Does IPL Hair Removal Work? Session 3

June 3, 2017 by Katie Meehan 2 Comments

As I approach my fourth IPL session by Aspen Beauty, I thought I’d reflect back on my previous sessions for a second and let you know how I have progressed. In sessions 1 & 2 I noticed a visible difference with my hair growth and in the two sessions since I have less and less hair growth. I chose my underarms as my main concern as my skin is rather sensitive and I am most prone to ingrown hairs under my arms. Whenever I’d shave, I’d struggle to get a clean, neat shave and it would always look as if there are some hairs still there. A real annoyance!

After my 3rd session I have truly noticed such a massive difference. I barely grow any hair now, and the area has lightened up. I no longer struggle with ingrown hairs and as you can see from the image, the growth is minimal. Now, I’ll NEVER have to wax my underarms again. I did once, and I made a huge mess of it. It was bright purple and red, I bruised it so badly. I’m NEVER waxing myself again, ha!

I honestly cannot be more thrilled about this experience, it’s totally transformed my confidence and I feel so comfortable wearing dresses on a night out now that are strapless or spaghetti straps, as my underarms look soft and without the ingrown hairs.

A lot of people ask me ‘But what if you regret it, and wish there was hair there?’ and my response is… I won’t. I know that this is the decision for me and if it’s something you’re interested in, honestly 100% check it out.

Aspen Beauty is offering £10 off their first IPL treatment, all you have to do is drop me a message and I’ll sort it out for you! You can email me, [email protected] or message me on Twitter/Facebook or Instagram! The salon is located in Stannington, Northumberland and is extremely easy to get to! (Plus, Stannington is a wonderful place). A huge thank you to them for allowing me to continue this treatment to review.

    I’ve been considering ipl hair removal for a while now, and my under arms is the place I’d probably choose too – such a shame aspen beauty is so far away from me down south, looks like a brilliant place to go!
