Unwanted facial hair can be frustrating and time-consuming to manage. At Face Facts Buxton, our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal treatment for the jaw, chin, and upper lip offers a long-lasting solution, giving you smoother skin and freedom from daily maintenance.
How IPL Hair Removal Works
- Light Energy – IPL uses pulses of broad-spectrum light that target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles.
- Heat Conversion – The absorbed light turns into heat, damaging the follicle at the root.
- Hair Shedding – Treated hairs fall out naturally over the following 1–3 weeks.
- Lasting Reduction – With multiple treatments, follicles become dormant, reducing regrowth for smoother, hair-free skin.

Why Choose IPL for the Face?
- Gentle & Non-Invasive – Softer on the skin compared to waxing or threading.
- Quick & Convenient – Treatments for small areas like the upper lip take just minutes.
- Precision Technology – Specialised facial attachments allow safe, targeted treatment below the cheekbones.
- Smooth Confidence – No more irritation, shaving rash, or shadow from stubble.
The Treatment Process
- Consultation & Patch Test – We’ll assess your skin and hair type and perform a test patch to ensure IPL is suitable for you.
- Preparation – The treatment area should be shaved beforehand; a cooling gel may be applied to protect the skin.
- Light Pulses Delivered – The handheld IPL applicator emits short flashes of light, targeting multiple follicles at once.
- Sensation – Most people describe the feeling as a warm “flick” or a gentle snap, similar to an elastic band.
- Aftercare – Mild redness or sensitivity may occur but usually subsides within a few hours. SPF protection is advised after treatment.
Treatment Plan & Results
- Sessions Required – A course of 6–8 treatments is usually recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Maintenance – Occasional top-up sessions may be required to keep results long-term.
- Best Candidates – IPL works best on those with lighter skin and darker hair, as the contrast allows the light to effectively target melanin.
