IPL Hair Removal is an advanced long-term hair reduction treatment in Portsmouth designed for clients who are tired of shaving, waxing or dealing with ingrown hairs and unwanted regrowth. Unwanted facial or body hair can affect confidence, daily routines and skin comfort, especially when frequent removal causes irritation, dark shadowing or sensitivity.
Using medical-grade Lynton IPL technology, controlled pulses of light are delivered into the skin to target the pigment within hair follicles. This gradually disrupts hair growth at the root, leading to finer, slower regrowth and smoother, more manageable skin over time.
Performed by experienced Level 4 skin specialists at Skinportant Clinic in Southsea, Portsmouth, this treatment forms part of our advanced skin and aesthetic treatment pathway. Each session is tailored to your hair type, skin tone and treatment area to ensure safe, gradual and natural-looking hair reduction with minimal discomfort.
Book your treatment
Before your first IPL treatment, you’ll have a thorough consultation and patch test. We assess your skin and hair type, discuss your treatment goals and make sure IPL is suitable for you. The patch test allows us to check how your skin responds to the treatment before proceeding with your full session.
Before your IPL treatment begins, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. This removes surface impurities, oils and skincare products, creating a clean surface for the IPL light to work effectively. The treatment area is then carefully assessed to ensure the skin is suitable and ready for treatment.
Once your skin has been prepared, the IPL treatment begins. The device delivers controlled pulses of light to the treatment area, targeting the pigment within the hair follicle. The light is converted into heat, helping to damage the follicle and gradually reduce future hair growth. Treatment settings are adjusted to your individual skin and hair type for safe and effective results.
After your treatment, we provide clear aftercare advice to help protect the skin and support the best possible results. The treated area may appear slightly warm or sensitive immediately afterwards, but this normally settles quickly. As the treated hairs move through their natural growth cycle, they gradually shed, with each session helping to reduce future hair growth.
