If you think: shaving only gives you the temporary short-term smoothness and hair could grow faster and thicker. Waxing prevents ingrown hair and makes results last longer, but it is not everyone’s preferred hair removal method based on their skin sensitivity and pain tolerance.
Then, IPL laser could be your number one preferred method. Painless. Effective. Long-lasting result up to 6 months after 5- 10 appointments. The IPL technology uses heat to weaken and destroy the hair follicle to prevent growth.
Before your appointment:
- Avoid tanning including sun exposure in area(s) of treatment and fake tanning
- No make-up, moisturizer, deodorants or any applicable products.
- Consult if you are taking any light sensitive medication
- Consult if you have any skin sensitivity to heat and light
Preparing for your treatment:
- Wear comfortable clothing to relax the skin after the treatment
- Shave the area(s) 1 day before the appointment
- No deodorant is applied on the skin surface for the underarms.
- For both male and female Brazilian, G-string, buttock, please wash the area

- Expect a warm sensation and tingling while we apply the IPL, which might be painful depending on skin sensitivity levels.
After the appointment:
- Avoid activities that produce sweat for the next 24 hours
- No exposure of areas to sunlight (increases your risk of burns and irritation)
- Do not pluck, wax or use depilatory creams on the treated area during the IPL laser hair removal sessions
- After your first appointment, depending on your hair thickness level, the hair will grow back but slightly thinner, and some hair should fall off.
- After your 2nd and 3rd appointment, depending on your hair’s thickness level, the hair will grow back more slowly and thin. The hair on the areas will fall off
- After your 4th and 5th appointment, the hair might take a few weeks to grow and when it does, you can come back for your next appointment.
- Shaving 1 week after treatment is encouraged for the hair follicle to be destroyed and fall off. This should take place 3-21 days after treatment.
- Apply sunscreen to avoid sun exposure.
