What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?

IPL is a multi-purpose technology for skin rejuvenation as well as hair reduction.

IPL hair removal devises offer a more advanced form of laser hair removal. They offer a safe and clinically proven way to permanently reduce hair on the face and body. 

The device uses visible light (laser) from the device which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and converted to heat, permanently destroying the hair follicle.

How does laser hair removal work?

Hair-filled follicles lying below the surface of the skin selectively absorb highly controlled Laser energy. The absorbed light heats up the hair, which damages or destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle.  All without damaging the surrounding tissue.

How does IPL work?

A cold gel (similar to ultrasound gel) will be spread over the treatment area. You will be asked to wear dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. The Laser hand piece is then applied to your skin and pulses of light begin disabling your unwanted hair.  When the gel is removed, much of the hair is wiped off with it. The remaining hair in the treated area falls out over the next week or two.

​Each pulse of light feels like a slight sting or pinch, similar to the snap of a rubber band.  No local anesthesia is required and most people tolerate the treatment well.

Can all hair be treated?

Any hair with at least some pigment in it (black, brown, red and even blonde) can be treated effectively.

These laser hair removal devices really do work and can be used at home too.
