How it works
We use carefully adjusted SHR / IPL settings to target pigmented facial hairs while protecting the surrounding skin. Treatments are spaced out to follow the hair growth cycle and keep the skin calm.
Benefits
- Helps reduce shadow and stubble on areas like chin and upper lip.
- Can improve ingrown hairs and irritation from frequent waxing or threading.
- Aims for a finer, softer regrowth pattern over time.
Good for / Not for
- Good for: darker facial hair on lighter skin, especially where other methods are causing irritation or ingrowns.
- Not for: very fair, red or grey hair, hormonal conditions without medical support, or active breakouts in the treatment area.
What to expect
- Appointment time: Approx. 15–30 minutes depending on the areas treated.
- Sensation: Short, warm snaps; we’ll adjust energy and cooling to keep you comfortable.
- Downtime: Mild redness or puffiness, usually settling within a few hours.
Aftercare
- Avoid active skincare (acids, retinoids, scrubs) on the area for 3–5 days.
- Use a gentle cleanser, hydrating products and daily SPF 30+.
Hormonal patterns can mean some hair is more persistent; a course followed by occasional maintenance may be recommended.
