Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart to reach optimal hair reduction. Hair growth cycles and skin/hair type affect results; maintenance sessions once or twice yearly may be recommended to sustain smooth legs.

Most clients experience a mild snapping or warm sensation, usually tolerable without anaesthetic. We use cooling and adjustable settings to minimize discomfort. Discuss sensitivity with the clinician and we will adapt treatment to keep you comfortable throughout.

Yes — the Large Lower Mid package lets you select either upper legs (thighs) or lower legs (calves and shins). Your clinician will confirm area coverage and tailor settings to hair density and skin tone for best outcomes.

Ideal candidates have darker hair and lighter skin tones for best IPL absorption, but our clinic assesses all skin types and may adjust parameters. Avoid treatment if pregnant, recently tanned, or using photosensitizing medications—discuss suitability at consultation.

Shave the chosen area about 24 hours before your session and avoid waxing, plucking, or bleaching for four to six weeks. Minimize sun exposure and tanning products beforehand; inform staff of medications or recent skin treatments.

Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and sunscreen SPF30+ on treated areas. Avoid hot baths, intense exercise, and direct sun for 48–72 hours. Mild redness or sensitivity is normal; contact us if you notice blistering or prolonged irritation.
