Unwanted hair along the navel line can be stubborn and difficult to manage with shaving or waxing. At Face Facts Buxton, our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) navel line treatment offers a safe, long-term solution. Using advanced light technology, this treatment targets the hair follicle to significantly reduce regrowth, leaving your midsection smoother and more confident.
How IPL Hair Removal Works
- Light Energy – A handheld IPL device delivers broad-spectrum light to the skin.
- Melanin Absorption – The hair’s pigment absorbs the light, which converts into heat.
- Follicle Damage – The heat travels to the root of the hair follicle, damaging its ability to regrow.
- Hair Shedding – Treated hairs naturally shed over 1–3 weeks after each session.
- Long-Term Reduction – With repeated treatments, hair growth becomes finer, lighter, and greatly reduced.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Quick Sessions – Treating the navel line usually takes just 10–15 minutes.
- Sensation – Clients often describe the feeling as a quick elastic band “flick” or a warm tingle.
- Multiple Sessions – For the best results, 6–10 treatments spaced 4–8 weeks apart are typically recommended.
- Noticeable Results – Hair growth slows with each session, and many clients enjoy long-lasting smoothness with only occasional top-ups.

Potential Side Effects
While IPL is a safe treatment when performed by trained professionals, some mild, temporary side effects may occur:
- Redness or slight swelling around the hair follicles.
- A warm or tingling sensation, similar to mild sunburn.
- Temporary dryness or flaking of the skin.
Rare but possible:
- Pigmentation changes (temporary lightening or darkening).
- Small risk of burns or blisters, especially on tanned or darker skin if not tested properly.
- Very rarely, paradoxical hair growth, thought to be hormone-related.
This is why a consultation and patch test are essential before treatment.
Is IPL Right for You?
IPL works best for those with:
- Light to medium skin tones and dark hair.
- Small, defined treatment areas like the navel line.
It is less effective on blonde, red, grey, or white hair due to lower melanin levels. Clients with darker skin tones may need an alternative treatment option, which can be discussed at consultation.
