IPL, Intense pulse Light releases light in one or more bursts, the light is selectively absorbed by melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy heats the pigment and effectively destroys these chromophores to provide a flawless appearance.

Clients describe the discomfort as moderate and tolerable. Numbing or anaesthetic is not required.

The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be raised but this usually subsides within a few hours.
How many treatments are necessary?
Only hair that is actively growing is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatment is conducted every 4 - 8 weeks, depending on the area treated, until a satisfactory result is seen. The required number of treatments varies, but typically 6 or more treatments are needed for optimum results.
