IPL Hair Removal

Before & After Photos

Before and After 1 Treatment

Hair Reduction
In the case of hair reduction melanin is targeted and heated to quarterise the circulation to the hair follicle thus rendering it unable to reproduce. During skin rejuvenation treatments we simulate a controlled trauma, which kick starts the natural healing process within the dermis. This encourages collagen synthesis and fibroblastic activity, whilst increasing natural moisture factors for a non-ablative antiaging treatment.

Broken capillaries and rosacea
Rosacea is controlled by minimising broken capillaries and strengthening dermal structures to support healthy vessels, thus prevent future breakage and the associated redness. The haemoglobin in broken capillaries is targeted to cause coagulation, which encourages the body to reabsorb the unwanted thread vein, naturally and safely.

Hyperpigmentation/ sun damage
When hyper pigmentation is targeted, excess melanin is shattered and dispersed via subsequent mild skin shedding, revealing a brighter, more even skin tone. Increased skin cell production post treatment can support the ongoing rejuvenation of the skin for up to 6 weeks.

Acne
IPL targets porphyrins (naturally occurring molecules found in inflamed acne,) this leads to a reaction where by, the Propioni bacteria or P. bacteria’s are selectively destroyed.  P. bacterias are known to be the main cause of inflammation in acne sufferers. IPL Treatments will also reduce the size of sebaceous glands, controlling the quantity of sebum (oil) produced.

FAQs

Here are some FAQs…

1. Who can I treat?
   The Dermalite IPL works well on both men and women. All areas can be treated including facial hair, bikini line, legs, back and chest. It is suitable for most skin colours, except very dark and it is not suitable for light blonde, red and grey hairs for hair removal.  If you want to treat these hair colours, then please look at our electrolysis range.
2. How much shall I charge for each area?
   This is based on competition in your area, you don’t have to be the cheapest to compete as the Silhouette machine has proven results so you will be offering one of the most effective treatments available.
   As a guideline you would charge £300 for a full leg and bikini or £60 for an underarm hair removal treatment.
3. Is the treatment painful?
   No!  With the technology of the cooling head which immediately delivers a shot of ice, your clients will be amazed how painless the treatment is. Some people might find it slightly uncomfortable, but the treatment can be adjusted for them. Some machines have 2 heads, one for delivering the light shot and one for the cold. Apart from being cumbersome, the cold shot is not delivered fast enough to eliminate any discomfort.
4. Can I treat thread veins?
   Yes, the machine is excellent at eliminating thread veins/broken capillaries and you should see an improvement after 1 treatment, but 2 or 3 may be needed for maximum clearance.
5. Will I be fully trained?
   We include a 2 day training course free of charge with the IPL and this is called manufacturers training.  All modules will be covered and after this there is direct access to your trainer or to our head office should you have any questions.
6.  How often should I get my machine serviced?
   We recommend your IPL machine is serviced every 12 months to ensure maximum performance and safety.
7. What if my machine is not working?
   We have a team of skilled engineers who work with our machines and repair many other manufacturers.  With 48 years of beauty industry technology behind us you can be assured that our machines are reliable and built to last. Any problems please call 0161 980 1080 and it will no doubt be something we can help you with over the phone or resolve in 24 hours at most.
8. How much does it cost for a new IPL flash Bulb?
   It’s approximately 1p per shot and each bulb has 60,000 pulses of light, which is a huge amount compared to many other models on the market.
9. Do I have to register with my local authority/council?
   Only some areas require you to register with them. A quick call to your local council (usually environmental health) will inform you on any regulations.
10. How can I market?
    Host an exciting IPL launch evening for existing customers and friends. Recommendations from friends and acquaintances always proves to be useful. Post training you will gain access to our marketing library and resources. Offer discounts for any client booking a course of 6 to 10 or do an   offer of pay for 6 sessions and receive one free.  Alternatively offer discount if more than one area treated (e.g. full leg and bikini).  This can be a limited time offer to get your new machine up and running. Take photos (with permission) after each session so both you and your client can see the results and ask if you can use these to show to future customers.
