At **Face Facts Buxton**, our professional IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal offers a safe, long-term solution that reduces regrowth and leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother. * * * ## How IPL Works - **Light Absorption** – The IPL device emits broad-spectrum light, which is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair. - **Heat Generation** – The light energy converts into heat, which travels down the hair shaft to the follicle. - **Follicle Damage** – This heat damages the follicle at the root, disrupting its ability to produce new hair. - **Hair Growth Cycle** – IPL is most effective during the anagen (active growth) phase, so multiple treatments are needed to target all hairs. ## The Treatment Process - **Consultation** – Before starting, you’ll have a consultation to confirm suitability, review your medical history, and carry out a small test patch. - **Preparation** – A thin layer of cooling gel may be applied to help guide the light and protect the skin. - **Application** – The IPL applicator is placed on the skin, delivering short pulses of light across the shoulders and upper arms. - **Sensation** – Most people describe the feeling as a mild “flick of a rubber band”, which is generally well tolerated. - **Aftercare** – A cooling pack may be applied, and any redness or warmth usually settles within a few hours. * * * ## Results & Expectations - **Long-Term Reduction** – With each session, hair follicles become weaker, leading to significantly slower, finer, and sparser regrowth. - **Course of Treatments** – For best results, a series of 6–8 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart is typically recommended. - **Skin Benefits** – As an added bonus, IPL can also promote more even skin tone and boost collagen production, improving skin texture. * * * ## Benefits of IPL for Shoulders & Upper Arms - Long-term reduction in unwanted hair - Finer, lighter regrowth over time - Smooth skin with minimal irritation - Safe, non-invasive treatment - No downtime – return to normal activities straight away * * * ## Book Your Consultation Take the hassle out of hair removal with IPL for the shoulders and upper arms at **Face Facts Buxton**. Book your consultation today and enjoy long-lasting smoothness with professional care.
