IPL Hair Removal & Tattoo Removal at Galeo Beauty
At Galeo Beauty in Hartbeespoort, iPL hair reduction and tattoo removal use light-based technology for different purposes. They belong in one technology category but require separate assessments and treatment plans.
At Galeo Beauty in Hartbeespoort, our Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) services offer a long-term solution to unwanted hair. Using controlled light pulses, IPL targets the melanin in the hair follicle, damaging the root and significantly reducing hair growth over a series of sessions. It is a safe, effective alternative to the endless cycle of waxing and shaving.

FAQs
Do you offer both IPL hair removal and tattoo removal in Hartbeespoort?
Yes. This category covers both IPL hair reduction for unwanted hair and laser-style tattoo removal services for fading unwanted ink.
Is IPL hair removal permanent?
IPL is best described as permanent hair reduction. Most clients see a major drop in regrowth after a full course, with occasional maintenance depending on the area.
How many sessions are usually needed?
Most IPL and tattoo-removal plans require multiple sessions because hair and pigment clear in stages, so we build a course based on the area being treated.
Does IPL hair removal hurt?
Most clients compare the sensation to a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin. It is generally very tolerable, and cooling gels are used to maximize comfort.
Can I have IPL treatments while tanned?
No. You must avoid sun exposure, sunbeds, and fake tan for at least 2 to 4 weeks before your session to ensure safe and effective treatment.
