to avoid missing a session.

  • Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or makeup (if you’re getting a treatment on your face) before your session, and stop using any products that might irritate your skin 2-3 days before. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated. The technician will shave and clean the area before starting your treatment. They will also ask about your medical history, so it helps to have that information ready. For IPL hair removal, you should also avoid tanning before your treatment.

  • It depends on where you’re getting the treatment—an upper lip will be much faster than both legs.

  • You’ll feel some heat in the area, but this will only last a short while, thanks to the real-time cooling system that kicks in right away to help minimize discomfort.

    For IPL hair removal, it feels like the light snap with an elastic band against your skin as the applicator moves around the treatment area.

  • The applicator has a built-in cooling feature to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, but you might feel a bit of discomfort if you’re treating a more sensitive area, like along the bikini line. If you find it too uncomfortable, let your treatment provider know and they can adjust the settings accordingly.

  • If you’re doing IPL, your skin may look dry and feel a little itchy because the operator has to dry-shave the area before starting the treatment. Moisturizing can help relieve the itch. Other than that, you shouldn’t really feel any different after your treatment.

  • It depends on how your hair grows. Some people may see longer-lasting hair removal, while others who see sporadic hair growth in the area may need a touch-up treatment to maintain the results.

  • There is no downtime. You can return to your daily schedule immediately after your treatment, regardless of whether you’re doing the IPL treatment.

  • Be sure to gently clean the treated area twice a day and apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 before going outside; however, avoid excessive sun exposure. You should also avoid hot baths, massages, or any treatment that requires direct contact with the skin for the first 2 days after your treatment. For IPL, avoid tanning for at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks afterward.

  • Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after your treatment, but make sure you put on sunscreen first.
