IPL Hair Removal Perth | Long-Term Hair Reduction
Common Names: Laser Hair Removal
IPL hair removal is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment designed to help reduce unwanted body and facial hair. Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, this treatment targets the pigment in hair follicles to slow future growth and reveal smoother-looking skin.
Unlike shaving or waxing, which remove hair temporarily, IPL offers long-term hair reduction by focusing light energy on the follicle beneath the skin’s surface. Over time, this process helps minimise regrowth while keeping the surrounding skin protected and comfortable.

What Is IPL Hair Removal?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. During treatment, controlled light pulses are delivered to the skin, targeting the melanin (pigment) in each hair follicle. The light energy converts to gentle heat, which helps disrupt the follicle’s growth cycle.
The procedure is customised to your skin tone and hair colour for safe, effective results. Many clients find IPL to be a convenient way to maintain smoother skin with minimal upkeep over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does IPL hair removal hurt?
Most people find IPL hair removal comfortable. You may feel a brief, warm “snap” sensation as the light pulses. Cooling gel and modern devices make treatments gentle and well-tolerated.
How long do results last?
Results vary, but many clients experience noticeable hair reduction after a series of sessions. Occasional maintenance may be recommended to maintain long-term smoothness.
Will IPL hair removal work for me?
IPL can be adjusted for different skin tones and hair colours. Your clinician will determine the safest, most effective settings during consultation.
How should I prepare for my IPL treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and self-tan for two weeks before treatment. Shave the area the night before your session and arrive with clean, product-free skin.
How does IPL compare to shaving or waxing?
Unlike shaving or waxing, which remove hair above the surface, IPL helps reduce regrowth over time by targeting the hair’s pigment at the follicle level.
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Most people benefit from 6 to 10 sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Your results depend on factors like hair colour, skin type, and the treatment area.
Will my hair grow back thicker after IPL?
No, after each session, treated hairs shed naturally within 10–14 days. It may appear as though hair is growing back thicker, but this is part of the normal shedding process.
Who isn’t a good candidate for IPL?
People with very dark skin tones or recent sun exposure should avoid IPL until assessed. It’s also unsuitable for anyone pregnant or using photosensitising medication.
What is the aftercare for IPL?
Keep the skin cool and protected: avoid sun exposure, saunas, and chlorinated water for 48 hours. Apply aloe vera or a soothing gel if needed, and always wear SPF 30 or higher.
Is IPL hair removal safe?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals using medical-grade equipment. Temporary redness or sensitivity is normal and usually subsides within hours.
