What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment?
Intense Pulsed Light hair removal is a new and advanced, long-term hair removal method. The therapist uses a hand piece, over the clients skin. The hand piece produces a beam of filtered light, which is absorbed by the hair. When the pigment in the hair follicle absorbs this light, the energy is converted into a gentle heat. The heat results in the damage of the hair follicle. This causes delayed re-growth of the hair, resulting in permanent destruction of the hair follicle. Intense Pulse Light can also be used at different wavelengths to improve the appearance of aging skin. It can be performed, on the face (not eyes or nose),neck, chest and hands to improve signs of aging.
