SAY GOODBYE TO DAILY SHAVING

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Like laser, IPL Hair Removal provides permanent visible hair reduction, keeping you hair-free for longer by breaking the cycle of hair growth. - Light energy is transferred through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by the melanin present in the hair shaft. - The absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle preventing further growth. - Treated hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks.

Similar, but not quite! - Laser uses a single spectrum of concentrated light in one single colour - IPL uses a much broader spectrum of light in various colours Both methods target the melanin in the hair follicle, and can provide long-lasting results.

With regular maintenance treatments to catch any pesky new hairs – yes! IPL will continue to prevent regrowth as long as you keep treating regularly. As for ALL home-use IPL or laser treatments (don’t believe anyone who would tell you otherwise), one treatment won’t last forever and it’s crucial that you stay on top of top-ups.

IPL has been thoroughly tested for efficacy (that’s ability to produce the desired effect) and, of course, safety – for use on both the face and body. As long as it IPL used in accordance with the instruction manual, you shouldn’t experience any adverse side effects.

Not usually. Most people describe the sensation of IPL as warm flick against the skin but this can vary person to person, and between treatment areas.

Due to the way the technology itself works, IPL isn’t suitable for the darkest skin tones, or Fitzpatrick skin tone 6. IPL is also not recommended for use on red, grey or very light (blonde) hair. Take a quick look at the chart to find out whether you’re suitable.
