IPL Hair Reduction

Smooth, hair-free skin all year round is possible with our IPL Permanent Hair Reduction treatments. Harnessing the industry’s leading IPL technology, we are Dapto’s leaders in safe and results-driven hair removal for both men and women.

For larger treatment areas, such as the legs and back, we utilise Super Hair Removal (SHR) technology to deliver rapid and pain-free hair removal treatments. The most revolutionary approach to hair removal treatments to date, SHR has you in and out of the treatment in half the time of a regular IPL treatment.

If it’s time to ditch waxing and shaving for good and welcome the convenience of hair-free skin, explore our treatments below and book your IPL consultation to kickstart your journey.

We kindly request new IPL clients book a patch test prior to your initial treatment. We can not perform the treatment if this hasn’t been done a minimum of 24 hours prior. We only need to do this one time and it is mandatory.

How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?
IPL Hair Removal works by using intense pulses of light energy to destroy the pigment within your hair follicles. This destroys hair-producing cells, resulting in permanently reduced hair growth on the legs, arms, underarms, face, bikini region, chest, and back. 

Why do I need a skin consultation before my first treatment?
This is to ensure the safest and most efficient treatment possible for your skin. A test patch will also be performed to ensure your skin does not react in an undesirable way to IPL. You will also be asked about any medications or medical issues that could prevent you from having treatment.

How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required for optimal reduction varies from client to client. This is due to different skin types, hair types, and the area being treated. Your individual treatment plan will be devised during your consultation.

What about Safety?
Your safety and treatment efficacy is paramount. No risks are taken in regards to light based therapies. Please know that we am constantly updating our skills and completing ongoing training to ensure the treatments we offer are done so in the safest possible way.

What can I expect after treatment?

HAIR REMOVAL

• A mild sunburn-like sensation is anticipated. This usually resolves within 2-3 hours of treatment but may persist for up to 2 days.
• Appearance of “stubble” may appear in 1 to 3 weeks. This is not hair re-growth. It is the remnant of treated hairs being expelled from the IPL-damaged follicle. Allow this hair to fall out of the skin on its own or encourage with gentle exfoliation. Do not pluck or tweeze. You may shave during this period.
• Application of chilled Aloe Vera gel or a cold compress every hour for 5 to10 minutes may be soothing to the skin. Continue until symptoms subside.
• Avoid sun exposure to treated areas. Apply a sun block with SPF 30 or greater daily to sun-exposed treated areas between treatments and for 4-6 weeks after last treatment.
• Bathe or shower as usual. Treated areas may be temperature sensitive. Avoid use of extremely hot water, strongly scented lotions or soaps, prescription strength exfoliant creams, loofah sponges, and aggressive scrubbing to treated areas during healing phase.
• Allow any blistered or open areas to heal spontaneously. If healing is delayed, a thin coating of antibiotic ointment may be advised. Do not pick at these areas. Picking may result in infection or scarring.
• Allow any crusting to heal spontaneously, crusting will resolve in 3 to 14 days.
• Best results are obtained on clients who have follow up treatment immediately after hair starts to grow. Your clinician will advise you when you should schedule your next appointment. It is important to adhere to this regime.
• Until the redness has completely resolved, avoid the following:
• No active cosmetics on treated areas (including AHA/BHA’s, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and physical exfoliants)
• No swimming, especially in pools with chemical/chlorine
• No Hot Tubs or Jacuzzis.
• No exercise or activities that cause excessive perspiration.
• Avoid sun exposure to treated areas.
• Do not pick, scratch, or remove scabs, as this will cause unwanted side effects.

When booking, please notify staff if you have any medical conditions that may affect your treatment.
