What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment?
Intense Pulsed Light hair removal is a new and advanced, long-term hair removal method. The therapist uses a hand piece, over the clients skin. The hand piece produces a beam of filtered light, which is absorbed by the hair. When the pigment in the hair follicle absorbs this light, the energy is converted into a gentle heat. The heat results in the damage of the hair follicle. This causes delayed re-growth of the hair, resulting in permanent destruction of the hair follicle.
Intense Pulse Light can also be used at different wavelengths to improve the appearance of aging skin. It can be performed, on the face (not eyes or nose),neck, chest and hands to improve signs of aging.

In a nutshell, the therapist spreads an amount of cooling gel thinly over the area to be treated. Then the optical head is guided over this area and light flashes are instantaneously discharged on the skin. The whole area is covered in the same manner. A typical treatment session takes 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Clients should be made aware that they may feel a slight discomfort but that quickly disappears after treatment. Furthermore a mild to moderate redness immediately after treatment that normally disappears after 24 hours maximum may occur. A temporary increase or decrease in skin pigmentation may also occur.

Larger area such as a pair of legs can take up to half an hour but usually nearer to the twenty minutes. How many treatments will a client need?
Four to six treatments on average. This of course depends on several factors such as the clients hair growth and skin type. Intense Pulse Light disables hair follicles in the active stage of hair growth cycle. The follicles in the dormant stage are not affected by the Intense Pulse Light but when they become active will be treated at the subsequent treatments.

What is the difference between laser and Intense Pulse Light?
Laser is a single color of light, which means all the rays are the same wavelength. There are a number of different lasers used for hair removal. Their effectiveness varies with what the wavelength is. Some lasers are very effective, others are not so good, which is why one hears a lot of variation in results.
Intense Pulsed Light is broad spectrum light, made up of a range of wavelengths and colors. This range means one can treat more hair types effectively, with more consistent results. Besides removing hair from face and all body areas, Intense Pulsed Light has other uses. It can treat sun damage, pigmentation on face, hands and chests, small blood vessels and diffuse redness found on the face and chest.

The size of an IPL optical window (spot size) is much larger than the laser equivalent and therefore covers a much larger area per flash.
