At Face Facts Buxton, we offer IPL Full Leg Hair Removal – a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair. Forget the hassle of daily shaving or painful waxing. Our advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology delivers safe, effective, and lasting results for smoother, hair-free legs.
How IPL for Legs Works
- Targeting Melanin – IPL devices emit flashes of broad-spectrum light, absorbed by melanin in the hair.
- Heat Conversion – The light turns into heat, travelling down the hair shaft to the follicle.
- Follicle Damage – This heat damages the follicle, reducing or stopping future hair growth.
- Hair Growth Cycles – Since IPL only works on hairs in the active (anagen) phase, multiple sessions are required for the best results.

The Treatment Process
- Consultation & Patch Test – We assess your skin and hair type and perform a patch test for safety.
- Preparation – The legs should be shaved 24–48 hours before treatment. Avoid waxing or plucking beforehand.
- Gel Application – A cooling gel is applied to protect your skin and help guide the light.
- Light Pulses – The IPL device is applied across the legs, delivering precise flashes of light.
- Aftercare – Temporary redness or mild sensitivity may occur but usually subsides quickly. SPF is essential post-treatment.

Preparing for Your IPL Session
