HOW DOES IPL AND LASER PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION WORK?

IPL and Laser Hair Removal works by harnessing the energy produced by light to target and heat the hair follicles; causing a controlled coagulation that renders the follicle unable to produce new hair growth.

In particular, IPL technology uses a pulsed light of multiple wave lengths to safely target a variety of hair types on light to medium dark skin tones, without damaging the surrounding skin.

IPL and Laser hair removal technology is most effective when treatments are performed during your hair’s ‘growth phase’ and will require a series of sessions (6-12 in general) in order to target the hair at the right time. However, you will notice significant hair reduction after each session.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IPL AND LASER TECHNOLOGY?

While both IPL and Laser technology is used to reduce hair growth, the difference is in the type of light that is used.

Laser utilises a single and focused wave length of light to target the hair follicles at a specific depth. In contrast, IPL utilises a wide beam of multiple wavelengths that pulse down through the skin to target follicles at multiple depths.

As well as having the ability to cover a larger area of hair in a shorter time, our IPL devices can also be adjusted to specifically match different skin and hair types; allowing us to personally customise the most suitable treatment settings for your individual needs.

Furthermore, the broad spectrum light produced by our state-of-the-art, medical grade IPL systems are also effective in treating a variety of different skin concerns, such as pigmentation, age spots and freckles as well superficial thread veins, spider veins and general skin rejuvenation.

IS IPL HAIR REDUCTION PERMANENT?

IPL hair removal will permanently treat all suitable hair follicles in the target area over a course of treatments when performed at the correct intervals as recommended by your IPL Technician.

However, keep in mind that not all hair follicles are in the ‘growth phase’ at the same time, and some follicles can actually lay dormant for up to 12 months before producing new hair. Also, hormonal changes and medications can also activate previously dormant hair follicles to begin producing a small amount of hair.

In general, a target of 80% reduction of existing, treatable hair is considered baseline after your initial sessions; with some yearly maintenance or touch up sessions recommended in order to treat any active follicles that may appear from time to time.
