How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. During treatment, pulses of broad-spectrum light are directed at the skin and absorbed by the melanin within each hair follicle. The light energy converts to heat, which disables the follicle and inhibits future hair growth — all without the handset ever making contact with your skin.
The result is a significant, long-lasting reduction in hair growth. It is important to understand that IPL provides permanent hair reduction rather than permanent removal — some regrowth is possible over time, though it is typically finer and lighter than before. Because hair grows in natural cycles, not every follicle is active at the same time, which is why a course of treatments delivers the most consistent, comprehensive results. Many clients notice a visible difference from their very first session.

IPL Hair Removal – Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person, depending on your hair colour, skin tone, and the area being treated. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to catch each follicle during its active growth phase. Your clinician will give you a personalised recommendation during your free consultation, but most clients see excellent results after a course of sessions.
Does IPL hair removal hurt?
IPL is considered quick and virtually painless. Most clients feel a gentle warmth or a very mild sensation during treatment. Because the handset does not contact the skin, there is no discomfort from pressure or friction. Many people find it far more comfortable than traditional hair removal methods such as waxing.
Is IPL hair removal permanent?
IPL provides permanent hair reduction — meaning it significantly reduces the amount and density of hair over time. It does not guarantee that every single hair will never return, but any regrowth is typically finer and much sparser. Periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to maintain your results long term.
Who is suitable for IPL hair removal?
IPL works by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, so it tends to be most effective on those with lighter skin tones and darker hair. It may be less effective on very light, blonde, grey, or red hair. Your suitability will be thoroughly assessed during your free consultation. If IPL is not the right option for you, our team will advise you honestly and suggest a more suitable alternative.
What should I do before my treatment?
Full pre-treatment guidance will be provided at your consultation. As a general rule, you should avoid waxing, threading, or plucking the treatment area in the weeks prior to your session — shaving is fine, as the root needs to remain intact. You should also avoid sun exposure and tanning products on the treatment area beforehand. Always follow the specific advice given to you by your practitioner.
Treatment Areas
IPL hair removal is suitable for both the face and body. Common treatment areas include:
- Face — upper lip, chin, cheeks, and full face
- Underarms — a quick, popular area with fast results
- Bikini line — including extended and full bikini
- Legs — lower, upper, or full legs
- Shoulders and décolletage
- Hands

What to Expect
Your IPL journey at Park Skin Clinic begins with a free consultation with one of our experienced team members. They will assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals, and ensure IPL is the right choice for you before any treatment begins.
The treatment itself is quick and virtually painless — most clients describe a mild warm sensation, similar to a gentle flick. Because the handset does not contact the skin, the experience remains comfortable and hygienic throughout. Sessions for smaller areas are often completed in a matter of minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Following your treatment, you may notice some minor redness that typically settles within a few hours. Your practitioner will walk you through aftercare guidance and advise on the recommended number of sessions for your individual needs.
