So, why is Winter perfect for your IPL treatments? It’s important to avoid as much sun exposure as possible, so Winter is the best time to get your IPL sessions started as ideally your skin needs to be free of any tan. Our Anthelia IPL machine is able to work on darker skin tones and lighter hair colours, but the treatment is most effective when the skin is at its fairest - in Winter! It’s strongly suggested that the treatment area stay out of the sun afterwards as well, so the perk of winter is that we have none! IPL works by using high-intensity pulses of visible light to improve the appearance of the skin, treat specific skin concerns and remove hair. It targets the lower layers of skin (dermis) without affecting the top layers of skin (epidermis). This provides a non-invasive treatment that is the perfect choice for treating all forms of sun damage, pigmentation, broken capillaries, ageing skin concerns and, of course, for your hair removal needs. IPL targets the colour/melanin in the skin, so it just makes it easier for the light to target the hair follicles if the surrounding skin colour is easily distinguishable from the hair. No tan = better results. For the average client, we expect to see results between 6-8 sessions on IPL which is followed by maintenance sessions every 6 - 12 months or so. It’s always best to get started in the Winter, so book in for your consultation now and take advantage of our 25% discount on bundles of 4 treatments.
