Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser hair removal is a clinically proven, safe and effective, long-term removal of unwanted hair across various areas of your body.
While traditional methods of hair removal such as waxing and shaving, are short-term and can often lead to ingrown hairs, IPL and laser hair removal yields longer-lasting results.
Laser and IPL targets the pigment (melanin) in your hair, effectively destroying the hair follicle and causing it to fall away without damaging the surrounding cells. Treatment is safe and virtually painless, leaving your skin smooth and hair-free.
IPL is best suited to a lighter skin tone; however our laser machine can treat any skin type thanks to the two laser systems – a 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a high powered 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. The addition of the YAG laser allows us to treat patients of darker skin types.
The treatment is only effective on growing hairs, because they are still attached to the follicle. Hair grows in cycles and the majority of it is in a resting phase. Therefore, a minimum course of 6 sessions is recommended to capture the different growing cycles. IPL and laser hair removal is most successful on dark hairs.
