Regular hair removal and the frequent appearance of small but conspicuous hair is a problem known to the pain of every lady. Hair removal in some areas of the female body is definitely something that should not be compromised. The variety of methods available on the market today can easily confuse a woman what is best for her. Today, we will introduce you to IPL (intense pulsed light) as a method and the opportunity to do it at home by yourself.

What do we know about IPL?

In IPL, light is selectively absorbed from the stem and the hair follicle by means of devices that emit intense pulsed light (IPL technology) with a spectrum of 515-1200 nm.

Two methods of hair removal:

1. In IPL, the procedure is applied in the hair growth phase to be effective. At some point in the anagen (active growth) phase there are about 20-30% of the hairs on the human body in different areas, and the rest are in the resting phase, which determines the need for several consecutive procedures at regular intervals. The technology and attachments are designed to prevent thermal damage to the surrounding skin. A series of light filters are used, providing a wide range of lengths, which allows to make the right choice of wavelength, depending on the color of the skin and hair (the darker and denser the hair, the faster and the effect of IPL is good).

2. In laser hair removal, the laser photons are absorbed by the hair shafts and more precisely by the pigment substance in the hair - melanin. Heating and the resulting heat destroy the follicle and then it is almost impossible for a new one to appear in its place. It can be applied on the body and face. One of the most efficient and popular lasers on the market is the diode laser, which has a wavelength of 808 nm.

Why choose IPL?

Undoubtedly, undergoing both types of hair removal requires perseverance and patience for lasting results. IPL procedures are done more often because the technology of work requires it. The best time for IPL is spring or late summer, but you should know that your skin should not have a tan.

Regarding the lasting results, the figures show the following:

  • In most women, IPL leads to the permanent removal of about 85% of the hair.
  • The hairs, which begin to appear after 9-12 months, depending on the skin, grow more slowly, are much weaker and thinner and are removed in one course.

The best answer for the most frequently asked question "How many procedures are needed to achieve such results?" would be: Each woman is different, depending on their individual characteristics and the area being worked on. But if we have to set certain limits, they will vary in the range between 3 - 8 procedures and a little more for ladies and between 10 - 13 for gentlemen.

How to prepare before a hair removal procedure?

  • Do not lubricate your skin with lotions and creams before using the photoepilator.
  • Consult with a doctor or beautician before applying moisturizer in the areas to which IPL is applied.
  • The cream should not contain alcohol, essential oils or other substances that can irritate your skin.
  • Do not visit the solarium for about 3 weeks after each procedure, strictly control sun exposure and be sure to use a high-factor sunscreen.

The pain depends on the tolerance threshold of each lady. But according to most women it is not painful, rather there is a tingling sensation during the procedure and this may increase in more sensitive areas or in places where the hair are larger and darker.
