✨ Smooth Skin, Backed by Science

If you’ve ever wondered how IPL Hair Removal actually works, you’re not alone. On the outside, it looks like just a quick flash of light — but beneath the skin, something pretty amazing is happening. At Peninsula Skin Co., we combine science and skin expertise to bring you long-term smoothness and confidence.

✨ What IPL Is All About

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light — a treatment that uses powerful flashes of light to safely target unwanted hair at its root. Unlike shaving (which only works at the surface), IPL dives deeper into the skin to treat where the problem starts.

🔎 How It Works Inside the Skin

When the IPL handpiece is placed on your skin, it sends out controlled pulses of light. That light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, which then turns into heat. This heat gently disables the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. Over a course of treatments, the hair weakens and thins — until it’s gone for good.

🛠 The Tools We Use

At Peninsula Skin Co., we only use medical-grade IPL devices designed for precision and safety. Every session is customised with The Smooth Skin Method — mapping your skin and hair type, and timing each session strategically to match your hair growth cycles.

✨ The Magic of IPL

The real magic happens below the surface: ⚡ Long-term reduction in unwanted hair ⚡ Smoother, softer skin ⚡ Less irritation and fewer ingrown hairs ⚡ Confidence that lasts long after your sessions are done
