Based in Nottingham and welcoming patients from across the region — including Mansfield, Derby, and Leicester — our clinic combines medical expertise with a warm, patient-centred approach. Our IPL treatments are delivered by an experienced aesthetician under the supervision of our doctor-led team, so you can feel confident you’re in expert hands.
How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. During treatment, pulses of broad-spectrum light are directed at the skin and absorbed by the melanin (pigment) within each hair follicle. The light energy converts to heat, which disables the follicle and inhibits future hair growth — all without the handset ever coming into contact with your skin.
The result is a significant, long-lasting reduction in hair growth. It’s worth understanding that IPL provides permanent hair reduction, not permanent removal — some regrowth is possible over time, though it is typically finer and lighter than before. Because hair grows in natural cycles, not every follicle is active at the same time, which is why a course of treatments gives the best, most consistent results. Many patients notice a visible difference from their very first session.
Treatment Areas
IPL hair removal is suitable for both the face and body. Common treatment areas include:
Face — upper lip, chin, cheeks, and full face
Underarms — a quick, popular area with fast results
Bikini line — including extended and full bikini
Legs — lower, upper, or full legs

What to Expect
Your IPL journey at Park Private Clinic begins with a free consultation with one of experienced team members. She will assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals, and ensure IPL is the right choice for you before any treatment begins.
The treatment itself is quick and virtually painless — most patients describe a mild warm sensation, similar to a light flick. The handset does not contact the skin, which keeps the experience comfortable and hygienic. Sessions are often completed in a matter of minutes for smaller areas, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Following your treatment, you may notice some minor redness that typically settles within a few hours. Shawana will walk you through your aftercare guidance and advise you on the recommended number of sessions for your individual needs.
Please note: A 48-hour cancellation policy applies to all appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person, depending on your hair colour, skin tone, and the area being treated. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to catch each follicle during its active growth phase. Our therapist will give you a personalised recommendation during your free consultation, but most patients see excellent results after a course of sessions.
Does IPL hair removal hurt?
IPL is considered quick and virtually painless. Most patients feel a gentle warmth or a very mild sensation during treatment. Because the handset does not contact the skin, there is no discomfort from pressure or friction. Many people find it far more comfortable than traditional methods such as waxing.
Is IPL hair removal permanent?
IPL provides permanent hair reduction — meaning it significantly reduces the amount and density of hair over time. It does not guarantee that every single hair will never return, but regrowth is typically finer and much sparser. Periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to maintain your results.
Who is suitable for IPL hair removal?
IPL works by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, so it tends to work best on those with lighter skin tones and darker hair. It may be less effective on very light, blonde, grey, or red hair. Your suitability will be thoroughly assessed during your free consultation. If IPL is not the right option for you, our team will advise you honestly.
What should I do before my treatment?
Full pre-treatment guidance will be provided at your consultation. As a general rule, you should avoid waxing, threading, or plucking the area in the weeks before treatment (shaving is fine, as the root needs to be intact). You should also avoid sun exposure and tanning products on the treatment area beforehand. Always follow the specific advice given to you by your practitioner.
