Unwanted Facial & Body Hair
Unwanted facial and body hair is one of the most common reasons people come to see us, whether it is upper-lip and chin hair, underarms, legs or a bikini line. At Dynamic Skin Services in Crawley we approach it two ways: IPL (intense pulsed light) for long-lasting hair reduction over a planned course, and expert waxing for smooth skin right now. New clients usually start with a Skin Rejuvenation Consultation so Brenda can match the right path to your skin and hair. Guide prices from $30.
Why unwanted hair keeps coming back
Hair grows in cycles, and only the follicles in an active growth phase can be treated at any one time. That is why a single session never settles it for good, and why shaving, plucking and waxing on their own mean a constant cycle of regrowth. Several things influence how much hair you have and how quickly it returns:
- Your natural hair colour, thickness and density, which vary a lot from person to person
- Hormonal factors, which can drive stubborn facial and body hair
- The area itself, since the face, underarms, legs and bikini line each behave differently
- Your hair's growth cycle, which is why treatment is planned as a course rather than a one-off
Because everyone's hair is different, we look at yours in person first, then plan the approach that suits it best.
Long-lasting IPL hair reduction
IPL hair reduction uses gentle pulses of light that are drawn to the pigment in the hair, targeting the follicle to reduce how much hair grows back over time. It is important to be honest about what this can do: IPL delivers long-lasting hair reduction, meaning finer, sparser regrowth and longer gaps between treatments, rather than permanent removal. Most people are best suited to a planned course, spaced several weeks apart to follow the hair's growth cycle.
- Lip, chin, hairline and small spot areas, from $75
- Brazilian, from $200
- Full leg hair reduction, from $250
IPL suits many skin and hair types, though not all, and it works best on darker hair. That is exactly what your consultation is for: Brenda assesses your skin and hair, explains what is realistic for you, and where needed carries out a patch test before any course begins.
Waxing for smooth skin now
If you would rather have smooth skin today, or you are not sure IPL is right for you yet, our waxing and beauty menu covers everything from a quick facial tidy to legs and bikini. Waxing removes hair from the root, so results last longer than shaving and regrowth comes back softer over time.
- Facial waxing, from $30
- Underarm, $30, or bikini line, from $35
- Half legs $40, full leg $65
- Designer bikini, from $90
Many people combine the two: waxing to stay smooth while a course of IPL gradually reduces the hair underneath. We will talk you through which mix suits your skin, your budget and your routine.

Treatments that may help
Frequently asked
Will IPL remove my hair permanently?
IPL is designed for long-lasting hair reduction, not permanent removal. Over a planned course, most people find their hair grows back finer and sparser, with longer gaps between treatments. How much reduction you see, and how many sessions it takes, varies from person to person and depends on your hair colour and thickness. Brenda sets realistic expectations at your consultation, and occasional maintenance sessions help hold your result.
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Because hair grows in cycles, only some follicles can be treated at each visit, so IPL is always done as a course spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on the area, your hair type and how your skin responds. We give you a realistic guide at your consultation rather than a fixed promise, since everyone's hair behaves a little differently.
Should I choose IPL or waxing?
It depends on what you are after. Waxing gives smooth skin straight away and suits most hair types, while IPL works gradually to reduce how much hair grows back over time and works best on darker hair. Many people combine the two. Brenda talks through which mix suits your skin, budget and routine at your consultation, so you are not guessing.
Does IPL hair reduction hurt, and is there downtime?
Most people describe a warm flick or light snap with each pulse, and we keep you comfortable throughout. There is little to no downtime for most treatments, with some warmth or pinkness that settles quickly. Sensation and recovery vary between individuals and by area, and we explain simple aftercare, including sun protection, before you leave.
