One of our clients, a young professional in his late 20s, struggled with persistent, coarse hair growth on his back. Despite regularly waxing, he wasn’t achieving the long-term hair reduction he desired. Seeking a more permanent solution, he turned to us at The Beauty Spot, in Basingstoke, to discuss IPL back hair removal. His goal was to boost his confidence and feel more comfortable in his skin.

“I wanted something that would give me lasting results and save me from the hassle of constant waxing.”

IPL back hair consultation and treatment plan

The client’s journey began with a thorough consultation, where he met with one of our qualified and highly experiences Beauty Therapists, Ella. Frustrated with the temporary results of waxing, he expressed interest in IPL back hair removal as a more effective and permanent hair reduction solution.

After discussing his skin type, hair type, and desired outcomes, Ella recommended a course of six IPL treatments for optimal results. A patch test was conducted to ensure his skin would respond well to the treatment. Ella used settings tailored to his skin type and hair colour, carefully preparing the area with a protective gel and providing both the client and herself with protective eyewear.

“From the first consultation, I felt like I was in safe hands. Everything was explained to me in detail, and the patch test put my mind at ease.”

IPL back hair treatment journey

The client returned for his first full IPL back hair removal session a few weeks later. The area was prepared by shaving, and a thick layer of cooling gel was applied. Using the same settings as the patch test, Ella meticulously treated the client’s back. Post-treatment, his skin showed slight signs of redness, a normal and temporary reaction that was soothed with cold pads and aesthetics aftercare products – Lynton Light Soothe Serum and Lynton Light Protect SPF 50.

By the second treatment, the client has already noticed a significant reduction in hair growth, with half as much regrowth compared to the first treatment.

Post-treatment the skin was slightly red again, but was causing no discomfort to the client. The same aftercare products were applied to soothe the skin.

The treatment process remained consistent, ensuring comfort and effectiveness with each session.

As the treatments progressed, the results became more pronounced. At the fourth session the client advised there had been no issues or irritation since the previous appointment.

The hair on his back had become very thin and patchy, a clear sign that the IPL treatment was working as intended.

By the final session, the results were outstanding. Hair growth on the client’s back was now minimal and much finer than before.

He was thrilled with the transformation, noting that the process was not painful and the results exceeded his expectations.

“I’m over the moon with the results. My back feels smooth, and I’ve gained so much confidence.”

The full treatment plan cost £750, which offers excellent value compared to the ongoing expense of regular waxing sessions.

IPL back hair removal aftercare recommendations

To maintain the best results and protect his skin, we provided the client with a simple aftercare routine:

  • Avoid hot baths, showers, and physical activities like swimming or exercise for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation.

  • Apply SPF 50 daily to protect the skin from sun damage.

  • Refrain from using any hair removal methods other than shaving to avoid disrupting the treatment process.

  • Schedule IPL treatments 4-6 weeks apart for maximum effectiveness.

“The aftercare was straightforward, and I appreciated the detailed guidance I received after each session.”

While the results are long-lasting, the occasional top-up treatment may be required to maintain results.
