| What body areas can I have treated? |
| The only area we cannot treat is around the eyes. Any other area of the body can be treated....fast! Permanant hair removal around the eye, such as eyebrows, should be treated with Electrolysis. |
| |
| What should I do before treatment? |
| Before treatment you need to stop plucking or waxing for several weeks to ensure that the follicles are hair-filled for optimum effect. Also do not sunbathe, use tanning booths, sprays or lotions to enhance your skin colour. Your skin needs to be treated at its natural colour. |
| |
| What are the treatment sessions like? |
| Quick and Easy! After initial preparation, the therapist will move the hand piece over your skin. The hand piece emits the light that disables the hair follicles. Most people perceive the light as a gentle 'flicking' sensation. |
| |
| What should I expect after the treatment? |
| Most people experience some mild redness and tenderness in the treated area shortly after the treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a few hours. In some cases, the redness may last longer; but will be mild and temporary. |
| |
| Are there any possible side effects? |
| You may experience some short-term effects; these may include slight reddening of skin or local swelling or welting, which lasts only a few hours. On rare occasions some blistering may occur; but typically resolves quickly. Also, skin can become darker or lighter following the treatment, but will generally return to normal within a few weeks. Limiting sun exposure before and after treatments will minimize the risk of complications. |
| |
| Do I need to do anything after the treatment? |
| You can return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. Only shave the area if needed between treatments. Do not wax, pluck or use any depilatory creams. You should limit sun exposure and use a sun screen, which is always good practice. |
| |
| How many treatments will I need? |
| IPL technology has been proven to create a permanent reduction in the number of regrowing hairs following each treatment in most skin types; however; there are many factors that will determine how many treatments you will need. For example: Your hair colour, texture and density, your skin colour and the area to be treated. We would say approximately 4 to 6 treatments as an average, but a customized program will be designed for you along with an estimate of how many treatments you may need in order to meet your expectations. Any hair with at least some pigment in it (black, brown, red and even blonde) can be treated. |

| What's the difference between Lasers and IPL? |
| IPL and Lasers are very similar and remove hair in basically the same way. However IPL uses technology that disables more follicles at different depths in the skin, making treatments more effective and is several times faster than Lasers, making IPL suitable for even the busiest person. |
