What Is IPL Laser Hair Removal?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal is a popular, non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to reduce unwanted hair. Unlike traditional shaving or waxing, IPL targets the pigment in hair follicles, gradually reducing hair growth over a series of sessions. The result is smoother skin and long-lasting hair reduction.

At SJM Rejuvenate, we use professional-grade IPL technology that’s suitable for a wide range of skin types and areas. It’s quick, effective, and ideal for those seeking a more permanent solution to hair removal without the irritation of daily shaving or frequent waxing.

What Is the Treatment Suitable For?

IPL is suitable for both men and women looking to reduce hair growth on areas such as:

• Face (upper lip, chin, jawline)

• Legs and arms

• Underarms

• Bikini and Brazilian areas

• Chest, back, or shoulders

IPL is most effective on darker hair and lighter skin, but newer devices are improving outcomes for more diverse skin tones. It’s perfect for anyone tired of the discomfort, cost, or inconvenience of traditional hair removal methods.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your visit will begin with a consultation and patch test to ensure IPL is suitable for your skin type. During the treatment, a handheld device delivers controlled pulses of light to the hair follicles. Most people describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warmth—comfortable and quick.

Each session lasts between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. After the treatment, you may have slight redness, but this usually fades within a few hours.

How Often Should You Book?

Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to catch each hair at its optimal stage. Most clients benefit from:

• A course of 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart

• Occasional top-up treatments for maintenance

• A personalised plan tailored to your goals and hair type

Results improve over time, with hair growing back finer and more slowly after each session.

Supporting Your Results After Treatment

To protect your skin and maintain results, we recommend:

• Avoiding sun exposure and applying SPF to treated areas

• Refraining from waxing or plucking between sessions (shaving is fine)

• Avoiding hot baths, saunas, and high-intensity workouts for 24–48 hours

• Using soothing gels or creams if any redness occurs

• Following any specific aftercare provided by your practitioner

Our team will walk you through all post-treatment steps to ensure your skin heals beautifully.

How Do You Benefit From This Treatment?

IPL hair removal offers numerous benefits that make it a client favourite:

• Long-lasting hair reduction for smooth skin

• No more ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or irritation

• Safe and efficient for large or small areas

• Saves time and money over waxing or shaving

• Boosts skin confidence, even without makeup or covering up

It’s a fantastic option for those looking to simplify their beauty routine and enjoy long-term results with minimal discomfort.
