The Treatment

What is IPL hair removal?

This treatment directs intense pulses of light at areas of unwanted hair over a series of short bursts. Various parts of the face and body can be targeted over a series of sessions.

What happens at the sessions?

Firstly, a patch test will be carried out before first sessions commence. Once eligibility is confirmed, a consultation will take place to address any concerns before the first of six appointments begin on the chosen body areas.

What areas can be targeted?

Small areas: upper lip | chin | ears | in-between eyebrows | cheeks | Nipple | fingers | toes (usually up to £40 per session)

Medium areas: underarms | back of neck | standard bikini line | hands and fingers | sideburns (up to £45)

Large areas: half legs | half arms | back | shoulders | chest | abdomen | extended bikini line (up to £95)
