Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is Full Arm IPL hair removal painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a light rubber band snap with a brief warming sensation. Thanks to built-in contact cooling, treatment across sensitive areas like the inner forearm and wrist is comfortable and well-tolerated.
Does Full Arm IPL include hands and fingers?
Yes! At Galeo Beauty, our Full Arm IPL treatment covers the complete arm unit, including the upper arms, elbows, forearms, wrists, back of hands, and tops of fingers for a uniform hair-free appearance.
How many IPL sessions will I need for full arm hair removal?
Because hair grows in distinct cycles, a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal, permanent hair reduction.
Can I shave my arms between IPL appointments?
Yes! You can and should shave between sessions whenever necessary. However, avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as these methods remove the follicle root needed for the light beam to target during your next appointment.
How should I prepare my arms before my IPL appointment?
Shave your full arms, hands, and fingers cleanly with a fresh razor 12 to 24 hours prior to your session. Ensure skin is free of lotions, perfumes, self-tanners, or sunscreen on the day of your treatment.
