Are you tired of shaving and waxing and want to be hair free for next Summer?
If you have answered yes then IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is the answer for you.
IPL provides a permanent hair reduction solution to both men and women - No more last minute shaving or waxing, we have it covered for long lasting results!
IPL technology has made extensive and impressive leaps in the past few decades making shaving, waxing, tweezing, threading, and other hair removal methods of the past obsolete. The innovative Ecolite Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses clinically tested safe bursts of light to permanently remove unwanted hair from the face and body with a simple flash of light.
Does IPL hair removal hurt?
As no anaesthetic is required and individuals vary in their thresholds of pain, it is difficult to predict how much, if any, pain a particular individual client will feel when he or she receives the treatment. To date, patients describe a wide variety of sensations from a rubber band pinging their skin to a light shot of heat.
How many treatments will I need?
In terms of the number of treatments, there is no one standard for every client. The factors that affect an individual’s growth cycle are body site, hair density, thickness, ethnic origin, hormonal status and age. Most clinical studies report that at least 6-12 treatments are needed, with 1 months intervals.
Preparation before treatments
To prepare for treatment, it is vital not to remove any hair by other hair removal methods such as plucking, tweezing, waxing or use of hair removal creams in the month leading up to the treatment. This is extremely important to make the treatment effective as the presence of hair leads to the destruction of the hair follicle. Clients are asked to shave in between treatments to ensure hairs are not removed from the roots.
It is also crucial to avoid tanning before and during hair removal treatments as tanning causes the accumulation of pigment in the skin. Tanned skin will absorb more light and it makes the hair removal process less effective.
Post treatment
After treatment, most clients require no post-treatment care. Clients with very sensitive skin, however, can benefit from applying an aloe-vera based product on the treated skin for a few days after their session. Just as clients are encouraged to avoid sun exposure prior to treatments, they are also recommended to avoid it after.
