IPL & Laser Hair Removal Tips

Five Things That Make the Biggest Difference to Your Results

  • Shave 24 hours before every session — not wax, not cream. The device needs to target the follicle beneath the skin surface, not surface hair that absorbs the energy before it reaches the root.
  • Avoid sun exposure around treatment days — tanned skin increases the risk of reactions. Avoid sun 48 hours before and after each session and use SPF on treated areas.
  • Keep your session schedule consistent — spacing sessions correctly (typically every 2 to 4 weeks during the initial course) is crucial for catching hair in the right growth phase. Irregular sessions extend the time to results significantly.
  • Don’t expect instant results — most people see meaningful reduction after 4 to 6 sessions, with full results after the complete treatment course. This is a process, not a quick fix.
  • Do maintenance sessions — once your initial course is complete, occasional top-up sessions keep results lasting long-term. How often varies by individual.
