Preperation & Post Care

Before your IPL treatment
  • Stay out of the sun or solariums for at least two weeks before your treatment. Sun exposure can lead to damaging the skin and increase the risk of pigmentation and burns
  • Self tan or spray tan cannot be used for two weeks before your treatment. the dark pigment attracts the light and can result in pigmentation and discolouration of the treated area
  • Please ensure the area to be treated is shaved before attending your appointment
  • Do not wax of pluck for 4-6 weeks before and during the course of your treatment. removing hair from the root means there is no hair for the IPL to target, shaving ot ok between treatments
After you IPL Treatment
  • Apply our BB repair gel to the treated area for the next 48 hours to help soothe the skin
  • Avoid vigorous excercise and sweating for 24 hours
  • After 7 days, be sure to exfoliate the treated area 2-3 times per week

Understanding IPL

Say goodbye to unwanted hair with IPL hair removal, a stellar innovation in the beauty world!

The science and process of IPL hair removal

In the world of IPL, it’s all about melanin – the pigment that adds colour to our hair and skin. Here’s how it works: IPL hair removal emits a broad spectrum of light that is absorbed by melanin and converted into heat. By zapping those follicles with heat, we can keep those unwanted hairs at bay.

How IPL hair removal works: a step-by-step guide

With IPL hair removal, your journey begins with an IPL device emitting gentle pulses of light eagerly absorbed by your hair pigment. The light energy then takes a transformative journey, turning into heat and sabotaging those pesky cells responsible for hair growth. With each session, you’ll notice hairs are finer and fewer.

Depending on your hair, skin type, and a few other factors, you’ll get significant, long-term hair reduction. Hello, low maintenance!

Safety and eligibility: who can opt for IPL hair removal

Before you dive headfirst into the world of IPL hair removal, let’s discuss eligibility.

Is IPL ideal for everyone? Not necessarily. Pregnant women, those with photosensitivity or very dark skin, and anyone on certain medications should step back and have a little chat with a professional first. Safety first, always, dear readers!

The results: before and after IPL hair removal

So, does IPL hair removal work? Many have noticed a bit less hair after just one round of IPL hair removal. Talk about a smooth operator!

But let’s remember that results may vary – after all, we’re all unique! For the best results after your IPL treatment, make sure you’re following all the rules, like avoiding plucking, waxing, or threading for at least six weeks before your session.

As always, ensure you’ve had a chat with your therapist about whether IPL is the ideal fit for you.

Choosing the right hair removal method

How does IPL treatment compare with laser?

Are you confused about the difference between IPL and laser hair removal? Well, here’s the scoop. IPL works best for light skin types with its range of light energies. It may take more sessions to achieve hair reduction, but each session is usually quick – you may even be able to squeeze it into your schedule as a lunchtime appointment!

On the other hand, the diode laser has a smaller spot size, which means the energy is more focused on a particular area, but your session may take longer.

Both laser and IPL devices have cooling systems to minimise your discomfort. Some of our clients experience less pain with IPL than with laser, but it really comes down to how your individual skin reacts to the treatment.

Traditional methods: IPL hair removal vs traditional waxing

In the world of hair removal, traditional waxing has been a reliable option, offering quick and affordable service. But if you’re looking for long-lasting hair reduction, try IPL hair removal, the tech-savvy contender.

Making the decision: choosing the best method for hair removal

Selecting a hair removal method requires careful evaluation of the pros and cons of each option. Ultimately, your choice depends on personal preference, pain tolerance, skin type, and the area you want to treat. Consult with a pro to make sure you’re making the best decision. They’ll have all the inside scoop to help you out.

Preparing for your IPL hair removal journey

Consultation and scheduling: preparing for an IPL treatment

Ready to get your glow on? Before you start your IPL treatment, schedule a meeting with a specialist. They’ll explain the difference between waxing, IPL, and laser hair removal and check if IPL is the best option for you based on your skin and hair type.

Feel free to ask any questions about the IPL process, what results you can expect, and any possible side effects, as it’s important to be well-informed before your IPL treatment. After your meeting, take some time to think about the information you’ve received and decide if IPL is the right choice for you.

Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the specialist to a T, like avoiding sunlight and certain skincare products. Trust us – your skin will thank you!

The treatment day: what to expect during and after the IPL treatment

During your IPL treatment, you might feel a slight pinch as the light pulses are delivered to your skin. But no worries! A cooling gel is applied to reduce any discomfort.

After the treatment, your skin may be a little red, but it’s just your skin’s way of saying, ‘Hey, that’s new!’ This should go away within a few hours. Steer clear of sunlight and harsh skincare products for at least a day after the treatment.

Post-treatment care: ongoing care and maintenance after IPL treatment

Now that you’ve had your IPL session, let’s make sure you keep that gorgeous glow going strong. Just remember to follow those post-treatment care instructions like a boss, and you’ll be looking radiant in no time.

Do’s:

  • Use a soothing gel to reduce redness and irritation.
  • Apply sunscreen of at least SPF 15 on the treated areas exposed to sunlight.
  • Exfoliate the area every few days a week after your laser hair removal treatment.

Don’ts:

  • Avoid scratching or picking at your skin, which can slow down healing.
  • Avoid exposing the treated area to the sun for at least two weeks after the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Have you ever wondered if IPL hair removal hurts? You’re not alone! Similar to other beauty treatments like eyebrow waxing, brow lamination, or lash lifts, some people are concerned about pain during IPL.

You’ll be glad to know that IPL devices have cooling systems that help minimise discomfort during treatment, making the IPL hair reduction process generally less painful than waxing.

It’s worth noting, however, that some people experience a snapping sensation with IPL, similar to a rubber band being snapped against the skin. If you have sensitive skin, we can adjust your IPL to keep it comfy.

Although it’s a common misconception, IPL hair removal isn’t permanent, though you may notice long-term hair reduction. You only need to schedule maintenance appointments a few times each year to maintain hair-free skin.

The number of maintenance appointments you need depends on your medical history, skin type, and individual response to treatment. Also, you won’t see results from this treatment right away since it typically takes six to ten sessions, depending on your skin and hair type. Similar to waxing, IPL treatments are typically scheduled every four to six weeks.

Let’s face it, ladies – we all crave that perfect bikini line. And the quick answer to whether IPL hair removal is safe for pubic hair is yes, it is! This procedure has been used successfully by many women to maintain their intimate regions. Trust the experts for your hair down there, and reach out to a therapist if you’re IPL-curious.

Preperation & Post Care

Before your Spray tan
  • Exfoliate 24-48 hours prior to your appointment. Removing dead skin cells through exfoliating ensures a smooth, flawless result
  • Wax and shave 24 – 48 hours prior to your appointment. This allows the pores time to close and help avoid dark spots in your pores
  • 24 hours before you apply your tan, avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products, oil based products or in-shower moisturizers, this also includes hair conditioner. These products may act as a barrier against your skin and can prevent the fast acting tanning agents to develop
  • Ensure dark loose clothing is worn to your appointment to avoid rubing or marking your freshly spray tan
After your Spray tan
  • Once you are ready to rinse, shower in luke warm water until the water runs clear. Don’t shave, exfoliate or use any soap & shampoo’s as this can effect the end result by stripping the DHA.
  • Pat dry your body, no rubbing!
  • Hydrated skin is key to the best results, we recommend using our “I Want Candy” tan extender daily to maintain your tan and to give the longest lasting tan.

The magic of spray tanning

Spray tanning: a sun-kissed love affair

As Aussies, we do enjoy flaunting a sun-kissed glow, especially when it’s time to hit the sun, sand, and surf. A radiant tan also signals a healthy lifestyle, but steering clear of UV radiation’s damaging effects can be tricky.

A golden glow is great, but UV radiation from prolonged sun exposure isn’t as lovely, especially when it can lead to skin damage and other complications.

That’s why spray tanning, or spray on tan, has become a favourite beauty companion. Offering a swift, top-notch solution for achieving a natural-looking tan, it’s become the safe alternative to sun tanning for many Australian beauties.

A peek behind the curtains: the science of spray tanning

The magic ingredient in this spray-tanning tale is a sweet compound called dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

When sprayed onto your skin by a professional spray tanner, DHA engages in a fancy dance with your skin’s amino acids, answering the question of ‘How do spray tans work?’ This causes the Maillard reaction, which creates that alluring bronzed hue on your skin.

Over time, as your skin naturally exfoliates, your faux tan fades, but with diligent care, you can extend its life. Just remember, a light spray tan is your ticket to a tantalising look, not a sun shield. Sunscreen remains a must!

Golden glowing beauty: why we love spray tans

Now, let’s talk about perks!

A spray tan isn’t just about that sun-kissed look; it’s the ideal beauty accessory for any occasion. It’s speedy, straightforward, and adds an instant pop to your appearance. What’s more, you can explore various shades to find your perfect match.

And as an added bonus, the best spray tans offer hydration and nourishment for your skin. The spray tan cost is a small price to pay for the confidence boost you get!

Remember, though, that safety never takes a holiday.

Before diving into spray tanning, always do a patch test. On the day of your tan, exfoliate and avoid water for at least eight hours post-tan. Go for loose clothing to avoid smudging your newfound glow, and during the application, ensure your eyes, nose, and mouth are protected.

Spray tanning should be about embracing your beauty while prioritising skin health. By following these rules, you’ll step out of the spray tanning salon glowing and ready to seize the day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Ladies, let’s be real – not all tans are created equal. If you’re after that perfect sun-kissed glow, it’s time to say goodbye to DIY attempts and hello to professional tanning salons. It’s the secret weapon for that impeccable golden sheen you’ve been dreaming about.

There are plenty of reasons to trade your at-home tanning woes for the pros at a salon like Brazilian Butterfly. Our skilled therapists know their stuff, providing professional guidance and guaranteeing a consistent, even spray tan application that you just won’t get with store-bought products.


Quality isn’t just a buzzword at Brazilian Butterfly; it’s a pledge. We go all-in with top-tier spray tan solutions that deliver a natural, radiant tan without UV radiation.

And it’s not just about our designer products; it’s about the art of how to spray tan. We also offer personalised shades with pre- and post-tan care advice that are leaps and bounds beyond anything you’d find anywhere else.

The Brazilian Butterfly experience doesn’t stop with a killer tan. We’re also all about holistic beauty care, whether it’s waxing, laser hair removal, LED light therapy, or the classic Brazilian wax. We’ve got you covered from head to toe!

When you choose us, you’re not just opting for a salon – you’re embracing a lifestyle.

Picture this: A bronzed, goddess-like you, turning heads as you strut your stuff. Sounds fantastic, doesn’t it, darling? Well, with Brazilian Butterfly’s expert spray tan services, this could be you.

But hey, before you step into the spray tanning booth, let’s take a moment to walk you through the pre-tan drill. To rock that flawless, bronzed look after a spray tan, you need to do a bit of pre-tan prep work, babes!

  • Smooth Operator. Exfoliate like a queen, ladies! Scrub away those stubborn dead skin cells to ensure your spray tan sticks and looks evenly fabulous. Pay extra attention to the usually dry zones, like your elbows, knees, and ankles. 
  • Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow! Shave or wax at least a day before your appointment to avoid any skin irritation. If you’re looking for an expert waxing service to go with your spray tan, consider the Brazilian waxing, eyebrow waxing or brow lamination services also offered at Brazilian Butterfly. 
  • Keep It Bare. Skip the moisturisers and oils on D-day. They are your spray tan’s arch-nemesis, leading to uneven tans.
  • Loosey Goosey. Dress in loose, dark clothing to prevent any rub-off or smudging.
  • Au Naturale. Come sans makeup and jewellery for an interference-free spray tan session.
  • Towel Time! Bring a towel along to safeguard your car seats from any rogue tan spray. 

By following these pre-tan rituals, you’re well on your way to a seamless spray tanning experience. Buckle up, babes, because your journey to achieving that impeccable glow is about to begin. Let the tanning commence!

Depending on a variety of factors, from your unique skin type to the quality of the spray tan solution and, most importantly, how you pamper your skin post-application. Typically, your glorious glow can stick around for anywhere between five and ten days.

With a little extra love and care, however, you can push the limits and make it last longer.

Glow-Getter Tactics: Make Your Spray Tan Last

It’s all about avoiding certain activities and adopting a few golden rules. Try skipping hot showers or baths, and stay clear of swimming pools or hot tubs. Sweating it out at the gym or going on a marathon? Hold that thought, because excessive sweating can be a spray tan’s downfall.

Now, here’s the secret sauce – regular moisturising. Keeping your skin well-hydrated not only helps maintain the vibrancy of your tan but also ensures it lasts longer. Invest in a good moisturiser and make it your new best friend.

The bottom line? Treat your spray tan like a prized possession. Protect it, pamper it, and it will reward you with a golden glow that can outlast the usual timeline.

So, gear up, beautiful ladies, and let’s make that tan last!

Session Tips

Before your session
DO:
  • Wash your skin daily to keep follicles clean and free of bacteria.
  • Exfoliate 24-48 hours before your wax to remove as many dead skin cells as possible, to ensure the wax grabs only your hair.
  • Prepare for your wax by using the BB wipe provided to clean the area.
  • If you are concerned about sensitivity you can take Panadol or Nurofen 1 hour before your treatment. All of our waxing treatments are performed professionally and quickly with specialty wax and techniques.
DON’T:
  • Trim your hair before a Brazilian waxing service as it may be too short to perform the treatment. We will trim the hair to the correct length using clippers and a fresh disposable clipper attachment for every new client. Please bring with you for future treatments if it’s been a while.
  • Book an appointment if your skin has had too much sun exposure or trauma that has damaged the skin’s surface.
  • Book in for a wax if you have a spray tan that you want to keep – it will get waxed off!
After your session
DO:
  • Moisturise your skin daily using our specialty after wax lotions designed by us, for their antibacterial qualities and professional results.
  • After waxing treatments skin can become red or irritated we will apply a cold compress (ice pack) in the rare event of a skin reaction or if your skin is super sensitive. It’s best to avoid your bikinis or the beach/pool the day of your wax.
  • Exfoliate your skin 3-5 days after your wax with our essentials or delicates body wash or body scrub using a BB Mitt.
  • Avoid the gym the day of your wax that includes intimate activities. Always shower directly after sweaty work out sessions to clear the follicles of perspiration using our specialty Sugar cocoon I love my muffin wash that is especially Ph balanced for your intimate areas.
DON’T:
  • Avoid sun and tanning applications 24 to 48 hours after waxing.
  • Shave between waxes it distorts the hair growth cycle.
  • Try to avoid sexual activity in the first 24 hours after getting an intimate wax, as your hair follicles will still be open and susceptible to infection (sorry!).

All About Women’s Waxing

Waxing decoded and its vintage roots

Let’s talk about waxing!

Waxing isn’t the new kid on the block. It’s been around for centuries, getting love from various cultures. Ancient Egyptian women, for example, waxed all body hair using beeswax and sugar-based waxes. Both men and women flaunted hair removal as a sign of wealth during the Roman Empire.

Fast forward to the 1960s, when wax strips burst onto the scene, becoming the go-to method for waxing underarm and leg hair. Today, many men and women can’t do without some form of hair removal, with waxing featuring prominently in their beauty routines.

But how does it work? Heated or warm wax removes hair by sticking to it and then pulling it out from the root. The wax is spread over the hairy area, after which a cloth or paper strip is pressed onto the wax. Once it hardens, it’s pulled off quickly, taking the hair with it.

The results of waxing typically last for about four to six weeks, although some of us might see regrowth in a week due to different hair growth cycles. From eyebrows to bikini lines and knuckles to feet, virtually every body part is fair game for waxing.

Women’s Body Waxing: Your ticket to superior hair removal

In the battle between shaving and waxing, the latter wins. Its perks are longer-lasting results (thank you, root removal!), smoother and softer skin, less itchiness, and zero risk of cuts.

With waxing, hair grows back slower and finer, and ingrown hairs become less of a nuisance. It even exfoliates by removing dead skin cells – talk about multitasking!

Your waxing walkthrough: Nailing that smooth glow

Let’s spill the tea, ladies: Professional waxing is not just safer with trained therapists at the helm; it also brings home the bacon with superior results.

For starters, salons like Brazilian Butterfly have special secret recipes for the waxes we use. High-quality waxes work wonders on short hair and can leave your skin feeling smoother than a satin sheet for longer.

Professional waxing also ensures safety and minimises the risks of mishaps that come with DIY wax kits. So, for a smooth ride, trust the pros and bask in the convenience of a professional salon wax. Here’s to empowering your self-care journey with sass, style, and a whole lot of smoothness!

Skin 101: The perfect prep for waxing

When prepping for your waxing session, hydration is your skin’s best friend, so guzzle up that H2O for a healthy, hydrated glow. A gentle exfoliation a day or two before your waxing date also helps remove dead skin cells, making the salon wax experience smoother than your favourite chocolate truffle.

But ditch those harsh scrubs to avoid any irritation going into your waxing session. Clean, oil-free skin is key for the wax to do its magic, and harsh scrubs could dry out your skin; use a hydrating wash instead! Regular moisturising leading up to the wax helps the skin relax.

Hold off on the lotions and oils on the big day, too; they could make your skin too slippery, and the wax may not stick to your hair as well as it should.

Finally, schedule your session ahead of time and get an initial consultation, especially if it’s your first time at a waxing salon. When you step into a Brazilian Butterfly salon for your schedule, don’t be shy about spilling the beans to your therapist about your skin preferences for a tailored, fuss-free experience.

So you’ve been waxed: The short-term aftermath

Don’t be alarmed if you experience mild discomfort, tiny bumps, or skin blushing after waxing; these are typical, entirely normal reactions. Usually, these sensations fade within 24–48 hours. However, if your skin still protests with redness or irritation, don’t hesitate to call your therapist!

As for those first 12 hours post-wax, let your body recover by avoiding vigourous activities, friction, heat, and all things sweaty. 48–72 hours post-wax, treat your skin to some tender exfoliation. You can also dodge potential skin boo-boos like ingrown hairs, infections, and irritation by moisturising religiously and ditching tight attire for a few days after getting a body wax or bikini wax.

Finally, embrace a post-depilatory lotion to soothe and maintain those smooth waxing results. Brazilian Butterfly has a designer line of post-care products that will make you feel like a superstar, so don’t forget to check them out!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Waxing triumphs over shaving in many ways. Not only does it offer longer-lasting results, as it rips the hair out from the roots, but it also eliminates the worry of nicks and cuts that are always present with shaving.

A salon wax also pampers you with smoother, baby-soft skin and lessens that abrasive, itchiness, and stubble feel. Over time, you’ll even notice slower, finer hair regrowth. Bye-bye ingrown hairs, hello gentle exfoliation!

To nail that body wax treatment, grow out your hair a bit so that your BB therapist can trim it down to the appropriate waxing length. Waxing’s also no fun when retinoid creams are in the mix, so ditch those two to five days prior.

Ensure your skin is clean and oil-free before coming in for your waxing session – as mentioned previously, skip the harsh scrubs on waxing day! And if you have sunburnt or ultra-sensitive skin, let your BB therapist know before coming in for a session, or reschedule your session to a later date. We want you to be comfortable, and waxing during these periods can be the opposite of that!

Once you’ve aced your full-body wax, remember to pamper your skin! Slather on a post-wax lotion (we have a selection ready for you at Brazilian Butterfly just for this, too!) to quell inflammation, and use a cold compress to dial down redness and swelling.

Exfoliate your skin a few days after waxing and keep it well-hydrated. Loose, comfy clothes are your best friends now, avoiding friction and irritation. Keep heat, friction, scratching, or touching the treated area at bay for the next 24–48 hours after your session as well. And avoid swimming for the moment! You don’t want chlorinated water or seawater getting into your post-wax pores!
