IPL - Wash your skin with light


IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments use an intense burst of light for specific beauty needs. Popular services include: Photo Facials (assisting collagen production), Lightening (removing pigmentation spots) and Permanent Hair Reduction.

What is IPL Permanent Hair Reduction?


IPL Permanent Hair Reduction is achieved when a band of intense light is produced to target, heat and damage hair follicles. IPL is effective when hair is in the anagen or "growing" phase and only a certain proportion is in this phase at any one time. For this reason multiple sessions are needed. This treatment is most effective for people who have dark hair and light skin.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LASER & IPL?


Lasers emit a light source of energy, at a specific wavelength, is absorbed by, and able to destroy specific substances on the surface and under the skin. Thus we need different types of lasers to treat hair follicles, another type of laser machine to treat capillaries and blood vessels, yet another type to best target skin pigmentation and a different laser to improve skin collagen. Generally, lasers don't have effective surface skin cooling. In addition, IPL machines are different to lasers in that they emit a wide spectrum of all the wavelengths of light energy, from 400 to 1200 nm, giving them the versatility to treat a wide range of targets on and under the skin. IPL beauty light provides a single one-pass, and more effective treatment for a diverse combination of permanent hair reduction and all the photo rejuvenation beauty enhancing treatments.
