Laser hair Removal
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broad-based light which is different from a laser in that it has multiple wavelengths instead of one single wavelength of light. This means it targets many different things. Usually IPL devices have filters which can narrow the band of wavelengths that are being used to make the device more specific. In general IPLs have wavelengths which target melanin, and these wavelengths are what target the melanin in the hair shaft and the hair follicle to injure and destroy the hair.
- IPL produces positive results for Skin Type V
- IPL produces better results in persons with darker hair color and lighter skin color.
- Long-term studies on effectiveness or safety have not been established so far
- Sometimes the skin pigment cells (melanocytes) can get damaged leaving paler or darker skin patches
May not be very effective on red hair, blonde hair, and white hair
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)-based hair removal is regarded as the most effective and safest in today’s markets. The side effects that may occur when using IPL have been reduced to the maximum extent possible. IPL has been shown to be effective on all types of skin. But results with darker skin or unpigmented hair have not been very satisfying.
