Once you undergo IPL treatment, you should know that your hair will not disappear immediately afterwards. While this treatment destroys the hair follicle, the hair shaft still needs to be detached. This process usually takes about two weeks. Once the final hair falls out, another one will never grow back.
It is important to note that full hair removal is very unlikely in a single session. Generally, most customers require around six treatments, however, this depends on hair color, thickness and skin color.
IPL
targets hair in the active growth phase and you should expect a reduction of 10 to 25 percent per treatment. This is because IPL transmits energy through the skin and energy is absorbed by pigments in the hair shaft and transmitted to the follicle.We found that IPL is most effective in customers with dark hair and fair skin. This is why we recommend doing IPL treatments in the winter months, when hair is less likely to fade in the sun and the skin is less likely to tan. After six sessions, you can expect a permanent reduction of 70% of the hair. In addition, since IPL works by killing the follicle, it's not necessary to allow hair to grow before treatment.
You should shave (not wax or epilate) the day or day before the treatment. Results may vary slightly from person to person, but generally speaking, an IPL hair removal treatment will provide you with long-lasting results. Most people experience 30-80%, but can achieve up to 90% reduction in hair growth after several continuous sessions. When used specifically for hair removal, IPL typically requires six to eight treatments to see complete removal in an area.
It uses broad-spectrum light to remove unwanted hair and skin imperfections such as acne, broken blood vessels and other cosmetic problems. Experiments were conducted to measure its effectiveness with the first IPL system approved for use in the US in the mid-90s. At home IPL treatments are not as potent as clinical ones, so you will have to hold sessions more often. Shaving and hair removal simply removes hair from the surface of the skin, while IPL treatments use focused light energy to destroy hair in the follicles.
Each session is based on the progress of the previous one, so you should plan at least five treatments for best results.
