At **Face Facts Buxton**, our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments provide long-lasting hair reduction in these sensitive areas, leaving skin smoother and hair-free for longer. * * * ## How the Treatment Works - **Light Absorption:** IPL devices emit pulses of broad-spectrum light that are absorbed by melanin (the pigment in hair). - **Heat Conversion:** The light energy turns into heat, which travels down the hair shaft. - **Follicle Damage:** This heat disrupts the follicle, impairing its ability to grow new hair. - **Reduced Regrowth:** With repeated treatments, hair growth becomes finer, lighter, and significantly reduced. ## Suitability and Effectiveness - **Best Candidates:** Works best on lighter skin with darker, coarser hair. - **Sensitive Areas:** The underarm and bikini areas often respond well to IPL. - **Not Suitable For:** Very light blonde, red, grey, or white hair, as there is not enough melanin for the light to target. - **Skin Tone Considerations:** Professional devices allow safe treatment across a wider range of skin tones with proper consultation and patch testing. * * * ## Before Your Appointment - Avoid sun exposure and tanning for **4–6 weeks** before your session. - Shave the area **12–24 hours** beforehand. - Do not wax, pluck, or thread for at least **4 weeks** prior. - Ensure the skin is clean and free of creams, deodorant, or lotions on the day. * * * ## During the Treatment - A cooling gel is applied to protect and soothe the skin. - The IPL device delivers controlled light pulses, covering the whole area. - Sensation is often compared to a warm flick or the snap of a small elastic band. - The session is quick and efficient, lasting around **20–30 minutes**. * * * ## Aftercare - Mild redness or swelling may appear, usually settling within hours. - Soothe the skin with aloe vera or a cool compress if needed. - Avoid hot baths, saunas, strenuous exercise, and perfumed products for 24–48 hours. - Protect the treated areas with a high SPF if exposed to sunlight. * * * ## Results and Treatment Plan - **Number of Sessions:** Most clients need **5–10 treatments**, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. - **Shedding:** Treated hairs shed naturally over 1–3 weeks. - **Maintenance:** Occasional top-up sessions may be recommended. - **Results:** Long-term reduction in hair growth with smoother, softer skin and less irritation. * * * ## Book Your Consultation Take the hassle out of hair removal with IPL underarm and bikini line treatments at **Face Facts Buxton**.
