Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is Full Leg IPL hair removal painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a light rubber band snap accompanied by a brief warm flash. Thanks to our advanced contact-cooling handpiece, discomfort is minimized, making treatment across large areas like the legs smooth and completely tolerable.
How many IPL sessions will I need for full leg hair removal?
Because hair grows in distinct cycles (Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen), IPL only targets hair in the active growth phase. A series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart is recommended to achieve up to 85–95% permanent hair reduction.
Can I shave between my leg IPL appointments?
Yes, absolutely! You can and should shave between sessions as needed. However, you must strictly avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as these methods pull the hair root out entirely, leaving no target for the IPL light during your next session.
Will IPL hair removal get rid of 'strawberry legs' and ingrown hairs?
Yes! 'Strawberry legs' (darkened open comedones/follicles) and ingrown hairs are directly caused by shaving and hair trapping. By destroying the root follicle and stopping hair growth beneath the skin, IPL permanently clears ingrown bumps and smooths skin texture.
How should I prepare my legs before my IPL appointment?
Shave your full legs cleanly with a fresh razor 12 to 24 hours before your appointment. Ensure your skin is clean and free from lotions, fake tan, body oils, or sunscreens on the day of your session.
