What is IPL Hair Removal?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Rather than simply removing hairs, our IPL treatment targets the hair follicle with controlled light energy, helping to reduce hair regrowth, improve texture and support skin renewal over time. Because we view hair removal within the broader context of skin health, our approach emphasises comfort, safety and long-term maintenance.
