Tired of constant waxing, threading, or shaving? Our IPL Upper Lip Hair Removal treatment at Face Facts Buxton provides a long-term solution to unwanted hair, leaving you with smoother, hair-free skin and renewed confidence.
How IPL Works
- Light Absorption: The IPL device emits pulses of broad-spectrum light that are absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles.
- Heat Generation: The absorbed light converts to heat, which travels down the shaft to the follicle.
- Follicle Destruction: The heat damages the follicle, disrupting its ability to produce new hair.
- Shedding Phase: Over 1–3 weeks, treated hairs fall out naturally as the skin renews itself.
More information
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation & Patch Test: We assess your skin and hair type to ensure IPL is suitable and safe.
- Preparation: The upper lip area is shaved, and a cooling gel is applied to the skin.
- Procedure: Protective eyewear is provided. The IPL applicator is moved across the upper lip, releasing short pulses of light.
- Sensation: Most clients describe the feeling as a quick snap of an elastic band or a warm, tingling sensation.
Results & Maintenance
- Multiple Sessions: Because hair grows in cycles, several treatments are needed to target all follicles in their active growth phase.
- Treatment Plan: A course of 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is typically recommended.
- Long-Term Reduction: Treated hairs will not return, though occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
- Finer Regrowth: Any new hair growth is usually lighter and finer than before.
Who is it Best For?
- Hair Colour: IPL works best on darker hair with high melanin levels.
- Skin Tone: Most effective for lighter skin tones with dark hair, offering the best contrast for targeting.
