What this service offers
Eliminates Dark Forearm Shadow & Stubble
Destroys roots deep beneath the skin surface to remove the dark shadow tint and coarse prickliness left behind by shaving.
Built-In Sapphire Contact Cooling
Uses integrated skin cooling technology to safeguard delicate inner forearm and wrist skin, ensuring a quick and comfortable treatment.
Prevents Ingrown Hairs & Irritation
Stops hair growth at the subterranean root to eliminate painful ingrown hair bumps and inflammation common with waxing.
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 Half Arm IPL hair removal painful?
Discomfort is minimal and feels like a quick warm flick or light rubber band snap. Thanks to built-in sapphire contact cooling on our device, skin temperature is kept low throughout the procedure, making treatment across sensitive inner forearms and wrists very comfortable.
What area is included in Half Arm IPL?
You can choose between Lower Arms (from the elbows down to the wrists, back of hands, and tops of fingers) OR Upper Arms (from the shoulders down to the elbows). Lower arms are the most popular option for managing dark forearm hair and stubble.
How many IPL sessions will I need for half arm hair removal?
Because body hair grows in deep, 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, you must strictly avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as these methods pull the follicle root out entirely, leaving no target for the IPL light beam during your next visit.
How should I prepare my arms before my IPL appointment?
Shave the selected lower or upper arm area cleanly with a fresh razor 12 to 24 hours prior to your session. Ensure skin is completely free of body lotions, perfumes, self-tanners, or oils on the day of treatment.
