Illinois Permanent Hair Removal

One the latest developments when it comes to permanent hair removal is IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, hair removal. This approach is similar to laser therapy, but the IPL method doesn't use a laser to accomplish its result. Rather, it uses intense pulsed light to destroy unwanted hair follicles permanently.

Here are some key points to remember regarding IPL treatment:

  • IPL machines work by using wide beams. For this reason, this approach is quite useful in the permanent removal of unwanted hair from larger areas, such as the back, shoulders, arms and legs.
  • Some lasers are effective and safe only for those with light skin and dark hair. With IPL machines, everyone can benefit from permanent follicle removal. It works well on light hair as well as on those with darker complexions.
  • Compared to hair-removal treatments like waxing, IPL offers less discomfort by far. It also offers less risk, scarring or hyperpigmentation.
  • This machine works with rapid speed. It operates just as quickly as if one were to shave the area being treated. Other treatment methods, such as electrolysis, are more time intensive.
  • IPL may be used on virtually any area of the body.
  • The total number of treatments needed for the best long-term result will vary from individual to individual. It hinges on the area that is being treated, the density of the follicles being treated and the hair-growth cycle of the person who is benefiting from the procedure.
