Achieve smoother skin and long-lasting confidence with our IPL Upper Leg & Bikini Line Hair Removal treatment at Face Facts Buxton. This combined service is designed to target two of the most popular areas for hair removal, giving you convenience and effective results in one course of treatments.
How the Combined Treatment Works
- Upper Legs: A larger applicator and gliding technique are used to cover the broader area efficiently.
- Bikini Line: A smaller, more precise applicator is used, with gentle settings suitable for more sensitive skin.
The IPL device emits pulses of light that are absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles. This light energy converts to heat, which damages the follicle and disrupts its ability to regrow hair.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to achieve long-term reduction.
More information
Suitability for Treatment
- Best Candidates: Works most effectively on dark blonde, brown, or black hair against fair to medium skin tones.
- Less Suitable: Very light (blonde, grey, or red) hair may not respond due to low melanin content.
- Caution: Not recommended for very dark skin tones, as the light may target skin pigment, leading to burns or pigmentation issues.
Preparation Before Your Session
- Shave the Day Before: Ensure both treatment areas are shaved 24–48 hours before. Do not wax, pluck, or thread.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sun, tanning beds, and fake tan for at least 4–6 weeks beforehand.
- Clean Skin: Arrive with skin free of creams, oils, or lotions.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Sensation: Often described as a warm pulse or the quick snap of an elastic band.
- Comfort Measures: A cooling gel may be applied to protect and soothe the skin, especially in the bikini area.
- Duration: Treating both areas is relatively quick, though the bikini line may feel slightly more sensitive.
Aftercare
- Immediate Effects: Mild redness or swelling may appear, similar to a light sunburn, and usually subsides within 48 hours.
- Soothe the Skin: Apply aloe vera or a cool compress if needed.
- Avoid Heat & Irritation: Skip hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours. Wear breathable clothing.
- Sun Protection: Continue avoiding sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF for several weeks.
- No Harsh Products: Avoid exfoliants, peels, or perfumed products for at least one week.
Treatment Schedule & Results
- Course of Treatments: Typically 6–10 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Results: Noticeable reduction in hair growth, smoother skin, and fewer ingrown hairs.
- Maintenance: Occasional top-up sessions may be needed for long-term results.
