IPL HAIR REMOVAL

Effective, Safe & Personal

INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) HAIR REMOVAL

Gone are the days of endless waxing, shaving and depilatory creams. Remove your unwanted hair for good with permanent hair reduction. At SKIN AFFAIR we use the very latest technology,  ULTRALUX 4 IPL/SHR hair removal.  Our machine offers a lasting solution for unwanted hair.

Permanent: Concentrated pulses of light loosen the hair and disable the cells responsible for new hair growth

Fast: Small areas, such as the underarms or upper lip can be treated in 10 minutes or less

Comfortable: Various cooling methods keep the light pulses mild and skin safe, allowing for more comfortable treatments than electrolysis and waxing

Convenient: Unlike waxing, there is no need to let hair grow out between treatments. You can remain hair free all the time

We offer a free consultation for all clients which is essential before any treatment. A test patch will also be performed during this consultation. This gives you an indication of how the treatment feels.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?

Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs. The treated hair will continue to appear 7-30 days post treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hairs being expelled from the skin.

At any given time, some of your hair is not in a phase of active growth. Therefore you will need more than one treatment to affect the growth of all your unwanted hair. Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve permanent hair reduction
