IPL HAIR REMOVAL AND SKIN REJUVENATION
WHAT IS IPL?
​
IPL, which stands for Intense Pulsed Light, is a hair reduction therapy that utilises multiple wavelengths of intense light energy to target hair pigments. This form of intense light therapy converts light energy into heat, which then damages the hair follicle and reduces hair growth. The multi- wavelength technology of IPL is not limited to hair reduction but is also effective in skin rejuvenation and treating sun- damaged skin.
​
IPL and laser therapy are similar in their approach, but the main difference is that IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light energy through a light filter, while laser therapy delivers a single wavelength. Both IPL and lasers are effective methods of treatment and have their respective benefits depending on the individual needs and characteristics of the patient.
