Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Arms IPL.

Most clients need six to ten treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart. Hair growth cycles and hair color affect results, so technicians assess progress and adjust timing to maximize permanent reduction and minimize missed follicles.

Most clients describe mild snapping or warmth; we use cooling gels and adjustable settings to minimize discomfort. No anesthesia is needed, though topical numbing cream is available on request for extra-sensitive clients.

You'll notice hair thinning and patchy shedding after the first two to three sessions. Significant smoothness appears after multiple treatments; final results emerge over months as treated follicles become inactive and hair regrowth diminishes permanently.

Modern IPL devices and experienced technicians can treat many darker skin tones using lower energy settings and cooling. However, recent tanning increases risk; we recommend avoiding sun exposure and booking a consultation to confirm suitability and safe parameter selection.

Before treatment, avoid tanning and pluck-free for weeks; shave the area 24 hours prior. After sessions, apply sunscreen, avoid hot baths, and use gentle moisturizers. Follow technician instructions to reduce irritation and protect treated skin for optimal results.

IPL works best on darker, coarser hair; light or fine hairs may respond less predictably. Multiple sessions can reduce fine hair, but permanent removal might be limited; we offer consults to evaluate hair color and realistic expectations.
