What this service offers
Eliminates Strawberry Legs & Ingrowns
Stops subterranean follicle inflammation and dark open pores caused by frequent razor blade friction.

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 Leg IPL hair removal painful?
Discomfort is minimal and feels like a quick warm snap or light rubber band flick. Because shin skin sits close to the bone, our device uses built-in sapphire contact cooling to keep skin temperature low and comfortable throughout.
What area does Half Leg IPL cover?
You can choose between Lower Legs (from the top of the knees down to the ankles, including feet and toes) or Upper Legs (from the hip/bikini junction down to the knees). Lower legs are the most popular choice for coarse stubble management.
How many IPL sessions will I need for half leg hair removal?
Because hair grows in distinct cycles, a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal permanent hair reduction.
Can I shave my legs between IPL appointments?
Yes, you can and should shave between sessions whenever needed. However, you must strictly avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as these methods remove the root target needed for the IPL light beam during your next visit.
How should I prepare my legs before my IPL appointment?
Cleanly shave your lower or upper legs with a fresh razor 12 to 24 hours prior to your session. Ensure skin is free from body moisturizers, fake tanners, or oils on the day of treatment.
