IPL machine is an advanced technology to treat unwanted hairs and reduce the spot on the skin. IPL procedure is non-invasive and non-surgical, it has no downtime and safe for all skin types. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is a type of light treatment that uses strong pulses of light to stimulate or treat various issues within the skin. IPL has a wide scope of application for medical clinics, spas and even for home use.
Unlike lasers, IPL is a wide spectrum and the wavelength is from 400nm to 1200nm. The wavelength decides the IPL machine could treat a lot of skin lesions, such as hair removal, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation removal, acne treatment and vascular lesions. As these wavelengths are worked on the skin, the light is unable to distinguish between the chromophores within the skin. It works by progressively reducing the re-growth of hair by applying gentle pulses of light to heat to the hair root (hair follicle).
IPL delivers wavelengths of light which is attracted to the contrast of dark hair on light skin. After the light is absorbed, which transfers the heat to the hair follicle, causing it to burn and damage. Because of hair has a growth cycle, we need multiple treatments to remove the hair clearly. Although the effect is not instant, and requires multiple treatments, it is a permanent solution to hair reduction and a valuable investment. Permanent results will be visible two to three months after treatment, when a lot of your body hair isn’t growing back.
