What is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy is a cosmetic skin treatment that is also effective at removing unwanted hair. Specific wavelengths of light provide a range of aesthetic and therapeutic treatments. A handheld device targets multiple wavelengths of light onto your skin. For hair removal, IPL uses the light to heat your hair follicles and prevent the hair from regrowing. The root absorbs gentle pulses of light which destroy the follicle. With only 6 sessions of IPL, 70% of hair growth can be prevented permanently.

What can IPL treat?

IPL is multi-purpose and the light rays can also treat a range of skin concerns including:

  • Scarring
  • Ageing
  • Pigmentation
  • Spider veins

This therapy targets structures within the skin (melanin, blood, collagen). IPL breaks them down and improves the skin’s appearance. IPL also stimulates the production of collagen at a deeper level. This plumps the skin and improves fine lines and pigmentation. IPL effectively treats acne.

Two reasons it’s a good time for hair removal

  1. Avoid sun exposure. It takes time to get rid of unwanted hair and needs to be performed when the skin is pale. If you decide you want IPL to rid you of unwanted hair just as summer is arriving, you will be too late. You won’t be able to avoid sun exposure which is recommended for light treatments. Direct sunlight can result in hyper/hypopigmentation or other skin damage.
  2. Fit all treatments in by next summer. IPL treatments have to be spaced apart. You can have one treatment every four to six weeks. A full treatment course may include 6-10 treatments. By planning ahead and starting early you will be hair-free by summer.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
