For anyone tired of shaving and waxing
IPL works on the pigment in the hair, gradually weakening the follicle so fewer, finer hairs grow back. Because hair grows in cycles, a course of sessions is needed to treat each hair at the right stage.
It works best on darker hair. Your therapist will check your skin and hair type at your free patch test and consultation.
- Daily shaving and razor rash
- Ingrown hairs and shadowing
- Regular waxing appointments
- Facial hair on the lip, chin or cheeks
- Larger areas such as legs, back or chest
What to expect
Free consultation
We check your skin and hair type, medical history and the areas you want treated.
Patch test
A small test area confirms the right settings for you before your first full treatment.
Shave beforehand
Shave the area before your appointment. Please do not wax or pluck, as IPL needs the hair root.
Treatment
Pulses of light are applied to the area. Small areas such as the upper lip take around 15 minutes.

IPL Hair Removal FAQs
Do I need a patch test?
Yes. Your first visit is a free 15-minute patch test and consultation, so we can check that IPL is suitable for your skin and hair.
How many sessions will I need?
We recommend a course of 6 sessions, spaced several weeks apart. Some clients need occasional maintenance sessions afterwards.
How much does IPL hair removal cost?
Single sessions start at £39 for the upper lip. Courses of 6 start at £190, for example underarms × 6 is £306.
Is it permanent?
IPL gives long-lasting hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal. Most clients see far fewer, finer hairs after a full course.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe a warm, brief snapping sensation. Settings are adjusted to keep you comfortable.
Does it work on all hair colours?
IPL works best on darker hair. It is less effective on very light, grey, white or red hair. We check this at your consultation.
What if I need to change my appointment?
