4 Steps to the IPL Laser Treatment
1. Client Consultation
Our skilled Therapist will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your unique requirements and tailor a customized treatment plan specifically designed to achieve your desired results. Treatment plans may involve 6-10 sessions for hair reduction, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, or 3-4 sessions for IPL Advanced Treatments, scheduled 2-3 weeks apart.
2. Prep the Treatment Area
In preparation for hair reduction treatments, it is recommended to shave the treatment area 24-48 hours beforehand. This allows for a 1-2 mm stubble length, which is ideal for optimal treatment effectiveness. Before commencing the procedure, the treatment area should be thoroughly cleansed and dried. By ensuring the skin is dry, freshly shaved, and clean, the light can penetrate without any hindrance.
3. Targeted IPL Treatment
Once the treatment area is primed, your skilled SkinBase therapist will initiate the procedure. Our exclusive “Cryo” cooling handset will be applied to the treatment area first, numbing the area and enhancing your comfort during the light treatment. The therapist will then systematically move over the treatment area using a grid method, effectively utilizing the cryo and flash handsets in synchronization.
4. Cleanse & Moisturise
Following the treatment, it is essential to apply a soothing cooling cream or gel, such as aloe vera, to alleviate any potential discomfort and cool the treated area. Additionally, protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure is crucial to prevent pigmentation issues and premature aging. Therefore, after a SkinBase™ IPL treatment, we strongly recommend applying a moisturizer with a suitable Sun Protection Factor (SPF).
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
IPL treatment is considered safe and has received CE certification as a medically approved system. It has undergone independent testing and verification by a leading expert in IPL technology.
In simple terms, IPL utilises high-intensity light to target specific structures within the skin. The heat generated by the light damages these structures, prompting the body’s natural repair process to remove them.
The number of treatments required for permanent hair reduction typically ranges from 6 to 10, although this may vary depending on the individual. However, advanced IPL treatments like acne or thread vein removal may only necessitate 1 to 3 sessions. Your SkinBase IPL therapist will evaluate your specific needs and provide appropriate guidance.
During a IPL laser treatment, you will typically experience a mild warm tingling sensation. This sensation is significantly more comfortable compared to traditional methods like waxing, laser, or electrolysis.
To ensure a comfortable treatment experience, the IPL system incorporates a unique cryo-cooling handset that acts as an anaesthetic on the skin’s surface. While you may occasionally feel slight discomfort during the procedure, it is relatively rare.
IPL can effectively remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body, including the legs, upper lip and chin, bikini line, underarms, and back. Additionally, advanced treatments can be performed on many other areas. For more information, please read further to discover the specific areas SkinBase IPL can enhance.
SkinBase IPL has undergone clinical testing and has proven to be effective for nearly all skin types, with the exception of very dark skin. To learn more, please read on.
Most individuals compare the sensation to a light flick with an elastic band. Prior to treatment, a special cooling handset is applied to the skin to maximize comfort.
The cost of SkinBase IPL treatment depends on factors such as the area being treated, the specific treatment required, and the number of sessions needed. We offer a range of packages for a courses of treatments that are discounted, rather than individual sessions which are more expensive.
