Everything you need to know about IPL Hair removal

 

IPL hair removal has become a common word around town. So if you are considering this as a way to remove your body hair, and are looking for answers to your questions, here we have everything that you need to know!

 

What exactly is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light is a type of light treatment that uses, as the name suggests, intense pulsed light to stimulate and treat your skin. IPL and laser work on the same principle - of directing light at the pigmentation (melanin) in your hair, to damage or kill the cells in it and stop the hair from growing. People use it to reduce signs of aging as well as reduce blemishes on their skin!

How is it different from Laser Hair Removal?

IPL uses multiple wavelengths of energy to remove your hair, while Laser uses a single wavelength of light energy. This means that you can treat a larger area with IPL in a shorter time, than with Laser. Laser hair removal works on all skin tones while IPL doesnt work on dark skin tones. Laser hair removal requires you to go to a professional and have sessions to get them removed, however IPL can be done at the comfort of your home.

Does IPL hurt?

The sensation of IPL is that of mild tingling across your arm, as you move it. There are devices (like the Smoothskin - keep reading to know more) that have different power modes that you can change, based on your pain threshold that day! Moreover, the best IPL devices work quickly, so you won't sense the tingling or the pain for long!

How long does IPL take?

Your hair has a cycle just like your skin! It has a growth, a rest, and a shedding phase. That's why you require repeat treatments with IPL and laser because not all the hair on your body is at the same phase of the cycle at the same time. So, when you are looking to get rid of them permanently, you have to repeat the cycle as per the requirement of the device to give yourself smooth and hairless skin.
