Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Glutes IPL.

Most clients need six to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for significant permanent hair reduction. Exact number depends on hair color, thickness, and skin type; a consultation and patch test estimate your personalized plan.

Most clients feel mild, brief sensations like a light snap. We use cooling and adjustable settings to minimize discomfort. Mild redness or warmth can occur but typically subsides within hours; proper aftercare further reduces sensitivity.

IPL works best on darker hair and lighter skin due to contrast. Advanced IPL systems and experienced technicians can treat a broader range of tones, but very light blond, red, or gray hairs may respond poorly. Consultation determines suitability and options.

Avoid tanning and sun exposure for at least two weeks, do not wax or pluck hair, and shave the area 24 hours before your session. Inform us of medications and skin conditions. These steps optimize safety and treatment effectiveness.

Downtime is minimal; you can resume normal activities immediately. Expect mild redness or warmth for a few hours, and treated hairs shed over two to four weeks. Visible reduction appears after several sessions; full results develop across the treatment course.

IPL is not recommended during pregnancy, for active skin infections, or for clients on photosensitizing medications. Recent tanning or certain medical conditions may disqualify you. A medical history review and consultation determine eligibility and safe timing for treatment.
