If you’re considering IPL (intense pulsed light), it pays to study up. But we know you’re super busy and may not have the time, so here is everything you need to know about IPL

Many don’t opt for IPL purely to reduce hair in a certain area. If you’re susceptible to ingrown hairs that aggravate your skin then it can help to eliminate this issue too. The options for hair removal and reduction are endless. From waxing to threading and shaving to tweezing (and all the weird stuff in between). However, IPL is one of the few options that offers a more permanent approach to getting rid of body hair long term.

However, just like with any procedure you’re doing to your body, it’s a good idea to thoroughly research the ins and outs and know the process before you start a course of IPL. Because, while the end result will be fabulous, there are a few things to bear in mind and ways you can prep for the best IPL experience, wherever on your body you’re getting it done.

1. IPL Isn’t Painful

IPL sends pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicle so it can’t produce a hair. The IPL system used by SkinBase therapists has a cooling cryo-handset which makes the whole process infinitely more comfortable.

2. Patience is a Virtue

IPL isn’t instant and you will require several treatments over the year to get the full result. You also must be really regular with your appointments. Hair follicles are all at different stages of their growth at any one time.  Regular treatments ensure each one has a chance to get zapped.

3. It’s a Pretty Quick Process

Our cooling handset means we don’t need to mess about with gels during treatment so it’s a pretty quick process. Combined with our large head size, treatments are fast and virtually pain-free. You will have a consultation with your SkinBase therapist before your IPL treatment so you have everything you need to know About IPL.

If you’re ready for a hair-free bod, now is the perfect time to start find your nearest IPL therapist now!

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.”
