Say goodbye to endless shaving and waxing with our IPL Upper Leg Hair Removal treatment at Face Facts Buxton. This non-invasive procedure uses advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to target hair follicles at the root, reducing regrowth and leaving your legs smoother for longer. Perfect for larger areas, IPL is a safe and effective option for long-lasting results.
How IPL Works
- Light Absorption: The IPL device emits controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light that are absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair.
- Heat Conversion: The absorbed light converts to heat, damaging the follicle and disrupting its ability to regrow hair.
- Hair Reduction: Over multiple sessions, treated hairs shed and regrowth slows, resulting in long-term reduction.
- Growth Cycle: Because only hairs in their active growth (anagen) phase respond to treatment, several sessions are needed for best results.

The Treatment Process
- Consultation & Patch Test: We assess your skin and hair type to ensure IPL is suitable for you.
- Preparation: You’ll be asked to shave the area 24 hours before treatment. A thin layer of cooling gel is applied to the skin.
- Application: The IPL applicator is placed against the skin, delivering quick pulses of light to the upper legs.
- Movement: The applicator is repositioned until the entire area is treated.
- Sessions: A course of around 6–8 treatments, spaced 4–8 weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results.
What to Expect
- Sensation: Most clients describe the feeling as a warm pulse or a flick of an elastic band.
- Effectiveness: IPL works best on individuals with fair to medium skin and darker hair, as this contrast allows the light to target the follicles effectively.
- Results: Noticeable hair reduction after a few sessions, with smoother skin and long-term results.
- Aftercare: Keep the area moisturised, avoid sun exposure, and use SPF 30+ on treated skin.
