IPL Treatment - Safe, Effective and Affordable but how does it work?
‍
To achieve long lasting hair reduction, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which individual hairs grow. Well controlled pulses of light penetrate the upper skin layer and are absorbed by one of the body’s own natural chemicals – melanin – in the hair contained in the follicle.
‍
Melanin converts the light energy into heat. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce a new hair. The treatment is only effective on growing hairs as these are still attached to the follicle. The majority of our hair is in the resting phase which explains why more than one treatment is necessary. This technique is called “Selective Photothermolysis”.
‍
Hair grows in three different cycles and long lasting Hair Reduction can only successfully treat hair during its growth stage. Therefore it is often necessary to undergo a course of at least 6-8 treatments ensuring that you leave at least 1-3 months between each session initially, and then only repeat as and when the hair returns.

So what happens immediately after hair removal treatment? Hair still appears to be growing but it detaches itself from the hair folicle.
