The benefits of IPL hair removal

Unwanted hair growth is a problem that many women suffer from. Think of places like the face, on the neck, on the chest and on the arms and legs. This can be very annoying because you have to constantly shave, epilate, wax or wax, which in turn causes ingrown hairs or irritation that can cause bumps, redness and pimples. If you suffer from unwanted hair growth, you naturally want the hair to stay away for as long as possible. This can be done, for example, by means of IPL hair removal. IPL has many advantages. We list them here.

What is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. IPL hair removal uses a flash lamp that gives a powerful flash light. The heat from this flash light can be absorbed by pigment. When the hair absorbs the flash light, the hair follicle will be damaged.

The benefits of IPL

It is effective
IPL is one of the newest techniques for long-term hair removal. If you repeat the treatment regularly (once every 4-8 weeks), you will have smooth and silky skin for up to two months. You no longer have to remove hair weekly or daily and you no longer have to worry about visible hair growth.

You do not suffer from ingrown hairs
Unlike waxing, shaving and epilation, you do not get painful and unsightly ingrown hairs with IPL hair removal. Also cuts or irritation from a razor are gone.

You can do it yourself at home
Many clinics offer IPL hair removal, but there are also devices on the market that allow you to perform hair removal at home with IPL. In the end, the costs are lower and you do not need the house every time it is needed.

It's safe
With IPL hair removal you can safely remove unwanted hair without worrying that it will harm your skin. It is important that you read the user manual of the device and follow the instructions and safety regulations carefully, if you do it yourself at home.
If you choose a clinic, choose a specialist.

It's fast
IPL treatment is fast, although speed depends on the size of the area to be treated.
Think from just a few minutes for small areas to about half an hour for larger areas. You can also think of the time you save by not having to shave or epilate every day or several times a week, or by waxing or waxing regularly.

It is suitable for different skin types
IPL hair removal can be applied to a wide variety of hair and skin types. IPL works on naturally dark blond, brown and black hair and on skin tones that vary from light to dark brown. IPL hair removal is not suitable for treating white, gray, light blond or red hair, nor is it suitable for very dark skin.
