At **Face Facts Buxton**, our professional IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) underarm hair removal offers a long-term solution for smooth, hair-free skin. * * * ## How It Works - **Preparation:** The underarm area is shaved to ensure the light energy targets the follicles at the root. - **Light Application:** A handheld IPL device delivers pulses of broad-spectrum light to the skin. - **Melanin Absorption:** The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the light energy. - **Heat Conversion:** The absorbed light converts into heat, damaging the follicle and preventing regrowth. - **Hair Shedding:** Treated hairs fall out naturally within 1–3 weeks as the skin renews. ## Treatment Process - **Multiple Sessions:** Since IPL only works on hairs in their active growth phase, a course of treatments is needed. - **Spacing:** Sessions are typically scheduled every 4–6 weeks to target different stages of the hair growth cycle. - **Maintenance:** Occasional top-up treatments may be recommended to maintain long-lasting smoothness. * * * ## Effectiveness - **Hair Colour:** Best results are achieved on naturally darker hair (dark blonde to black). - **Skin Tone:** Works best on fair to medium skin tones. Very dark skin tones may not be suitable due to reduced contrast between hair and skin. - **Results:** IPL does not remove hair permanently but offers long-lasting reduction, with hair that grows back finer and lighter. * * * ## What to Expect - **Duration:** Underarm sessions are quick, usually taking just 10–15 minutes. - **Sensation:** Most clients describe the feeling as a mild snap, like a rubber band against the skin. - **Side Effects:** Temporary redness or slight swelling may occur, subsiding within a few hours. * * * ## Aftercare - Avoid deodorants, hot showers, saunas, or swimming for 24 hours after treatment. - Use soothing aloe vera gel or a cool compress if needed. - Protect the area from sun exposure and always use SPF if skin is exposed. * * * ## Benefits of IPL Underarm Hair Removal - Long-lasting hair reduction - Quick and convenient treatments - Reduced irritation compared to shaving or waxing - Finer, lighter regrowth over time * * * ## Book Your Consultation Enjoy smooth, hair-free underarms with IPL hair removal at **Face Facts Buxton**.
