IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) works by shots of light travelling down the hair follicle, then the melanin in your skin converts the light into heat, which destroys the hair at the root, starting the process of hair growth prevention.
As hair grows in cycles, one treatment will not be sufficient in significantly reducing hair growth, so a minimum of 6 sessions are recommended to see the best possible results.
The sensation of IPL has been described by clients as feeling like an elastic band snapping at the skin, and so as a treatment it is relatively painless.
With IPL you can expect to rid yourself of unwanted hair with long lasting results, achievable in 6-8 sessions of IPL (minimum recommendation).
When receiving this treatment, you are avoiding causing stress to the skin, pain of waxing and potential break outs that can occur when waxing.
Laser hair removal is similar to IPL, however it’s more accurate and people tend to see better results in a quicker time frame. More on laser hair removal
