time as a wax treatment for the same area. The first v<strong>is</strong>it will be around<br />
30 minutes to perform as we need to do a patch test and ask you some<br />
questions.<br />
Why do I have to have many <strong>IPL</strong> treatments for hair reduction?<br />
<strong>IPL</strong> targets the hair compound called melanin, th<strong>is</strong> give hair the colour<br />
(pigmentation). Melanin <strong>is</strong> most prevalent in hair during the earlyanagen<br />
phase of hair growth, and hairs in th<strong>is</strong> stage of growth are the<br />
ones most responsive to Intense Pulsed Light. Ongoing treatments are<br />
needed to catch each hair as it passes through th<strong>is</strong> early-anagen stage<br />
of development that may result due to hormonal fluctuations throughout<br />
your lifetime.

<strong>IPL</strong> FAQ’S<br />
Why are Laser/<strong>IPL</strong> treatments costly?<br />
The simple reason for th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> the high acqu<strong>is</strong>ition cost of machines and<br />
their maintenance. Also, the materials used during these treatments are<br />
very costly. However, when you consider the cost of waxing over the<br />
years, in addition to the time it takes out of your busy day – the benefits<br />
outweigh the initial upfront cost.<br />
Will I have to come back for repeat skin rejuvenation treatments?<br />
In relation to pigmentation – If you have skin that <strong>is</strong> easily sun-damaged<br />
(freckled) and pre-caution <strong>is</strong> not taken to protect your skin, by using<br />
sunscreen daily, in addition to a Vitamin c Serum to inhibit melanin from<br />
developing, it <strong>is</strong> likely you will need “top-up” treatments.

<strong>IPL</strong> FAQ’S<br />
In relation to vascular lesions – It will depend what the trigger was. In<br />
some cases, you may only require a few treatments and no follow up,<br />
on the other hand, skin conditions such as Rosacea, will need on-going<br />
maintenance and home care for the best possible results.<br />
<strong>What</strong> areas of the body can be treated?<br />
Generally any part of the body can be treated. Exceptions include areas<br />
in close proximity to the eyes, the inner ear and nose.<br />
The most popular areas for hair removal are the underarms, bikini,<br />
upper lip, chin, face, legs, back & chest.<br />
