Is laser/IPL hair removal permanent?
Results vary; actively growing hair follicles will be destroyed. Our lasers/IPL produce permanent hair reduction although we prefer to call it long lasting. As with all depilation methods, we cannot give any guarantee as the laser/IPL will only affect actively growing follicles and has no effect on dormant or “resting” hair follicles. Therefore, it is always possible that new hair growth may take place from hair follicles not currently growing. It is also accepted now that some hairs are not destroyed but convert from a terminal (thick dark, noticeable) hair to a vellus (fine, blonde unnoticeable) hair.
