FAQs

Will IPL help with razor bumps?
Yes! With each session, hair becomes finer and grows back slower, which helps reduce irritation and razor bumps over time.

How painful is Brazilian IPL hair removal?
At The Laser Studio, we use a specialized cooling system that blows cold air onto the skin during treatment to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, like an elastic band against the skin—and say it’s very tolerable.

How many treatments will I need?
Most clients need between 6–12 sessions for optimal results. The exact number depends on your hair type, skin tone, and how your body responds.

Is the hair removal permanent?
IPL targets and disables active hair follicles, but your body may still produce new hairs due to hormonal changes, health conditions, or certain medications. Maintenance sessions may be needed over time.

Can I wax before my IPL treatment?
If you prefer waxing over shaving, be sure to wax at least 2–4 weeks before your session. This allows time for hair regrowth so the IPL can effectively target the follicles.

How far apart are treatments scheduled?

  • Face: every 4–6 weeks

  • Body: every 6–8 weeks
    Spacing allows hair to move through the correct growth phase for best results.

What should I avoid before an IPL treatment?

  • No sun exposure, tanning beds, or spray tans for 1–2 weeks

  • Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for 2–4 weeks

  • Skip exercise and saunas on the day of your treatment

  • Stop using retinol, exfoliating acids, or active skincare 1–2 weeks prior

What should I avoid after an IPL treatment?

  • Keep the skin cool—no hot showers, workouts, or saunas for 24 hours

  • Avoid sun exposure for 1–2 weeks

  • Hold off on chemical peels, retinol, or strong acids for at least 1–2 weeks
