IPL Hair Removal Helsinki

If you’re tired of daily shaving and hair removal methods that leave your skin bumpy and rough, it may be time to consider IPL.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a safe, light-based hair removal treatment that targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. By disrupting the hair growth cycle, it helps prevent regrowth — all without harming the surrounding skin.

The benefits :

1. IPL Hair Removal is quick, easy and painless
2. IPL Hair Removal is completely safe and effective
3. IPL Hair Removal can prevent ingrown hairs
4. IPL Hair Removal reduces your hair regrowth
5. IPL Hair removal works with all skin types
6. IPL Hair Removal has little to no side effects
7. IPL hair removal makes your skin smoother

How does it work?

IPL works on the same principle as laser treatments: the device emits light energy, which is absorbed by the target cells and converted into thermal energy. However, IPL differs from laser technology by using multiple wavelengths of light instead of just one. This method is quick, painless, and operates within wavelengths of 655–1200 nm, which are absorbed by the pigment in the hair and follicle, effectively inhibiting new growth.

The light targets the melanin in the hair, heating the follicle and destroying it. The intensity of the light pulses is carefully calibrated to ensure maximum effectiveness while remaining safe and comfortable. Sit back, relax, and let our trained professionals take care of the desired areas.

IPL technology uses a broader spectrum of light compared to lasers, making it highly effective for hair removal. Its ability to treat larger areas in a single session also makes individual treatments quicker. For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended.

Are there any side effects?

Unwanted skin reactions are extremely rare. Some areas are more sensitive than others, and some people may experience mild redness, swelling or temporary changes in pigmentation. These symptoms can be reduced within a few hours by using an Aloe Vera gel or a Bepanthen cream after the treatment.

How to prepare for IPL treatment?

IPL treatment is always performed on hair that is 1–2 mm in length. The treatment area should be shaved 1–2 days before your appointment, depending on how quickly your hair grows.

Between sessions, avoid mechanical hair removal methods such as waxing, sugaring, or epilation. If you forget to shave 1–2 days before your scheduled appointment, please reschedule for another time.

Do not apply any topical creams to the treated area on the day of your session.

IPL treatment – forever or not?

The result is visible after the first procedure. Hair begins to grow thinner and slower. With each subsequent procedure, the result becomes more noticeable.

Since exposure to light on the hair follicle occurs in the active stage of hair growth, a course of procedures is needed, since all hair follicles have a different cyclicity of renewal.

After a while our body can begin to form new single hair follicles, so to maintain the result it is recommended to take 1-2 procedures every 6-12 months.

Can IPL treatment be used on  sun-tanned skin?

The method can be used safely for all skin types without the risk of burns. A tan skin can thus also be treated, as long as it’s not recently tanned. If you’re planning on intense sunbathing, please abstain from it 7 days before and after the treatment. A sunscreen SPF 50 should always be used.

Can IPL treat tattooed areas?

It is not recommended to use IPL treatment directly on tattooed areas, as it may cause color changes. 

Should IPL treatment be avoided during menstruation?

Yes, IPL treatment can be done during menstruation. However, some individuals may experience increased sensitivity to pain at this time. For those who are highly sensitive, we recommend scheduling appointments 2–3 days before or after menstruation, when sensitivity is usually lower.

Does IPL treatment remove fine hairs?

Unfortunately, IPL treatment cannot remove fine hairs because it requires pigment in the hair, which fine hairs lack. Fine hairs start growing on our bodies during childhood and are not related to hormonal hair growth.

Is IPL treatment on the face safe with dental braces or implants?

Dental braces or implants are not a concern for IPL treatment. The light impulse is absorbed only by the hair follicle and does not penetrate deeper into the skin. This applies to both implanted and removable implants.

Is IPL treatment safe?

Yes, IPL is a safe and proven method for hair removal. Side effects are rare, though some may experience mild, temporary redness. The light only affects the surface layers of the skin and hair follicles – it doesn’t affect deeper systems like nerves or internal organs.

Is IPL treatment suitable for men?

Yes, IPL is suitable for men. You can achieve visible results with just one to two treatments.

How many treatments do I need, and how often should I get them?

It is recommended to have a course of 6 to 10 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, depending on your individual situation. Results always vary from person to person. You can expect to see the first visible results within a couple of weeks after the first IPL treatment session.

PLEASE NOTE , that we require a hair length of 1-2 mm.

Sports and IPL treatment

IPL treatment is very suitable for athletes and fitness enthusiasts due to the practicality of the method. There’s no need to worry about daily shaving, as the treatment keeps the skin soft and smooth for a long time.

IPL is also recommended for people who exercise a lot because shaving can damage the epidermis and cause micro-injuries to the skin. During workouts, sweat combined with sportswear can irritate these micro-injuries, leading to itching, redness, or even infections. For this reason, we warmly recommend IPL treatment to everyone who enjoys an active lifestyle – and of course, to others as well.
