IPL Hair Removal

IPL Hair Removal is a highly effective, advanced light-based treatment designed to permanently reduce unwanted hair while protecting the integrity of your skin. Using targeted pulses of light energy, this treatment disrupts the hair growth cycle at the root, resulting in smoother skin and long-lasting results. At our luxury wellbeing destination, every IPL journey is thoughtfully planned, discreetly delivered, and fully tailored ensuring exceptional results within a calm, concierge-led experience.

1-7 stages of the treatment and what people can expect at each stage

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation and patch test to assess skin tone, hair colour, and suitability. This ensures your treatment plan is safe, effective, and tailored specifically to you. A patch test is required 24-48 hours prior to your treatment – please contact us to arrange for this to take place.

Your therapist designs a bespoke treatment schedule based on your hair growth cycle, treatment area, and desired results, ensuring optimal outcomes over time.

The treatment area is gently cleansed and shaved (if required) to allow light energy to penetrate effectively to the hair follicle.

Precise pulses of controlled light are delivered to the skin, targeting the hair follicle beneath the surface.

You may feel a brief warming or snapping sensation, which is well tolerated and short-lived.

Advanced cooling technology is used throughout to protect the skin and enhance comfort, making the treatment both safe and refined.

Soothing products are applied to calm the skin and reduce any temporary warmth or redness.

Your therapist provides personalised aftercare advice and confirms the timing of your next session to support long-term hair reduction success.

Frequently Asked Questions

IPL provides long-term hair reduction. A full course is required to target hair in different growth phases.

Most clients describe a mild snapping or warming sensation, which is brief and manageable.

IPL works best on darker hair and lighter skin tones. Suitability is assessed during consultation.
