What this service offers
Eliminates Razor Burn & Ingrown Hairs
Prevents follicle inflammation, strawberry legs, and painful ingrown hairs caused by constant shaving or waxing.
Advanced Contact Cooling Technology
Equipped with built-in sapphire skin cooling to ensure a virtually painless, comfortable treatment across large leg surfaces.
Saves Time & Long-Term Expense
Replaces constant monthly waxing costs and daily shaving routines with smooth, low-maintenance legs year-round.
What to expect
Assess hair, skin and the area
Discuss hair colour, skin tone, recent tanning and medication. IPL uses intense pulsed light and is not the same device as a laser.
Confirm test and protection
Ask about the device-specific patch test, preparation and protective eyewear before treatment of the agreed hair-removal area.
Review skin response
Discuss cooling, sun protection and when the treated skin is ready for normal products or another session.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Tell the practitioner about tanning, medicines and previous light-treatment reactions.
- Confirm when to shave and whether waxing or plucking must be avoided; the hair-removal and test instructions should be specific to the device.
After your appointment
- Protect the treated area from sun exposure and avoid rubbing or picking at irritated skin.
- Get device-specific advice before resuming hair removal or strong skin products. Blistering, burns or worsening pain should be assessed.

FAQs
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.
