IPL Hair Removal

Intense Pulse light is a technology used to perform various skin treatments, from hair removal to skin rejuvenation. The LYNTON IPL technology is widely considered as one of the best on the market with Lynton supplying machines to the NHS.

IPL is an effective method for removing unwanted hair from the body. It works by directing light energy at the pigment cells (melanin) within hair. The hair shaft contains a high concentration of melanin. This energy is absorbed by the melanin which heat up, causing damage to the hair follicle and shaft.  Over time, the damaged hair sheds from the skin, thereby reducing the amount of hair on that area of skin.

Treatment is repeated in a 4 to 6 week cycle and it may take up to 12 treatments (on certain parts of the body) to achieve optimum results. Although significant improvement is usually seen by the 4th treatment. As IPL relies on pigmentation within the hair follicle to work, treatment is most effective in people with fair skin (little pigment) and dark hair (high pigment concentration). The Lynton IPL is incredibly powerful and as such, can work on most hair and skin types although not on very dark skin.

A complimentary initial consultation and patch test is always recommended to determine your suitability for this hair removal method.
