What skin conditions can IPL treat?

Ageing Skin
IPL will rejuvenate your skin by stimulating deep collagen production. Your skin will appear smoother, plumper and lifted, with uneven skin tone and skin texture greatly improved. Open pores will also be minimised. During this treatment the light is absorbed by the appropriate structure in the skin stimulating collagen production or coagulating the tiny blood vessels, or breaking up the melanin in the pigmentation patch. Most people will need around 6 treatments for rejuvenation and up to 6 treatments for other conditions.

Red Thread Vein
The light is absorbed by the veins causing coagulation of these tiny blood vessels.

Pigmentation
The light is absorbed by the sun spot, age spot or other pigmentation and breaks up the melanin – melanin is the substance in the skin which causes pigmentation.

Active Acne
The light stimulates the production of oxygen which destroys the bacteria responsible for the pustules and other blemishes associated with acne. The pustules heal and redness and inflammation are greatly reduced. The skin’s healing response kicks in which improves any scarring and reduces further outbreaks.

Note: The treatment of red veins, age spots or other pigmentation, rosacea and scar tissue are all included in a rejuvenation session. EACH session also includes a Skin Consultation to review your treatments and progress. Your Therapist will also discuss your home care and make recommendations for products to use in between sessions

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and Super Hair Removal (SHR) advanced technologies offer several benefits for hair removal:

Painless and Comfortable: Both IPL and SHR are designed to minimize discomfort during treatment. SHR, in particular, uses low energy levels and high repetition rates to gradually heat the hair follicles, which is less painful than traditional methods. With the addition of a Cryo Cooling Head your confort is our top priority.

Suitable for All Skin Types: IPL and SHR can be used on a wide range of skin types and tones. SHR is especially effective for darker skin tones, as it targets hair follicles rather than the surrounding skin.

Effective on Various Hair Types: Both technologies are effective on different hair types, including fine and lighter hair, which are typically challenging for other laser treatments.

Quick Treatment Sessions: IPL and SHR can treat larger areas of the body quickly, reducing the time needed for each session compared to traditional laser hair removal.

Minimal Side Effects: The advanced technology of IPL and SHR reduces the risk of side effects such as burns, pigmentation changes, and irritation, making the treatments safer for the skin.

Long-Term Results: Regular sessions of IPL and SHR can lead to significant and long-term reduction in hair growth, with many people experiencing permanent hair reduction after completing the recommended treatment course.

Versatility: IPL is not only used for hair removal but also for other skin treatments like reducing pigmentation, improving skin texture, and treating vascular lesions, making it a versatile option in aesthetic treatments.

Non-Invasive: Both IPL and SHR are non-invasive procedures, meaning they do not require any surgical intervention or downtime, allowing individuals to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. These benefits make IPL and SHR very popular choices for those seeking effective, safe, and comfortable hair removal solutions.

IPL Hair Removal treatment is commonly used by both men and women to remove excess or unwanted hair.

The most common area’s treated include the legs, bikini, back, chest, underarms and face.

Traditional methods of hair removal (such as shaving or waxing) are only
temporary, giving relief only for a short time frame before the hair grows back whereas IPL hair removal offers up to an 85% permanent hair reduction. Top up treatments may be required each year following the completion of your course of treatments. It is important to note that results vary from person to person due to various factors which include, hormones and genetics. This is will be discussed during your initial consultation.

For IPL to work effectively, hair is required to allow the light to target and destroy the follicle (root), therefore it’s best not to wax or epilate ahead of your session.

BENEFITS OF IPL HAIR REMOVAL

EXPERTISE AND PRECISION

Professional IPL treatments are administered by trained and certified therapists. Their expertise ensures that the device is used correctly, optimising settings based on your skin and hair type. This precision enhances the effectiveness of each session and reduces the risk of side effects.

CUSTOMISED TREATMENT PLANS

In a professional setting, treatments are tailored to your specific needs. A full assessment of your hair and skin type, medical history, and hair removal goals is carried out to create a customised plan. This personalised approach increases the likelihood of achieving the best possible results.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Professional clinics often use state-of-the-art IPL devices that offer more power and advanced features compared to home-use versions. These high-quality machines can treat larger areas more efficiently and may provide better results in fewer sessions.

SAFETY AND COMFORT

At The Granite Spa, your safety is our top priority. We follow strict hygiene standards, and our therapists are fully trained to minimise discomfort and manage any potential side effects.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE

Professional IPL offers comprehensive care that extends beyond the treatment itself. We provide pre-treatment consultations and post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best results and skin health. Ongoing support and follow-up sessions are part of the package.

LONG-TERM SAVINGS

Although professional IPL treatments involve upfront costs, the long-term savings can be significant. The reduction in hair growth minimises the need for frequent purchases of razors, waxing, and other hair removal products, making it a cost-effective and stress-free solution over time.

THE TREATMENT PROCESS

CONSULTATION & PATCH TEST

The journey begins with a thorough skin consultation and patch test which must be carried out a minimum of 3 days prior to your first treatment. This step is crucial to assess your skin type, hair colour and medical history.

We will discuss your hair removal goals, areas you wish to treat and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. A small area is tested to determine how your skin reacts to IPL, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

IPL TREATMENT

A full course of 8 sessions are usually always recommended to achieve optimal results, spaced 4 to 6 weeks in advance. The results vary based on hair and hair skin type, with darker hair and lighter skin responding best to IPL. Periodic maintenance sessions may be required to sustain hair reduction, typically once or twice a year.

POST TREATMENT CARE

Apply a soothing cream or aloe vera to the treated area to reduce redness and irritation. It is important that you avoid direct sun exposure and use a high SPF if you go outside to protect the treated area. Refrain from using hot water, saunas and physical activities for up to 72 hours post treatment. Do not wax or pluck hairs between sessions, shaving is the only method of hair removal that you can use. Please don’t shave prior to your treatment as we will assess the results at each session.

This treatment is not suitable if you are under 18 years old, pregnant or breastfeeding.
