How does it differ from other hair removal treatments?
As most women know with waxing, hair needs to be grown before treatment which isn’t always convenient, with IPL the area to be treated must be shaved (not waxed or plucked) prior to treatment, as the hair needs to be short for a more successful result. There are also the endless trips to the salon for waxing where as with IPL the results are permanent, so although the IPL costs more initially it will save you much more in the long term. Shaving and depilatory creams as a form of hair removal can lead to uncomfortable rashes, stubble and ingrown hairs, with IPL, hair that does grow back is much finer after each treatment, there are no rashes and IPL will put a stop to those ugly ingrown hairs. Then there is electrolysis a painful and slow time consuming process as the needle has to be inserted into each hair follicle one at a time and is usually charged by the amount of time taken, which, if it is a larger area costs will be high and can take years to get results, IPL treats large areas
