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.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
