What is IPL Hair Removal?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal uses light energy to target and damage hair follicles, leading to long-term hair reduction. It works best on dark hair and light skin, requires shaving the treatment area beforehand, and involves a series of sessions to achieve results. The process is safe for home use, non-invasive, and generally painless.  

How it Works?

1. Light Absorption:

IPL devices emit flashes of light that are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair. 

2. Follicle Damage:

This light energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicle and hindering its ability to regrow hair. 

3. Hair Reduction:

Over time, repeated treatments cause hair to grow back thinner and slower, with results becoming noticeable after a few weeks and leading to long-term reduction. 

Who is it for? 

Skin and Hair Type: IPL is most effective on lighter skin with darker hair, as the pigment contrast is essential for the light to target the follicle. It is not effective on white, blonde, grey, or red hair due to the lack of melanin.

Key Benefits:

Long-Term Hair Reduction: Provides a more permanent solution to unwanted hair compared to traditional methods. 

Reduced Irritation: As it's non-invasive, IPL reduces the risk of irritation or ingrown hairs. 

Convenience: Can be used at home, making it a convenient alternative to clinic-based treatments.
