WHAT IS IPL (INTENSE PULSED LIGHT)?
How Does it Work?
The light energy is converted to heat, which kills the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This process inhibits or delays future hair growth which shows visible results within just 3 weeks and full results in about 10 weeks depending on the hair thickness.
Moreover ,Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment can also improve the color and texture of the skin without surgery. It can treat some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photo-aging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest .After Using IPL, your skin tone gets more even and you may look younger.
Is It Safe?
There have been numerous clinical studies conducted that demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of IPL for hair removal.
IPL technology has been available in the specialist salon/clinics since early 2000. However, over the last few years, the technology is embedded into a handy device, making it possible to remove the hair effectively anywhere on the body just with in the comfort of one’s home.
Does it hurt?
It doesn’t hurt. One of the biggest advantages of IPL over other forms of hair removal is that it is far less painful. The feeling can be described as a warm sensation on the skin.
Our device went through clinical testing with over 2,000 women to make sure that it felt gentle and easy to use. Most users reported a slight warm sensation with each flash, but that’s all. That’s one of the reasons over 3.5 million women all over the world are now using IPL
To avoid any twinges, it’s best to follow the usage guidelines carefully. Shave the area before using the device and avoid flashing the same area repeatedly. And, as you can imagine, it’s best not to use IPL (or any other hair removal treatment) on broken or irritated skin, tattoos, infections, or burns.
