Ulike IPL, electrolysis is a much slower process. With electrolysis, a needle is actually inserted into each hair follicle. Once inserted, an electric shock burns the follicle to retard growth. IPL hair reduction treatments only use intense pulsed light energy. This unique process is far less painful and unlike the
laser hair removal process, Pulsed Light works equally well on most skin pigmentations without removing any of the pigment.
Pulsed Light treatments are ideal for both large and small body areas on most ethnic groups and skin tones. This advanced technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatments to deliver long-lasting results. Many factors influence hair growth - age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, metabolism, and medication - all play a part in your hair's location, thickness, and resilience. Pulsed Light treatments slow the growing capacity of follicles in the growth cycle at the time of the treatment. Because the Pulsed Light process affects more than one hair at a time, it is possible to treat larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs, and face. And as an added benefit, Pulsed Light treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smoother and silkier.
The number of treatments you may require for optimal long-term benefits depends on the area(s) you wish to have treated, the hair density and the hair's growth cycle. Pulsed Light slows the growing capacity of follicles in the growth cycle at the time of the treatment. Since some hair follicles may enter their growth cycle after your treatment, a minimum of three to five treatments may be required to deliver optimal results. In fact, treatments are sold in a
low cost yearly package which will enable you to have
unlimited treatments.
You can also have other cosmetic procedures, such as a Photo-Facial or Pixel®, done at the same time. Pulsed Light treatments can help clear pigment spots and vascular lesions. Pulsed Light Photo-Facials can target pigmented and vascular lesions to improve skin tone and texture. Dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, spa and salon owners, and other specialists have chosen the power of pulsed light treatments for
permanent hair reduction and Photo-Facial treatments. Pulsed Light Photo-Facials can stimulate collagen, repair sun damage and improve fine lines and wrinkles. Ask one of our consultants about the potential benefits of Pulsed Light treatments for you.
