Intense Pulsed Light - What to Expect From Your Treatments

We have 3 stages of hair growth and 3 hairs in each follicle, the only hair we can treat is the 1st phase of growth called ANAGEN. This stage of hair growth has an abundance of melanin (colour), and blood supply at the base, it is still attached to the bulb, therefore easy to treat. Only 10 to 60% of hairs are in this stage at 1 time, so each time you receive a treatment only 10 to 60 % will be destroyed , depending on which hair is in the correct phase. If the hair does not fall out... don't panic, it just means that the other hairs were not in the right stage of growth... they will fall out eventually.

Depending on the area we treat, the hormonal influences on the body and gender, every hair will take 8 to 14 months to get into the anagen phase. That is why you will need a minimum of 6 to 8 sessions that need to be placed between 4 to 6 weeks apart to get the best and quickest result.

After 6 to 8 sessions you will have 80 to 95% reduction. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE NO HAIRS, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE BLOND WHITE, GREY AND FLUFFIES LEFT. IPL attracts to colour, so if the hair has no colour, it cannot be treated so will not fall out.

When we are treating the full bikini area, the mucus membrane is protected by a shield of fluid, the IPL is attracted to the fluid over the hair, therefore in the mucus membrane area, hair will get softer but WILL NEVER be gone, these areas will be shown to you by your therapist.

As we age and hormones change, if you have endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hirsutism or any other hormonal imbalances. You will need a maintenance programme every 6 months to 1 year, again, depending on the individual depends on the exact results.

We have an abundance of dormant cells in our body, as we change in life dormant cells can activate and produce new hair growth, so after 3 months to a year, you may notice shoots of hair appearing. THIS IS NOT the hairs we have treated, but dormant cells that may have activated from a hormonal change. You will still have a significant reduction, but to maintain the great results, we highly recommend a maintenance programme consisting of 1 treatment every 3, 6 or 12 months... depending on the individual circumstances and hormonal imbalances, which cannot be controlled.

Once you have completed your course of treatments you will be amazed with the final result. The most important thing to remember is to not set unrealistic expectations, and try and complete your full course of sessions to get the best results. The hairs will be softer, thinner or possibly gone altogether, you will never have unsightly ingrowns or razor rash again, the thick dense hairs will be removed, the collagen and elastin in your skin would of activated new cells, therefore your skin will have an added bonus of being silky soft, evenly coloured and firmer to the touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does IPL permanent hair reduction work?

The Intense Pulsed Light permanent hair reduction system targets the hair follicle without disrupting the skin's surface to remove hair on any part of the body for smooth softer looking skin. The energy directed from the IPL handpiece is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, which enables the hair to grow. Our top of the line approach to permanent hair reduction is safe for all skin types and targets all hair colours that contain melanin. The result is permanent hair reduction providing the most desired effect.

Is IPL Hair Reduction permanent?

Yes, hair follicles that have absorbed the energy of the light and have been destroyed (usually 80%) will never grow hair again. Some hair growth may appear after 5-7 treatments but it will be thinner, lighter in color and grow at a much slower rate than before. Even though the areas treated will not come back, due to hormonal changes such as stress, endometriosis, polysistic ovarium syndrome, hirsuitism, etc, we can not control dormant hairs that activate from a hormonal change, therefore maintainance sessions will be required every 3, 6 to 12 months depending on the individual.

Is IPL Permanent Hair Reduction safe?

Yes, however read the bold statement below, our ipl is one of the most sought after IPL machines on the market today providing maximum hair removal results, and as mentioned above, our staff attend IPL training to stay up to date. We only use TGA approved equipment, which means it meets the strict standards of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration. Consultations with the fully trained technicians are available to determine if you are the right candidate for IPL Permanent hair reduction.

In your consultation you will be asked many questions and it is imperitive you answer them honestly and fully, without holding anything back on naturopathy, medications, skincare products etc - because HOW you answer and WHAT you answer depends on how we set our machine for your treatment - if you leave a vital piece of information out then we dont have all the information to make a full and correct 'individually based prescription setting' of the machine. This is such a major factor in the success or failure of your treatment, which all the horror stories on TV of burns etc, never talk about.

If we don't think we can get you your desired result, we will be honest with you and not start a course of treatments with you.

What does IPL Permanent Hair Reduction feel like?

Some say it feel likes small elastic bands against the skin or mini pinches, while others don't feel a thing. An anaesthetic cream to numb the area air to make your treatment as comfortable as possible, is available however we feel it necessary that you know the depth of heat/energy that is being penetrated with each flash. Therefore we actually request that you DO NOT use this numbing cream. We need your feedback and if you are numbed we cannot get it.

How often do I come in for treatment?

Since your hair grows in intervals of 3 cycles, we recommend waiting 4 weeks in between treatments until your desired result is achieved. Our goal is to target hair growth in the Anagen phase where hair growth is active and contains the most melanin.

How long does the treatment take?

The iPulse IPL system is able to treat areas of the body at a much faster rate than most ipl's- cutting treatment time in half. Hair reduction of the lip can take as little as 30 seconds whereas a treatment on your full legs can take anywhere up to an hour. It depends on the area of the body being treated and density of the hair.

What areas can be treated with IPL?

All areas of the body may be treated though we try to stay away from the eyes, female membranes and male genital area.

How Many IPL treatments will I need for permanent hair reduction?

Usually between 6 to 8 treatments is needed for permanent hair reduction. If you are not looking for full removal and would like to thin an area, fewer treatments are necessary. Hair will grow less and less with each treatment until your desired result is achieved. Men sometimes require additional sessions due to having thicker skin and thicker hair, therefore the IPL takes longer to pass into the desired hair. If you are of certain genetics where there is a common excessive hair growth factor then you will no doubt need a few extra sessions.

I was out in the sun, is it okay to get treated?

NO! It changes your skin too much for a safer treatment. We recommend staying out of the sun for 3 to 4 weeks before treatments for safer and optimal results. This includes fake tans. You must cover up in full with sun exposure when undergoing IPL.

What skincare should I be using for IPL?

It is strongly recommended that when doing Facial Rejuvenation - a vitamin C Serum or crystals, for the skin is necessary to be applied prior to effective and reputable SPF 30+.

We have chosen our brand of skincare very carefully to ensure you get maximum effect for minimum outlay. Please use our skincare as we understand this brand and use it proudly!

This sunscreen should also be used on all exposed areas being treated for permanent hair reduction.
