Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Shave your full face cleanly with a fresh facial razor 12 to 24 hours prior to your session—do not wax, pluck, or thread for 4 weeks before IPL.
- Avoid direct sun exposure, fake tanners, tanning beds, or chemical peels on your face for 2 to 4 weeks prior to treatment.
After your appointment
- Apply broad-spectrum mineral SPF 50 daily without fail—freshly treated facial skin must be shielded from UV rays.
- Avoid hot water, saunas, hot tubs, intense workouts, and active home exfoliants (AHAs/Retinol) for 24 to 48 hours post-session.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is Full Face IPL hair removal painful?
Discomfort is minimal and feels like a quick warm snap or light rubber band flick. Because facial skin is delicate, our advanced device utilizes built-in sapphire contact cooling to keep skin temperature low and comfortable throughout the session.
Will IPL work on fine blond 'peach fuzz' on the face?
IPL relies on melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft to convert light energy into heat. It works exceptionally well on dark, brown, or coarse facial hair. Very pale blond, grey, white, or red vellus hair ('peach fuzz') contains little pigment and may not absorb IPL light effectively.
How many IPL sessions will I need for full face hair removal?
Because facial hair growth is hormonally influenced and grows in cycles, a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal, long-lasting hair reduction.
Can I wax, pluck, or thread my face between IPL appointments?
No. You must avoid waxing, plucking, or threading between sessions because these methods pull the follicle root out entirely. The root must remain intact for the IPL light to target during your next session. You can, however, shave or dermaplane if needed.
How should I prepare my face before my IPL appointment?
Shave your full face cleanly with a fresh facial razor 12 to 24 hours prior to your appointment. Ensure your skin is completely free from makeup, moisturizers, self-tanners, or sunscreens when you arrive.
