How to Prepare for Your IPL Hair Removal Treatment
* Avoid Sun & Tanning: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds or self-tanners for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Always use SPF 30+.
* No Plucking or Waxing: Do not wax, tweeze, or use epilators for 4 weeks prior. The hair root must be intact for the IPL to work.
* Shave 24 Hours Before: Use a standard razor to shave the treatment area the day before your appointment. Do not arrive with long hair.
* Stop Actives: Discontinue retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and chemical peels 5–7 days before your session to prevent skin sensitivity.
* Clean Skin: Arrive with skin free of makeup, lotions, deodorants, or oils in the area being treated.
* Check Medications: Inform your therapist of any medications (especially light-sensitizing ones) or herbal supplements you are taking.
* Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and avoid excessive caffeine on the day of your treatment to minimize skin sensitivity.
* Wear Loose Clothing: Opt for comfortable, loose-fitting clothes to avoid irritating the skin after your session.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
What is IPL Hair Removal and how does it work?
IPL uses broad-spectrum light that targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The light converts to heat, damaging the follicle to prevent future hair growth without harming the surrounding skin.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a light flick of a rubber band. It is generally much more comfortable than waxing. We prioritize your comfort and can adjust settings to suit your skin sensitivity.
How many sessions will I need?
Hair grows in different cycles, so multiple sessions are required to catch every hair in its active growth phase. Most clients see optimal results after 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Can IPL be used on all skin and hair types?
IPL works best on dark hair and fair-to-medium skin tones. It is less effective on very light (blonde, grey, or red) hair or very dark skin. We offer a full consultation to determine if IPL is the right match for you.
Is there any downtime after the session?
There is zero downtime! You might experience slight redness, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within 24 hours. You can return to your daily activities immediately, following our aftercare advice.
How should I prepare for my first appointment?
You must shave the treatment area 24 hours before your visit. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and plucking/waxing for at least 2–4 weeks prior to ensure the best results.

Aftercare Tips for Laser Treatment!
* Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to the treated area.
* Keep it Cool: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous exercise for 48 hours, as additional heat can cause irritation.
* Be Gentle: Do not scrub or rub the treated area. Pat your skin dry gently with a soft towel and wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid friction.
* Skip the Actives: Avoid using retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, or physical exfoliants for at least 7 days to let the skin heal.
* Hands Off: If you notice minor crusting or "peppering" (burnt hairs rising to the surface), do not pick or scratch them; let them shed naturally to avoid scarring.
* Products to Avoid: Do not apply makeup, perfumed lotions, or deodorants to the treated area for 24–48 hours.
* Hydrate: Apply a soothing, fragrance-free Aloe Vera gel or moisturizer to calm any temporary redness or swelling.
* Monitor Your Skin: Mild redness is normal. If you experience unexpected blistering or prolonged irritation, contact Mirka Peronska Beauty and Laser Ltd immediately.
