Permanent Hair Reduction - What Happens During Treatments?

Article Index

The hair above the skin is trimmed away or shaved. You will be asked to wear dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. Next, the IPL hand piece is applied to your skin and pulses of light begin disabling your unwanted hair.

 

The hair in the treated area will appear to continue to grow over a two-week period as it’s is being pushed out of the skin; you will then have a hair free period of an average of 2 to 3 weeks.
