A quick guide. Your therapist confirms what suits your skin and hair.
| Waxing | SHR/IPL hair reduction | |
|---|---|---|
| Hair colour | All colours, including blonde, grey and red | Best on darker hair. Blonde, grey, white and red hair respond poorly |
| Skin tone | Suits most skin | Best on lighter, untanned skin. Checked at your consultation |
| How it works | Removes hair from the root | Light energy reduces regrowth over a course |
| Visits | Every 3 to 6 weeks, ongoing | A course of sessions |
| Cost over time | Pay as you go | Higher upfront, less ongoing |
| Between visits | Let hair grow to about half a centimetre | Shave only. No waxing or plucking during a course |
| Commitment | None | A planned course |
Many clients use both
Waxing now, IPL later
Keep waxing while you decide. When your course starts, you switch to shaving between sessions.
Different areas, different methods
Fine or light hair in one area may suit waxing, while darker hair elsewhere suits IPL. Your therapist can plan both.
Not suited to IPL?
Waxing works on every hair colour and most skin types, with no course to commit to.
Not sure which suits you?
Book a hair removal consultation. We look at your skin and hair, do a patch test if IPL is an option, and explain the cost of each. The IPL patch test is free. For a full treatment pathway, book an SHR/IPL Skin Consult ($99).
Questions
Which is better, waxing or IPL?
Neither is better for everyone. Waxing suits every hair colour and needs no commitment. IPL suits darker hair and reduces regrowth over a course.
Can I switch from waxing to IPL?
Yes. Keep waxing until your course starts, then shave between sessions, because the light needs the hair root in place.
Does IPL work on blonde or grey hair?
Usually not well, because IPL needs pigment in the hair. Waxing is the better choice for lighter hair.
Is IPL permanent?
It is long-term hair reduction rather than permanent removal. Occasional top-up sessions are normal.
