IPL Hair Removal in Wellingborough
Tired of constantly shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted hair?
At MP Beauty & Laser, IPL hair reduction is tailored to you following a professional consultation and patch test. Your treatment plan is based on your individual skin and hair characteristics, treatment area and goals.
Enjoy smoother-looking skin and a more convenient approach to unwanted hair.
Why Choose IPL Hair Removal?
IPL can help reduce unwanted hair by delivering controlled pulses of light to the treatment area. The light is absorbed by pigment in the hair, producing heat that can affect the hair follicle.
Because hair grows in different cycles, a course of treatments is normally needed rather than a single session. Your treatment schedule will be discussed during your consultation and adjusted according to your response.
Your treatment is personalised
Professional consultation
Your skin, hair, medical history and treatment goals are assessed before treatment.
Patch test
A patch test is carried out before your first full treatment to help assess your skin's response and suitability.
Personalised settings
Treatment parameters are selected according to your individual characteristics and the treatment area.
Planned treatment course
Sessions are scheduled at appropriate intervals to target hairs during suitable stages of the growth cycle.
Is IPL Hair Removal Right for You?
IPL hair reduction works by targeting pigment within the hair. For this reason, the response can vary depending on your natural hair colour, skin tone and the characteristics of the hair being treated.
IPL generally responds best when there is sufficient contrast between the hair pigment and the surrounding skin.
Very blonde, white, grey or some red hairs may respond poorly because they contain less of the pigment targeted by IPL.
Darker skin tones require particular care because the skin itself contains more pigment. Your suitability will be assessed during consultation, taking into account your skin tone, hair colour, treatment area, medical history and the IPL system being used.
A consultation and patch test are required before your first full treatment.
If IPL is unlikely to be suitable for your hair or skin characteristics, this will be discussed with you honestly before treatment.

How Many IPL Treatments Will I Need?
Hair grows through different stages, and IPL is most effective when the hair is in a suitable active growth stage.
For this reason, a course of treatments is usually recommended rather than a single session.
Your treatment journey may include:
1. Consultation & Patch Test
We assess your suitability, discuss your goals and carry out a patch test before treatment.
2. Your First IPL Treatment
The treatment area is prepared and the IPL is delivered using settings selected for you.
3. Follow-Up Sessions
Further sessions are carried out at appropriate intervals to target hair during different growth cycles.
4. Progress Review
Your response is monitored throughout your course and your treatment plan can be adjusted when appropriate.
Many clients require around 6–8 sessions, but the number of treatments varies between individuals. Hair colour, skin characteristics, treatment area, hormonal factors and individual response can all influence results.
Individual results vary and hair reduction cannot be guaranteed.

How to Prepare for Your IPL Treatment
To help prepare your skin for treatment:
☀️ Avoid tanning Avoid intentional tanning and excessive sun exposure before your treatment. Tell me if the treatment area has recently been exposed to the sun or if you have used a tanning product.
✂️ Shave the area Shave the treatment area approximately 24 hours before your appointment, unless you have been advised otherwise.
🚫 Do not wax or pluck Avoid waxing, tweezing or epilating the treatment area before your session, as the hair needs to remain in the follicle for IPL hair reduction.
🧴 Keep the skin clean On the day of treatment, arrive with the treatment area clean and free from makeup, deodorant, perfume, oils and heavy creams.
💊 Tell me about medications Please let me know about any medication, supplements or topical products you are using before treatment, particularly anything that may affect your skin or sensitivity to light.
📋 Follow your personalised advice If you have been given specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation, please follow those instructions before your appointment.
IPL Hair Removal Aftercare
Your skin may appear slightly red or feel warm after treatment. This usually settles, but reactions can vary between individuals.
For the first 24–48 hours:
- Keep the treated area clean and avoid unnecessary friction.
- Avoid very hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and other sources of excessive heat.
- Avoid strenuous exercise if the treated area feels irritated.
- Do not scrub, exfoliate or use harsh products on the treated area.
- Avoid perfumed products, deodorant or irritating skincare on sensitive treated areas.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing where appropriate.
Protect your skin from the sun
Avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF as advised. Do not deliberately tan the treated area between sessions.
Allow treated hairs to shed naturally
Do not pick, scratch or pull at hairs as they shed following treatment.
If you experience unexpected blistering, significant swelling, severe discomfort or prolonged irritation, please contact me for advice.
