IPL hair removal

A light-based method that heats hair roots to reduce hair growth over the long term.

IPL (intense pulsed light) uses light pulses absorbed by the pigment in the hair and turned into heat. Over several sessions this reduces hair growth.

Process & limits:

Several sessions a few weeks apart are needed, since only hairs in the growth phase respond. IPL works best on light skin with dark hair. Eye protection, a skin test and proper consultation are part of it.
