What is IPL (intense pulsed light) and how does it work?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a non-invasive light therapy treatment that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including unwanted hair, wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, and acne. IPL works by emitting pulses of light energy that are absorbed by melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. When melanin absorbs the light energy, it heats up and destroys the surrounding tissue. This includes the hair follicle, preventing hair from regrowing.
What to expect during an IPL facial hair removal treatment
During an IPL facial hair removal treatment, you will wear eye protection to protect your eyes from the light energy. We then apply a cooling gel to your skin to help reduce discomfort and then use the IPL device to deliver pulses of light energy to the treatment area.
How many IPL facial hair removal treatments do I need?
Most people need a series of 6-8 IPL facial hair removal treatments to achieve permanent hair reduction. The treatments are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. After the initial series of treatments, you may need occasional touch-up treatments to maintain the results.
Is IPL facial hair removal safe?
IPL facial hair removal is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, some people may experience mild side effects, such as redness, swelling, and bruising. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days.

Client Testimonial
“I have been a customer for many years, regardless of the treatment I always come away satisfied and happy. The last three years I have been undergoing IPL treatment on my face. Suffering with PCOS and Metabolic Syndrome left me epilating my face daily causing my skin to be raised, blotchy and the hair was getting thicker and darker.
“After a lot of courage I signed up for my taster session and I’ve never looked back. My face feels smooth to the touch. The hairs have dramatically reduced and are thin, light and barely noticeable. My life has changed for the better and I genuinely could not be happier.”

What to expect after your illumiFacial treatments
After your illumiFacial treatment, you may experience a tingling sensation on your skin and your pigment spots may darken before they flake away. This is a good sign! It means that the treatment is working to remove the dead skin cells and reveal the brighter, more even skin underneath.
In the months following your treatment, you will also notice an improvement in the firmness and plumpness of your skin. This is because the illumiFacial stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Overall, the illumiFacial is a safe and effective treatment that can help to improve the overall appearance of your skin. If you are looking for a way to achieve a more even, flawless skin tone, the illumiFacial is a great option to consider.
