What is Epilight IPL hair removal?
It is a non invasive light therapy treatment specifically designed to offer approximately 85% permanent hair removal from all parts of the body.
The Epilight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) system uses light in the visible spectrum (white light). We do not use infrared or ultra-violet light. Our systems mean that we can change the intensity and colour of the light for each person. So your treatment will be designed especially for your skin type and hair colour - a personalised hair removal treatment.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart ..to you Diane and your wonderful assistant. I’m finally hair free, best money ever spent.”
How does Epilight IPL remove hair?
It generates intense pulsed light that safely heats and disables hair follicles causing the destruction of the cells which allow the hair to grow.
Can all hair colours and all parts of the body be treated?
Epilight’s unique IPL design enables it to provide customised treatment that can safely remove unwanted hair from all parts of the body apart from grey or white hairs. (The only way to treat grey or white hairs permanently is with electrolysis and this must be carried out by an expert to give fast and effective results).
What is the treatment like?
When the Epilight is used there may be a mild sting, like a rubber band flicked onto the skin. No local anaesthetic or pain medication is needed. Getting to the source of the problem, the hair follicle, solves your unwanted hair problem.
“I arrived at your clinic very distressed , embarrassed and upset about my problem. I spoke with Janice who was so sympathetic, kind and reassuring. I felt a huge sigh of relief speaking about my problem at long last after many years of trying to conceal it. Janice began treatment on the area and I have never looked back. I have regained my confidence and feel a happier person. I just wish that I had started Epilight treatment sooner.”
How many treatments are required?
This varies depending on the hair colour, texture and location on the body. Usually six treatments will be needed, once every 6 weeks, for the upper lip, or once every 3 months for the torso, or once every 4-6 months for forearms. Each Epilight IPL treatment lasts 10 to 30 minutes.
Are there any side effects?
Short term side effects may include a reddening of the skin which lasts a few days. In rare instances there may be some blistering. But our customers say it is well worth this small inconvenience to get rid of their unwanted hair.
Are there restrictions on my activities after Epilight IPL treatment?
No. You can return to work immediately but should avoid exposure of the treated area to the sun, which is always a good idea.
How is Epilight hair removal different to laser hair removal?
It is a non invasive treatment which by using different filters and pulses makes it very flexible in customising the settings required for each individual. This enables the heat to destroy even deep rooted hair. This treatment is also safe and effective for Asian and darker skin colouring. We have worked with many Asian clients and have a lot of experience in this area. The Epilight IPL hair removal system is also suitable for black skin.
The young Asian woman in the picture above, who suffers from PCOS, has had 6 Epilight IPL hair removal treatments, 10 weeks apart.
How much does Epilight cost?
This is usually the first question people ask when making an enquiry. Our first questions are:-
- Which part of the body would you like to have treated?
- Is the hair coarse or fine? (Coarser hairs respond more effectively with Epilight, finer hairs with Spa touch)
- Is the hair dark or light in colour? (Lighter colour hairs may need more treatments)
- Is the hair dense or sparse (if only sparse, then maybe electrolysis will be a more cost effective alternative).
- Is any of the hair to be treated grey or white? (In which case only electrolysis will clear these hairs so maybe more than one method of treatment is required in a specific area - both can be done in one area but not on the same day).
A consultation is carried out free of charge to establish whether you are a possible candidate for treatment (some people cannot proceed with treatment at all, for example if you suffer from keloid scarring or certain other medical conditions such as problems that cause skin sensitivity). During consultation we will try to establish the reason for the hairgrowth (i.e. medical polycystic ovaries, or thyroid or other conditions, or cosmetic reasons) and discuss your expectation of the result of the treatments. For example, some medications can cause hairgrowth, some medications can decrease hairgrowth.
At the consultation we also assess the area to be treated and discuss price of treatments for that area, after deciding which treatment (if any) to progress with. Our prices are by no means the cheapest, and certainly more expensive than laser hair removal, but we work on the quality of treatment and service and we ask you to return to us within a certain amount of time (free of charge) for us to make sure that the treatment has been totally as we expect and as was explained to you during consultation. We are also now registered with the Healthcare Commission.
Call the Diane Matthews Clinic on 01708 727 239. We will then set up an initial consultation with one of our dedicated hair removal specialists. This consultation is valued at £35 but you’ll get this FREE. At this consultation your individual requirements will be assessed with complete sympathy and confidentiality
