Muswell Hill Laser Clinic

Long-lasting smoothness, without the constant shaving.

Our IPL Hair Removal treatments use the Skyncare Biocare-Lite system, professional light-based technology designed to achieve long-term reduction of unwanted hair while keeping your treatment as comfortable as possible.

The system delivers controlled light energy which is absorbed by the pigment within the hair. This energy is converted into heat, targeting the hair follicle and reducing its ability to produce new hair.

The Biocare-Lite handpiece also features integrated active skin cooling, helping to keep the skin cool and comfortable throughout treatment.

Over a course of treatments, hair can become finer, softer and noticeably reduced, leaving you with smoother skin and less reliance on shaving or waxing.

​

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a consultation and patch test. We'll assess your skin and hair, discuss your goals and medical history, explain the treatment process and create a plan tailored to you.

For your treatment, the area will be prepared and the Biocare-Lite handpiece passed across the skin, delivering controlled pulses of light to the targeted hair follicles.

Treatment time depends on the area being treated, with smaller areas taking considerably less time than larger body areas.

​

Downtime

Minimal downtime.

You may experience some temporary warmth, redness or sensitivity following treatment, but this generally settles after the appointment. We'll provide you with aftercare advice so you know exactly how to care for your skin between sessions.

​Your Treatment Course

Hair grows in cycles, and IPL is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase. As not every hair reaches this stage at the same time, a course of treatments is required for the best results.

Your recommended number of sessions and the time between appointments will depend on the area being treated and your individual hair-growth pattern.

Maintenance treatments may also be recommended in the future, particularly where hormonal changes influence new hair growth.

​

Before Your Appointment

For the best treatment experience:

• Shave the treatment area as instructed before your appointment
• Avoid waxing, plucking or epilating between treatments
• Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure around your appointments
• Avoid fake tan on the treatment area
• Let us know about any medications, skincare products or changes to your health before treatment
• Follow the personalised preparation instructions given at your consultation

​

After Your Appointment

Following treatment, we'll provide full aftercare guidance. You may be advised to temporarily avoid excessive heat, hot baths or showers, saunas, strenuous exercise and irritating or fragranced products on the treated area.

Protecting treated skin from sun exposure and using appropriate SPF is also important throughout your treatment course.
