Tired of constant shaving or waxing? At Face Facts Buxton, our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Underarm & Half Leg combination treatment offers a convenient, long-lasting solution. By targeting the hair follicles directly, IPL reduces unwanted hair growth, leaving your skin smoother for longer.
How IPL Works
- Light Absorption: The IPL device emits broad-spectrum light, which is absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair.
- Heat Conversion: The absorbed light energy turns into heat, travelling down the hair shaft.
- Follicle Damage: This heat damages the follicle and growth bulb, preventing future hair growth.
- Long-Term Reduction: With repeated treatments, hair growth is significantly reduced, and any regrowth becomes finer and lighter.

Targeted Areas
- Underarms: One of the quickest and most popular areas to treat, leaving skin smooth and free from daily irritation.
- Half Leg: Treat either the upper or lower half of your legs, reducing unwanted hair and giving you lasting smoothness.
Why Choose IPL for These Areas?
- Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy freedom from constant shaving and waxing.
- Efficient: Both areas can be treated in the same session for convenience.
- Comfortable: Most clients describe the sensation as a mild “snap” or warm flick.
- Suitable for Busy Lifestyles: Minimal downtime with visible results after a few sessions.
The Treatment Process
- Consultation: A consultation and patch test will be carried out to ensure IPL is suitable for your skin and hair type.
- Preparation: The underarms and legs must be shaved before the appointment.
- Application: A cooling gel is applied, and the IPL applicator is placed on the skin to deliver light pulses.
- Frequency: Treatments are spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with 6–8 sessions recommended for best results.
Results & Aftercare
- Hair Shedding: Treated hairs fall out naturally within 1–3 weeks.
- Smooth Skin: Hair becomes finer and regrows less frequently over time.
- Aftercare: Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, and perfumed products for 24–48 hours. Apply SPF daily to protect treated areas.
Is It Right for You?
IPL is most effective on those with lighter skin and darker hair, as the contrast allows the light to target the follicle more precisely. It is not suitable for very fair, red, grey, or white hair.
