Unwanted hair on the hands can be frustrating and difficult to manage. At Face Facts Buxton, our IPL Hair Removal for Hands treatment offers a long-term solution, reducing hair growth for smooth, soft skin you’ll feel confident showing off.
How IPL Works on the Hands
- Light Pulses – Broad-spectrum light is delivered to the skin.
- Melanin Absorption – The pigment in the hair absorbs the light energy.
- Heat Conversion – Light converts into heat, damaging the follicle.
- Reduced Regrowth – Over time, hair growth is significantly reduced.

The Treatment Process
- Consultation – A full consultation ensures the treatment is safe and effective for your skin and hair type.
- Preparation – The area is cleansed and a cooling gel applied to protect the skin.
- Light Pulses – The IPL device delivers short, controlled flashes of light to the treatment area.
- Hair Shedding – Damaged hairs remain in the follicle before naturally shedding over 1–3 weeks.
What to Expect
- Sensation – Often described as a warm “snap” or “elastic flick” on the skin.
- Side Effects – Mild redness or swelling may occur but typically subsides within hours.
- Downtime – Minimal to none; you can return to normal activities straight away.
- Results – Noticeable reduction after just a few sessions, with long-lasting smoothness after a full course.

- Smooth Skin – Hands look and feel softer and more refined.
- Safe & Effective – Non-invasive treatment with minimal discomfort.
- Confidence Boost – No more worrying about visible hand hair.
Treatment Plan & Suitability
- Sessions Required – A course of 6–8 treatments, spaced 4–8 weeks apart, is usually needed.
- Ideal Candidates – Best results are seen on fair skin with dark hair.
- Maintenance – Occasional top-up treatments may be required for long-term smoothness.
Aftercare Advice
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment.

- Protect treated skin from sun exposure with SPF 30+.
