My Skin Boutique Perth offers IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal for the face, with facial zones including upper lip, chin, cheeks, and full-face treatment. IPL hair removal targets the melanin in the hair shaft and follicle, delivering thermal energy that damages the follicle's ability to produce new hair growth.
