We use IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology for permanent hair reduction, which offers several advantages over traditional laser hair removal methods. IPL is known for its ability to treat larger areas quickly and with minimal discomfort. Our clients often report a significant reduction in pain during sessions compared to conventional laser treatments.

In addition, IPL is a more cost-effective solution over time, making it an excellent choice for those seeking long-term hair removal without the higher costs often associated with traditional lasers. IPL is effective for a variety of skin and hair types and requires minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your routine with ease.

Hair removal prices range from $75–95 for small areas, $120–175 for medium areas, and

$250–350 for large areas per session. We offer 15–20% discounts on packages of 3 or more.

The number of hair removal sessions needed to achieve long-lasting, permanent hair reduction varies from person to person. On average, most clients see significant results after 6 to 8 sessions, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart.

This is because hair grows in cycles, and IPL is most effective during the active growth phase (anagen). Multiple sessions are required to target each hair during this optimal stage. Factors that can influence the total number of sessions include your hair colour, skin type, treatment area, and how your body responds to IPL.

At Vanity Touch in Edmonton, we tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs and goals. Our IPL technology is not only effective but also more comfortable and cost-efficient than many traditional laser options. Over time, you’ll notice finer regrowth, slower hair return, and eventually, smooth, hair-free skin with minimal maintenance.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to target and disable hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time. It's a safe and effective method for long-term hair reduction on various areas of the body.

While both IPL and laser treatments target hair follicles with light energy, IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, making it versatile for different skin and hair types. Laser uses a focused beam of light, which may be more specific for certain concerns. IPL is often more affordable and covers larger areas more quickly.

Most clients see significant results after 6–10 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your hair type, colour, and the area being treated. Maintenance sessions may be recommended for long-term results.

IPL significantly reduces hair growth, and many clients experience long-lasting smoothness. However, it's considered a form of long-term hair reduction, not permanent removal. Some fine or light regrowth can occur over time and may be maintained with touch-up sessions.

IPL is most effective on light to medium skin tones with darker hair. It may not be suitable for very dark skin or very light/blonde/grey hair, as the technology relies on the contrast between the pigment in the hair and the skin. We offer consultations to determine if IPL is right for you.

IPL can be used on almost all areas, including the face, underarms, arms, chest, back, bikini line, Brazilian, legs, and more. We also offer multi-area packages for better value and convenience.

You can shave between sessions, but do not wax, tweeze, or use depilatory creams during your treatment plan. These methods remove the hair from the follicle, which is needed for the IPL to be effective.

1. Avoid sun exposure or tanning for 2 weeks before your session

2. Shave the treatment area 24 hours beforehand

3. Don’t use any lotions, deodorants, or skincare products on the treatment area before your appointment

4. Let us know about any medications or skin conditions in advance

Side effects are usually minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or slight sensitivity in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few hours.

We use professional-grade technology and tailor each treatment to your skin and hair type for safe, effective results. Our package options make it easier to commit to long-term hair reduction while saving money and treating multiple areas at once.

Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap or flick against the skin—similar to a rubber band. Discomfort is generally mild and temporary. It is known to be a lot more comfortable than laser hair removal.
