Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Hair Removal is an FDA approved treatment for permanent reduction or removal of unwanted hair. The root of the hair follicle heats up by a light source that causes the hair follicle to die. Large areas can be treated in a short period of time. This is a very cost effective and efficient method of hair removal. There is no down time with this treatment. IPL hair removal typically takes 6-8 treatments and is done every 6 weeks or as recommended by your skincare specialist. Hair grows in three stages, thus we need to allow time between treatments for hair to be in an active growing stage when the treatment is done.
