IPL or laser hair removal: what is the difference? Straight talk, no blurred lines.
Laser uses one exact wavelength of light. IPL (intense pulsed light) uses a broad band of light, filtered for hair removal. Both target the pigment in the hair and heat the follicle so it grows back finer and slower. Laser can be stronger per session and suits more skin types. IPL is gentler, covers bigger areas quickly and works very well on dark hair with lighter skin. Mirabell uses IPL. If your skin or hair suits laser better, we will tell you.
Is IPL right for you? The honest checklist.
You'll love it if
- Your hair is darker than your skin. That contrast is what IPL needs.
- You are tired of shaving rash, ingrown hairs and waxing appointments.
- You want smoother legs, underarms, bikini or face, for the long run.
- You are a man who wants a cleaner back, chest or arms with less upkeep.
Not right now if
- Your hair is blonde, red, grey or white. IPL cannot see it, so it will not work well.
- Your skin is very dark or tanned. IPL is limited on darker skin types. The patch test checks this, and we will tell you honestly if laser elsewhere suits you better.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you have sunburn, a recent tan or fake tan.
- You take medication or supplements that make skin sensitive to light, for example some antibiotics, acne tablets (isotretinoin in the last 6 months) or St John's wort. Tell us at your patch test.
- You have a skin infection, open wound, active cold sore or a condition triggered by light (such as epilepsy triggered by flashing light) in or near the area.
- You have tattoos or dark moles in the area. We work around them.
General guidance, not medical advice. We check your health history and medication at your patch test.

Step 1 of 6
Patch test
10 minutes, at least 48 hours before your first session. We check your skin type, your hair and how your skin responds.
Prepare
Shave the area 24 hours before. No waxing, plucking or epilating for 4 weeks before. No tan.
Treatment
A cooling gel goes on and you wear protective glasses. Each flash feels like a warm elastic snap.
Straight after
Mild redness for a few hours. Back to your day.
Repeat
Usually 6 to 8 sessions: face every 4 to 6 weeks, body every 6 to 8 weeks, timed to the hair growth cycle. Most clients see less hair from session three.
Maintain
After the course, an occasional top-up keeps you smooth.
Before and after IPL A little prep, an easy recovery.
Before your appointment
- Do: Tell us about any new medicine, antibiotic or supplement since your last session, as some make skin more sensitive to light.
- Avoid: No waxing, plucking, threading or epilating, because IPL needs the hair root in place.
- Avoid: No sun, sunbeds or fake tan on the area.
- Do: Shave the area.
- Do: Come with clean skin: no deodorant, perfume, body lotion or make-up on the area.

IPL hair removal questions Straight answers, before you book.
Is IPL the same as laser hair removal?
No. Laser uses one wavelength of light, IPL uses a broad, filtered band. Both target pigment in the hair. Mirabell uses IPL, which works very well on dark hair with lighter skin.
Does IPL hair removal work?
Yes, on the right hair. Most clients see less hair from session three and long-term reduction after a full course. It is not 100% permanent, so occasional top-ups help.
Does IPL work on blonde, red or grey hair?
Little or not at all. IPL needs dark pigment in the hair to work. We will tell you honestly at your patch test.
How many IPL sessions do I need?
Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions per area. Face is usually treated every 4 to 6 weeks and the body every 6 to 8 weeks. Face and hormonal areas can need more, plus occasional top-ups.
Does IPL hurt?
Most clients compare it to a warm elastic band snapping on the skin. Cooling gel keeps it comfortable. The bikini and upper lip feel strongest.
How much is IPL hair removal in Dublin?
At Mirabell, IPL starts from €30 per session for the face. Every area price is shown live above.
Do I shave before IPL?
Yes, shave 24 hours before. Do not wax, pluck or epilate for about 4 weeks before, because IPL needs the hair root in place.
Can I tan before or after IPL?
No. Avoid sun, sunbeds and fake tan for 2 weeks either side of each session. Tanned skin raises the risk of burns and may mean your session is moved.
