Treatment Options
At IWH Medspa, we offer advanced, effective treatments for unwanted hair removal:
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is a popular and non-invasive hair removal treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target hair follicles. As light enters the hair, pigment absorbs it, disabling the follicle and preventing further growth. IPL is suitable for large body areas, such as the legs, back, and arms, and can be used on both face and body for long-term hair reduction. It is a safe and effective treatment that requires little downtime.
PicoSure®
PicoSure® is an advanced laser that uses picosecond energy pulses to treat unwanted hair. It targets the hair follicle with high precision, effectively removing hair and minimizing discomfort. The treatment is fast, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. Suitable for most skin types, PicoSure® can be used for many areas, including smaller or more sensitive areas like the face and bikini line.
Morpheus8® RF Microneedling
While primarily a skin rejuvenation treatment, Morpheus8® RF microneedling can also aid in treating unwanted hair in certain areas. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve hair removal results with other therapies like IPL. This option helps reduce hair growth in difficult-to-reach or smaller areas.
Waxing
For those who prefer a temporary solution, waxing can be very helpful in eliminating hair from larger areas of the body, such as legs, arms, and the back. Waxing provides smooth, hair-free skin for weeks, and it’s an excellent choice for those seeking longer-lasting results compared to shaving.

For optimal results in laser hair removal, most people require 6-8 sessions. The number of sessions may vary based on the area treated, hair type, and individual response to treatment.

Performing laser hair removal by trained professionals is safe. Our team at IWH Medspa uses the latest technology to ensure a safe and comfortable treatment.
How long do the results last?
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results, with most patients experiencing permanent hair reduction after completing their treatment series. Some individuals may need occasional touch-up sessions for maintenance.
Is there any downtime with hair removal treatments?
Laser hair removal requires minimal downtime, so most people can return to normal right after the procedure. Some redness or swelling may occur, but it usually resolves within a few hours. Waxing may result in temporary redness, but there is no downtime.
