What is it?

The IPL process uses intense pulsed light to gently remove unwanted hair, leaving your skin looking and feeling smoother and silkier. It utilizes a wide beam to target larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face rather than treating one hair at a time.

Advantages:

• Larger areas may be treated at one time.
• There is less chance for scarring and pigmentation change.
• Less pain and discomfort compared to other hair removal treatments.
• Has long lasting effect
• Can be used on sensitive areas (eg. bikini area, underarms)

How many treatments are needed?

It depends on the area treated, the hair density and your hair's growth cycle. Your hair grows in cycles and many factors influence its growth. Age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, medication and metabolism all play a part in your hair's location, thickness and resilience.

IPL slows the growing capacity of follicles in the growth cycle at the time of the treatment. Since some hair follicles may enter their growth cycle after your treatment, three or four treatments may be required to deliver optimal results. Note: Removing hair does not make it grow back thicker, darker or quicker. The opposite is usually the case. IPL treatments may cause hair to come back slower and thinner.
