IPL Hair Removal – What are the Benefits ?

IPL Hair Removal – What are the  Benefits ?



How Does IPL Work?

In a nutshell IPL (intense pulsed light) works by targeting the dark pigment around the hair follicle in order to damage it sufficiently to cause the hair to fall out and inhibit its ability to re-grow.
The dark pigment which is found in both your hair and skin and which determines its colour is known as melanin.
Melanin is particularly dense at the base of the hair root to provide a good target for the powerful pulses of light emitted by the IPL device.
As the light is absorbed by the melanin it produces heat energy and it is this which causes the damage.  The growing hair will fall out between one and two weeks following treatment.



Benefits of IPL for Hair Removal


There are a number of benefits of choosing IPL for your hair removal as opposed to other methods:

Quick and easy - IPL devices have a relatively large treatment window and are able to cover large areas quickly (in comparison to laser or electrolysis). Typically, it is likely to take around 10 - 15 minutes for a whole leg.
No unsightly regrowth - you can shave between treatments and, unlike waxing, epilating or using depilatories, you do not need to allow the hair to grow at all for IPL to be effective.
No Ingrown hair - IPL avoids the risk of ingrown hairs experienced with other methods such as waxing and shaving.
Permanent results - over time, you should see permanently reduce hair re-growth, if you continue with treatments.  The number of treatments required will reduce and the time between treatments increase and hair will be gone permanently.
