IPL Hair Removal

Eliminate Unwanted Hair with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™)

With the IPL ™ Hair Removal System, unwanted hair can be gently removed with a flash of light. Whether on the face, back, legs, bikini line or just about anywhere, IPL™ Hair Removal System safely and effectively eliminates stubborn and annoying hairs.

For millions of men and women who suffer from unwanted hair, this is a dream come true!

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) is the next generation in effective hair removal and skin rejuvenation technology.

Traditionally, most cosmetic procedures have been associated with lasers. As technology has progressed, research has shown that Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™), is regularly producing better results than the laser units originally available.

Pulsed Light units are non-laser, emitting light across a broad range of wavelengths that are preferentially absorbed by the appropriate structure in the skin.

IPL™ removes hair

IPL™ uses pulsed light to remove hair and impair hair regrowth. First, a cool gel, then a hand-held treatment unit is gently applied to the skin that disables hundreds of hair folllicles simultaneously. Actively growing hair in the treated area falls out within a week or two.

Benefits of IPL™ Hair Removal

The IPL process uses intense pulsed light to gently remove unwanted hair, putting an end to routine shaving and waxing. IPL™ treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smoother and silkier. This patented technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatments to deliver long lasting results. IPL's wide beam treats larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face rather than treating one hair at a time. Best of all, IPL™ treatments are a safe, fast, gentle and effective alternative method for hair removal.

  • Larger areas may be treated at one time.
  • It works best with dark hair on light skin.
  • There is less chance for scarring and pigmentation change.
  • Less pain and discomfort compared to other hair removal treatments.
  • Combines the speed of shaving with the lasting results promised by electrolysis.
  • IPL™ is effective on almost any area of the body where smoother, younger-looking hair-free skin is desired.
