How does it work for hair removal?

IPL targets the root of the hair. The energy it emits heats the hair follicle until it is disabled at which point the follicle can no longer produce a new hair. There are three stages of hair growth and it is the ‘anagen’ phase that is targeted in IPL treatment. Approximately 30% of hairs are in this stage at any one time so a course of treatments is required and you will see progressive results with each treatment. Choosing the correct settings for a client will also impact how effective the treatment is. SkinBase IPL will use the clients skin colour type, hair colour and hair type (thick or thin) to select the most appropriate settings required and these can also be fine tuned for subsequent treatments. Cients starting a course of treatment now will have completed their course by the summer time so for those planning a summer holiday now is the ideal time to start. Keep an eye out for our IPL marketing promotion for this coming soon.

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 My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world.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!”
