What is the difference between IPL and Laser Hair Removal?

IPL or intense pulsed light, is a broadband pulsed light, whereas laser is a single monochromatic light source. IPL and laser technologies both target the melanin in the hair follicle and you can expect permanent hair removal from both.

Is the treatment painful?

Unlike laser hair removal, IPL or intense pulsed light hair removal is generally considered to be much less painful. You may feel a slight tingle in sensitive areas during treatment, but it should not be painful.

Is the hair loss permanent?

With IPL you are destroying hair follicles in the ‘anagen’ hair growth phase. It is possible that hairs that were not in the ‘anagen’ phase during treatment will still grow. We recommend doing maintenance treatments once every 1-2 months as needed.

Which areas of my body can I use my handset on?

How often do I need to use my handset?

We recommend using your handset twice per week for the first two months to see permanent results and then once every 3-6 months as needed for touchup.
