What is IPL?

Application example: IPL

IPL is a treatment method for permanent hair removal and stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Application example: IPL gel. Unlike other treatment methods, it does not use a laser but a xenon light source. During treatment, the hair roots are destroyed by light pulses and therefore cannot grow back.

The treatment must be carried out several times because hair can only be destroyed during its growth phase; nevertheless, improvement can already be seen after the first treatment.

One problem with IPL treatments is that, because light hair lacks the protein melanin, it cannot be destroyed by xenon light.

For optimal results and to protect the skin, using a contact medium is recommended. We specifically recommend IPL gel made for laser hair removal, which has both a cooling and conditioning effect.
