IPL Permanent Hair Reduction

The intense pulsed light (IPL) technology is the very latest method of permanent hair reduction. A powerful beam of red light is emitted by the IPL machine. The hair absorbs this and the energy transmitted to the hair follicle. The heat generated destroys hair follicles in the growth phase. As only 20-25% of hair follicles are in the growth phase, a course of approximately that are 6 treatments is necessary to see the full benefit.

This method of permanent hair reduction is useful for the treatment of facial and body hair. Treatments are customised to the patients individual hair colour and skin type to obtain optimum results. The best results are seen in the treatment of dark hair on a light skin.
