IPL produces long term reduction of unwanted body hair. It can be used to treat most areas of the body in women and men, including the face, and is extremely safe. It offers safe and effective "non-invasive" hair removal for most skin types and hair colours.

The IPL emits high-energy pulses of light directed at the hair follicles (hair roots) where hair actually grows. The IPL emits a dual band of yellow and red light. The red light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) within the hair shaft, causing the temperature to rise with destruction of the hair follicle. The yellow light targets the blood supply to the germ (growth) cells in the hair follicle, resulting in further inhibition of hair re-growth. The IPL usually destroys between 60-90% of growing hairs at each treatment.


 A course of treatments are required as only hair follicles in the growth phase respond to the treatment.

The interval between treatment sessions is usually three to eight weeks, but varies depending on the area of the body treated. The number and frequency of treatments required is dependent on the density and location of hair, as well as skin type, hair colour and other factors.

At your initial consultation, your goals, skin type and hair quality will determine your suitability for IPL hair removal and the optimum treatment programme for you to achieve the best results. If your hair is not suitable for  IPL or if you are unsure  or not ready for IPL, we can offer alternatives such as electrolysis or waxing.

We understand the need for privacy and confidentiality and you can always be assured of a warm welcome. You are more than welcome to bring a friend or partner with you.

For a consultation or treatment your hair need only be visable on the surface of your skin. We will happily remove your make-up and we also have the facilities for you to reapply it in privacy before leaving
