64. How does hair removal with IPL work?
- Intense Pulsed Light technology is a popular technology employed by the professional beauty industry to effectively and easily
remove unwanted body hair.
- Intense Pulsed Light provides longer-lasting results while leaving skin smooth and silky. Philips has adapted this popular
technology for at-home use.
- IPL technology works by heating up the hair and root beneath the skin. The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the
released light pulses. The darker the colour of the hair, the more heat can be absorbed. This process stimulates the hair to
go into the resting phase. The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth is inhibited. Hairs can take one or two weeks to
shed. Optimal hair removal cannot be obtained with a single session, since only hairs in the anagen phase are susceptible to
treatment with light. During a treatment, hairs on the treated areas are usually in different stages of the cycle of hair growh.
