IPL photo-epilation has been performed safely for many years, effectively eliminating dozens of hairs with each pulse in the areas of face, back, legs, bikini line or any other body area.

How does IPL Remove Hair?
Highly controlled flashes of light are absorbed by hair-filled follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which damages or destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle, without damaging the surrounding tissue.

What happens during the treatment?
First, the hair is trimmed away above the skin. Next, a sold gel may be spread over the treatment area. The IPL handpiece is then applied to the skin and pulses of light begin disabling the unwanted hair. When the gel is removed, much of the hair is wiped away also! The remaining hair in the treated area falls out over the next week or two.  

What does a treatment feel like?
Each pulse of light feels like a slight sting or pinch, similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia is required in most cases - most people tolerate the treatment very well.

Is IPL safe for all skin types?
IPL is the first photo-epilation procedure proven to effectively treat unwanted hair on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals such as those of African-American, Hispanic and Asian descent.

What kind of results can I expect?
IPL technology has been proven to create a permanent reduction in the number of regrowing hairs following each treatment in most skin types. The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to your specific type of hair and skin. Your treatment program will be customized specifically for you, along with an estimate of how many treatments you may need.
