IPL PERMANANT HAIR REDUCTION

IPL is able to treat most hair, ranging from medium blonde to black, and also various thicknesses.

IPL delivers excellent results on both facial and body parts. Typically requires a course of 6 – 8 IPL treatments minimum to see hair reduction and to achieve optimal results (however once you have completed the treatment cycle, you can look forward to a lifetime of smooth skin with only the occasional maintenance treatment required)

Our device emits light at specific wavelengths which are absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle (pigment gives hair its colour). The machine is then pulsed for only a fraction of a second and the duration of each pulse is just long enough to disrupt the hair follicle. When the pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the IPL light, energy is converted into heat, resulting in thermal damage to the hair follicle. This thermal damage causes delayed regrowth of the hair or complete permanent destruction of the hair follicle. Is an easy, comfortable and quick solution for removing unwanted hair.
