Permanent Hair Reduction uses a quick, safe and virtually without PAIN Intense
Pulsed Light Treatment. It put an end to slow, messy and painful methods
of hair removal. Shaving, waxing, tweezing, depilation and smelly hair removal
creams have been replaced by hair removal in a FLASH OF LIGHT.
Most people seek hair removal for cosmetic reasons simply because they consider
hair growth to be excessive in particular places on their body. They may
feel unattractive or self-conscious, not to mention the social pressures
to have hair free, silky skin. Excessive hair growth from a medical point
of view can be attributed to hirsutism, hereditary factors, endocrine system
abnormalities, hormonal changes and certain medications and disorders.
IPL uses patented intense light energy to safely and effectively eliminate
unwanted hair from all parts of the body. In other words, it is an intense
pulsed light source used for long-term hair removal.
When light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, hair shaft or
the bulb, it raises their temperature to a high enough level to destroy
the targeted hair structures and stunt hair growth. This unique method of
hair removal enables to harness the pulsed light so that it penetrates deeply
enough with sufficient energy to destroy the hair follicles without harming
the surrounding tissue.
High controlled flashes of light are selectively absorbed by hair-filled
follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats
the hair, which damages or destroys the re-growth potential of the follicle.
All without damaging the surrounding tissue.
It begins by shaving away the hair above the skin. A cold gel or a ice pack
is place over the treatment area. The IPL hand-piece is then applied to
your skin and pulses of light begin disabling your unwanted hair.
IPL's unique design offers you customized treatment according to your hair
color, texture and body location. Any hair with at least some pigment in
it (black, brown, red and even blond) can be treated effectively. Note that
is does not remove White / Grey hair.
Treatment is well-tolerated and feels like your finger touching a hot light
bulb for a flash. There is so little discomfort that pain medication is
generally not even necessary.
This method can achieve a permanent effect. Generally, 5to 8 treatment sessions
on one specific area are required for long-lasting results. That's because
hair grows in cycles comprised of 3 phases. It's virtually impossible to
destroy all the hair during the appropriate stage of the hair growth cycle
in one single treatment session. Still, most hair that is destroyed in the
growth phase has been reported to stay at bay for as long as one year. Further,
hair that may come back is usually finer and lighter, creating a very "normal"
and pleasing appearance.
The beauty of the IPL is that it can eliminate hair from all parts of the
body, including the face, neck, arms, legs, chest, back, bikini line, top
to bottom and all the way down to the toes. While hair on different parts
of the body reside at different depths, the broad spectrum of light enables
selection of the wavelength range appropriate for hair follicles residing
at various depths on the body. The same principle applies with respect to
eliminating hair of all colors and densities.
