How does laser hair removal work?

Less hair. Less shaving. Less hassle.

1. Light targets the hair follicle

Our professional Lynton EXCELIGHT IPL Laser system delivers pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair.

2. Light energy converts into heat

The absorbed light generates heat, which damages the structures responsible for hair growth, helping to reduce future hair production.

3. Hair growth gradually reduces

As you progress through your course, you should notice unwanted hair becoming finer, sparser and slower to grow back, meaning less time spent shaving and less need for constant maintenance.

Why we use Lynton lasers IPL hair removal?

We don't compromise on the technology we use

Your results aren't just about the person delivering your treatment.

The technology matters too.

IPL Hair Removal

No obligation. No pressure. Just expert advice about whether IPL hair removal is right for you.

Book My Consultation

Before you book IPL, there are a few things you NEED to know

You cannot have a tan

This includes recent sun exposure, sunbeds and fake tan.

IPL targets pigment within the hair follicle. Having increased pigment in the skin can affect how the light is absorbed and may increase the risk of an adverse reaction.

So if you're a dedicated sunbed user, regularly use fake tan or have a winter sun holiday coming up, IPL may not fit easily into your lifestyle.

We'll discuss this honestly at your consultation.

IPL doesn't work effectively on every hair colour

IPL relies on pigment in the hair to absorb the light energy.

That means very blonde, grey, white and some red hairs may not respond effectively.

You need to shave but not wax or tweeze

Shaving leaves the hair within the follicle for IPL to target.

Waxing and tweezing remove the hair from the follicle, which means there may be little for the IPL energy to target.

For your consultation, please leave the hair visible and unshaven.

It's a course, not a one-off treatment

Hair grows in cycles.

IPL is most effective when hairs are in the appropriate growth phase, which is why treatments need to be repeated at carefully planned intervals.

You may notice a reduction in growth after your first few treatments, but your final results develop progressively throughout your course.

Results vary

We will never promise you an identical result to somebody else's before-and-after photograph.

Your outcome depends on factors including skin type, hair colour, hair thickness, treatment area, hormones and hair-growth cycle.

That's why your consultation comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at hello@skin-sanctuary.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Is IPL hair removal the same as laser hair removal?

No - IPL and laser are different technologies. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, whereas laser hair removal uses a specific wavelength of laser light. Both can be used for long-term hair reduction, but the technology, treatment parameters and suitability differ. At Skin Sanctuary, we use professional IPL technology from Lynton for our hair-reduction treatments.

Is IPL hair removal permanent?

A successful course can significantly reduce hair growth with remaining hairs often becoming finer and lighter. Some clients may require maintenance treatments over time.

How many IPL treatments will I need?

We recommend a minimum of 6 treatments for most clients. However, the number varies depending on the treatment area, hair characteristics, skin type and individual response. Some people require additional sessions. We'll give you a realistic recommendation at your consultation.

How far apart are IPL treatments?

Treatment intervals depend on the area being treated and the hair-growth cycle. We'll advise you on the appropriate timing for your individual treatment plan.

Does IPL hair removal hurt?

Most clients describe IPL as feeling like a quick warm snap or flick against the skin. Everyone's sensitivity is different, and the sensation can vary depending on the treatment area, hair density and individual tolerance. We'll explain exactly what to expect before your first treatment.

Can I shave between IPL treatments?

Yes.

In fact, shaving is the preferred method of hair removal between treatments. Avoid waxing, threading, epilating or tweezing because these remove the hair from the follicle that IPL needs to target.

Can I have IPL if I have fake tan?

Not while the tan is present.

Your skin needs to be free from fake tan before treatment. We'll explain the required preparation at your consultation.

Can I have IPL if I'm going on holiday?

Potentially, but timing matters.

Sun exposure and tanning can affect your suitability for treatment, so please tell us about any upcoming holidays or significant sun exposure when booking your consultation. If you're planning a winter sun holiday, book your consultation before you go so we can discuss your options.

What should I do before my consultation?

Please don't shave the treatment area immediately before your consultation.

We need to see the hair so that we can properly assess its colour, thickness and suitability.
