Introduction
Intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal has become a popular alternative to shaving and waxing. But how does this technology work? Is it truly effective and safe? In this article, we explain everything you need to know about IPL hair removal.
What is IPL hair removal?
IPL ( Intense Pulsed Light ) is a technology that uses flashes of light to target the hair pigment, melanin. This light is converted into heat, which gradually weakens the hair follicle and slows hair regrowth. Over time, the hair becomes finer, sparser, and eventually disappears.
How does an IPL hair remover work?
-
Light flash emission : The device emits a light pulse that passes through the skin.
-
Absorption by melanin : Light is absorbed by the hair, which heats its bulb.
-
Weakening of the follicle : Heat gradually slows down hair regrowth.
-
Repeated sessions : The effect is progressive, several sessions are required to achieve lasting hair reduction.
