IPL Hair Removal
Say goodbye to shaving, waxing and ingrown hairs.
The Ellipse SPT+ IPL system emits carefully controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy travels to the hair follicle, gently heating and disabling it, reducing future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Benefits
- Lasting hair reduction
- Suitable for face and body
- Smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs
- Fast and comfortable treatments
- Minimal downtime
A course of treatments is recommended to achieve the best lasting results, as hair grows in different cycles.
Preparing for your treatment
- A series of sessions, typically 3 to 6, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart, is recommended for best results.
- Do not sunbathe, use a solarium or apply fake tan for 30 days before treatment.
- Avoid waxing, plucking or using depilatory creams for 4 weeks before your appointment, as the hair follicles need to remain intact.
- Shave the treatment area either the day before or right before your treatment, so the light can target the root beneath the skin without affecting surface hair.
- IPL works best on lighter skin tones with darker hair. Blond, grey or red hair is less responsive.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
Restore a brighter, healthier looking complexion without surgery or lengthy recovery.
Ellipse SPT+ Skin Rejuvenation uses precisely controlled light energy to stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process. The treatment encourages collagen production while targeting unwanted pigmentation and visible blood vessels.
What it improves
- Sun damage
- Red veins
- Age spots and pigmentation
- Redness and rosacea
- Freckles
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines
- Overall skin texture and radiance
Over time, your skin appears smoother, clearer, firmer and more youthful. Many clients also notice a reduction in breakouts and an improvement in overall skin clarity following a course of treatments. IPL can help with inflammatory acne by targeting the bacteria that cause acne, as well as redness, while also improving the pigmentation acne can leave behind.
Preparing for your treatment
- No sun tanning, fake tan or solarium use for 30 days before treatment.
- Wear SPF 30 or 50 daily.
- Please do not smoke for 4 hours before treatment, as this can cause restriction in the blood vessels.
- Avoid waxing, plucking or aggressive exfoliation in the area before treatment.
Is IPL the same as laser hair removal?
A question we are asked often, and the honest answer is no, although the two are closely related.
Many people searching for laser hair removal in West Drayton are looking for exactly this kind of treatment, so it is worth explaining the difference clearly.
A laser produces a single, tightly focused wavelength of light. IPL (intense pulsed light) uses a broad spectrum of light, filtered so that only the useful wavelengths reach your skin. The Ellipse SPT+ takes that further with Dual Wave Technology, delivering two carefully chosen wavelengths in every pulse rather than one.
In practice both work in the same way. Light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, travels down to the follicle and heats it, reducing future growth. Because IPL covers a wider area with each pulse, sessions are often quicker than laser, and the Ellipse filtering means the light is closely matched to what is being treated.
So if you have been searching for laser hair removal locally, IPL is very likely the treatment you have in mind. We are always happy to talk you through which is right for you at your free consultation, with no obligation to book.
Prices & Packages
Every course begins with a full consultation and patch test, booked separately and free of charge.
Courses of 3 and 6 sessions are offered at a reduced rate because IPL works with the hair growth cycle. A course, rather than a single session, is what delivers lasting results.

Common questions about IPL
Does IPL hurt?
Most clients describe it as a warm flick against the skin rather than pain. The Ellipse SPT+ has advanced cooling built in, which makes treatment noticeably more comfortable than older systems. Sensitive areas such as the upper lip can feel sharper, but each pulse lasts only a fraction of a second.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles and IPL only affects hairs in the active growth phase, which is why a course works and a single session does not. Your exact number depends on the area, your hair colour and your skin tone, and will be confirmed at your consultation.
Is IPL hair removal permanent?
IPL gives long lasting hair reduction rather than permanent removal. After a full course most clients see a significant, lasting reduction in growth, with remaining hair finer and lighter. Occasional top up sessions keep the results looking their best.
Will IPL work on my skin tone and hair colour?
IPL works best on lighter skin tones with darker hair, because it targets the pigment in the hair. Blond, grey and red hair contain very little pigment and respond poorly. If you have a deeper skin tone we will assess suitability carefully at your consultation and patch test.
Do I need a patch test?
Yes. A consultation and patch test are carried out before your first treatment, and both are free of charge. The patch test checks how your skin responds and lets us set the machine correctly for you.
