What is IPL?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a light-based hair removal method that attacks the melanin (pigment) inside the hair, interrupting the hair growth cycle and preventing it from growing back, without damaging the skin.

How does it work?

IPL technology works by transmitting pulses of light through the skin's surface, which are absorbed by the melanin present in the hair shaft. This absorbed light is transformed into heat beneath the skin, directly affecting hair follicles and preventing them from continuing their growth cycle. Over time, the treated hair weakens and falls out naturally, which can occur within a few days to two weeks, depending on the individual. For best results, it is recommended to perform the treatment once a week for eight consecutive weeks, allowing the hair to be reached at different stages of growth. With consistent application, IPL devices can offer visible hair reduction and long-lasting hair removal results.

IPL hair removal is a popular, well-researched, safe, and effective long-term hair removal option. It's safe for home use and safe for skin. That said, we still recommend that users wear their goggles and read the precautions before beginning treatment.
