Removing unwanted hair can sometimes be a pain, not just physically but finding a solution that will work long-term can be painful. For example, shaving is done multiple times a week, and razors are expensive to replace. Waxing is another option; however, it is painful, messy, and inconvenient. As a result of these inconvenient problems, a better solution has become popular over the last few years.
How does IPL work?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal works on the principle of selective photothermolysis. During treatment, a handheld device emits pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft. This absorbed light is converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth.
Hair grows in different cycles and laser and IPL can only treat the hair follicles at a certain stage called the anagen phase.
Does it hurt?
No – however, everyone has different pain tolerances, but in general your skin may feel more sensitive and tight, but should not feel painful.
How many Treatments do I need?
It depends greatly on how coarse the hair is and how many hair per square inch there is – but as a general rule of thumb – between 4 to 7 treatments.
How long between Treatments?
Treatments should be repeated between 4 – 6 weeks apart.
How much does it cost?
