Pure Essence is proud to offer The Lynton EXCELIGHT — Advanced IPL Hair Removal in the Northwest
As the UK's No. 1 IPL manufacturer and a trusted supplier to the NHS, Lynton has developed the EXCELIGHT, a certified medical-grade device delivering safe, effective, and permanent hair reduction. Suitable for men, women, and transgender clients, this British-made technology offers you a professional solution for smooth, hair-free skin.
How Does Light-Assisted Hair Removal Work?
The treatment uses powerful pulses of light, which are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair follicles. This light energy heats and destroys the follicles responsible for hair growth, without harming the surrounding skin, giving you long-lasting results.
What Happens During Treatment?
A handheld device is placed gently on your skin, releasing short pulses of light that target many hair follicles at once. The applicator is smoothly moved across the treatment area until every part is treated—fast, precise, and comfortable.
Are You Suitable for Lynton EXCELIGHT IPL Hair Removal?
Most skin types can benefit from IPL, with best results achieved on fair skin with dark hair due to the higher melanin content. If you have lighter or grey hair, treatment may be less effective because of lower melanin levels. We recommend a free consultation with our expert therapists to assess your suitability and discuss what results you can expect.
What Does Treatment Feel Like?
Many clients describe the sensation as a light flick of an elastic band. There is typically no need for anaesthesia, and any discomfort is usually mild and well-tolerated.
What Will You Notice After Treatment?
Hair follicles are damaged by the treatment but the hairs remain in place initially. You’ll see these hairs shed naturally over 1 to 3 weeks as your skin renews, which can feel like hair is still growing, but it is actually being pushed out by fresh skin.
Are There Any Side Effects?
After treatment, you may experience mild redness or swollen, bumpy follicles, which generally settle within a few hours. Rarely, some clients may notice small blisters or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
Since IPL targets only actively growing hair, multiple sessions are required to achieve the best results. Treatments are typically scheduled every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the area, with most clients needing 6 or more sessions for optimal hair reduction.
How Long Does Each Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies by area—from as quick as 10 minutes for small zones to about an hour for larger areas.
How Should You Prepare?
To ensure the best results:
Avoid all hair removal methods except shaving for at least two weeks before treatment.
Waxing, threading, and hair removal creams must be avoided.
Shave the area carefully 12 hours before your appointment.
Can You Go on Holiday During Treatment?
Laser treatment can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. We recommend avoiding sun exposure for at least two weeks after each session to protect your skin and maintain results.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Before your first treatment, we’ll take a detailed medical history and answer any questions you have to ensure IPL is right for you. You will provide written consent, and a small test patch will be done to confirm your skin’s response before full treatment begins.
Flexible Payment Options
We offer pay-as-you-go sessions or discounted courses tailored to your needs, making it easy and affordable to achieve your smooth skin goals.
