Why doesn Intense Pulsed Light remove all the hair at once?
Intense Pulsed Light targets a chemical compound in the hair called melanin, which gives hair its dark pigmentation. Melanin is most prevalent in hair during the anagen phase of hair growth, and hairs in this early stage of growth are most susceptible to treatment. Hair grows in different cycles, usually between 6 and 12 months, and ongoing treatments are needed to catch each hair as it passes through this early-anagen stage of development.
