Illinois Laser Hair Removal Prices

Hair removal has a long history. Even newer forms, like electrolysis, have been in use for over 100 years. The newest technique, though, and the one garnering a lot of attention, is laser hair removal, specifically with Intense Pulsed Light instead of standard lasers. Because the technology is still new, and the procedure should be performed by a licensed professional, it can be costly, but many people feel the long-term effects are worth the price.

Intense Pulsed Light Technology Is Now Used for Hair Removal

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a new technology that has multiple applications. Because the procedure targets melanin, it can be used to reduce age spots. It also diminishes the appearance of unsightly veins. The most recent application of the technology is in the area of laser hair removal. Because a hair's root bulb is generally rich in melanin (more than in the shaft), the machine can target the root and damage the follicle to the point where it can no longer grow. It removes unwanted growth and diminishes the likelihood that it will return.

Not all IPL machines are approved for all uses, though. Concerned patients should check with the FDA to see whether the machines used by the spa or salon have been approved for hair removal.
