What is IPL hair reduction?

With advancement in technology, light is used for various medical treatments, the latest being Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which is used to reduce excessive and unwanted hair. There is complete destruction of hair follicles with IPL treatment as the light is absorbed by the pigment melanin and heat is generated. Due to this the hair follicles are loosened and cells disabled, preventing new hair growth. This method is extremely safe in the hands of an expert and the pain factor is minimal. You will require multiple sessions, but after just one you will see a difference and find that the hair grows back lighter and finer.

This method follows a similar principle where a laser beam is targeted on the area to be treated. Heat is generated when melanin absorbs the laser beam that is targeted on the hair follicles. Because of the generated heat, hair follicles are destroyed thereby disabling the growth of new hair. You can expect about a 60 to 90 per cent success rate in the areas that have been treated. According to the hair colour, the skin type and the area being treated, the number of sessions will vary from person to person. A 100 per cent success rate is unlikely, yet possible with some people depending on hair and skin type.
