If you’re tired of shaving or waxing, IPL hair removal might be the long-term solution you’ve been looking for. But what exactly is IPL, and how does it work?
Let’s break it down in simple terms.
💡 What Is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Unlike laser hair removal that uses a single wavelength, IPL emits a broad spectrum of light. This light targets melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft, heating and damaging the hair follicle to reduce future hair growth.
🔬 How It Works
-
Light Absorption: The IPL device emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the pigment in hair.
-
Heat Conversion: The absorbed light energy turns into heat.
-
Follicle Disruption: The heat damages the follicle, delaying or stopping future hair growth.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to catch all hairs at the right stage for effective removal.
