A Hair Erasing Experience: IPL at Ministry of Waxing At Ministry of Waxing, we live by the simple mantra of Hygiene, Speed and Quality. Our waxing processes are safe, comfortable and – most importantly of all – put our customers at ease, no matter what the procedure.  However, if you think being waxed is a bit of a faff and want to save time, effort and – in the long run – money we are also world leaders in Intense Pulsed Light treatments. Want to know more? Read on. What is IPL?  Intense Pulsed Light treatment, or IPL, comes to you straight from the realms of sci-fi. The machine directs pulses of light straight down into the follicles of your stubborn, unwanted hair. The melanin in your hair absorbs the energy, converts it into heat and this process, over the course of six treatments, weakens the hair to the point where it won’t grow back for a long, long time. Not only this, but IPL treatments also reduce pigmentation in treated areas, giving you a smooth, blemish free finish for a long time.  It’s effective, it’s quick, and as with any visit to Ministry of Waxing, you can be assured that you’re in the hands of the best around. Is it safe? We know what you’re thinking. And yes, it does sound complicated. But we promise, it’s not. Our technicians are intensively trained over eight weeks at a dedicated IPL academy to ensure that their knowledge is as comprehensive as can be. Aside from this, we’ve spent nine years developing our technique and furthering the field of IPL. The machine we use is the toppest of top of the line – the Ferrari of IPL machines, if you will – so all of our customers are safe in the knowledge that the entire process – from tech to technician - is free of pesky bugs or weak links. What are the benefits? The main, standout benefit of IPL treatment is that you’re hair free for longer, while spending less time in salons. Our waxing treatments are already hassle free – IPL is even less fuss than that. Just six sessions (ten for facial treatments) and you’re hair free for around two years.  Over the course of three years, IPL Brazilian treatments can save you 75 hours in salons. That’s over three days for you to learn how to windsurf, speak French or anything you can’t get done while sitting in a salon. What about afterwards? Our post IPL treatments have been specially developed in conjunction with our global Waxperts to ensure that our customers have the best possible soothing care during and after treatment. The same ethos that runs through our waxing practices continues through everything we do. Pop in for a chat, or speak to us on Facebook or Twitter. We’ve got all the answers you need.

IPL FAQs - everything you wanted to know, but were too afraid to ask Here at Ministry of Waxing, your happiness is our pleasure. We work very hard to make sure that our customers are always satisfied with the treatment they receive and, just as importantly, made to feel comfortable during their stay with us.  With that in mind, we wanted to compile a collection of a few of the questions we hear regularly to ensure that you’re totally comfortable with your IPL experience at Ministry of Waxing. Can you have IPL treatment if you have skin conditions such as Psoriasis or Eczema? How does it effect acne scars?  Yes, of course! In fact, IPL hair removal has been shown to have healing qualities when it comes to such skin problems. Due to its effects on the pigmentation of the skin, it also has the chance of smoothing out stretch marks, scars and blemishes.  I read in your previous information that IPL is “generally safe”, in what ways is it not safe?  IPL is safe as long as it is performed by experienced practitioners - like our Waxperts - who perform a patch test on the skin beforehand. We promise it’s not dangerous. Our technicians are intensively trained over eight weeks at a dedicated IPL academy to ensure that their knowledge is as comprehensive as can be. It has been shown that tanned skin may be more sensitive and possibly blister, so it is advised to steer clear of sun-beds for four weeks before treatments. Can I remove hair in between treatments? Yes, you can shave your hair between treatments because the IPL lasers target the root of the hair. Sadly, waxing cannot be performed between treatments because it removes the bulb of the hair.  Can I have IPL treatment at Ministry of Waxing if I have tattoos on the area? It has been reported that IPL can fade tattoos due to its effect on the pigmentation of the skin, however, we are more than happy to perform IPL over your tattoos if you’d like us to. How long does the hair on the area have to be?  The hair can be any length because the treatment effects the root and not the hair itself - although you must remember not to wax the hair between treatments! Are there any medical conditions that mean i cant have IPL treatment at Ministry of Waxing? Unfortunately we can’t treat you if you have diabetes or are pregnant. We also believe that you should wait three years after Chemotherapy to have this procedure. There’s also a slight risk if you suffer from photosensitive epilepsy. If you feel as though you’d be at risk of complications, we’d strongly recommend you put your mind at ease by speaking to your GP. Can I have IPL treatment while I’m menstruating? Of course you can, although please bear in mind that your body is more sensitive around this time, so the sensation might be a tiny big stronger. Is it true that you have to have dark hair for IPL hair removal to be effective? Not at all. Obviously, those with darker hair will have a more noticeable difference, faster but we promise you that it will work just as well on those with blonde hair. At Ministry of Waxing we don’t want you to have numerous treatments with no visible difference, we like our customers to have a pleasurable experience and be completely satisfied after six sessions.  ·
