Shaving or waxing your underarms and bikini area can be time-consuming, uncomfortable, and irritating to the skin. At Face Facts Buxton, our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments offer a safe, long-term solution for smooth, hair-free skin in two of the most popular treatment areas: the underarms and the Brazilian.
How IPL Works
- Light Absorption: The IPL device emits pulses of broad-spectrum light that are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair.
- Heat Conversion: The absorbed light is converted into heat, which travels down the hair shaft.
- Follicle Damage: This heat damages the follicle, hindering its ability to grow new hair.
- Hair Reduction: Over a series of treatments, hair becomes finer, lighter, and significantly reduced.
Underarm IPL
- Quick & Convenient: Underarms are one of the fastest areas to treat, with sessions often lasting just a few minutes.
- Long-Lasting Results: After a full course of treatments, many clients enjoy smooth skin with minimal maintenance.
- Gentle Care: IPL is far less irritating than constant shaving or waxing.
More information
Brazilian IPL
- Comprehensive Coverage: A Brazilian treatment removes most or all hair from the pubic area, including the front, sides, and perineum.
- Comfortable Experience: Many find IPL far more comfortable than waxing, describing it as a warm flick or mild tingling.
- Progressive Results: With each session, hair regrowth becomes lighter and slower, giving long-lasting smoothness.
Suitability & Considerations
- Ideal Candidates: Best results are seen on individuals with lighter skin and darker hair.
- Less Effective For: Blonde, red, grey, or white hair, as these shades contain too little pigment for the light to target.
- Preparation: Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading.
- Sessions Needed: Multiple treatments (typically 6–10, spaced 4–6 weeks apart) are required for optimal results.
Aftercare
- Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually settles within hours.
- Soothe with aloe vera or a cool compress if needed.
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, strenuous exercise, and perfumed products for 24–48 hours.
- Apply a high SPF to protect the skin from sun exposure.
Results
With regular treatments, IPL delivers long-term hair reduction in both the underarms and Brazilian area. You’ll experience smoother skin, less irritation, and freedom from daily shaving or frequent waxing.
