IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It’s a form of light therapy and one of the most advanced ways to eliminate unwanted body hair. IPL laser hair removal is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth by targeting the hair root or follicle. Light energy is transferred through the skin’s surface and absorbed by the melanin present in the hair shaft. Once absorbed, this lightenergy is converted to heat energy below the skin’s surface, which disables the hair follicle, preventing further growth. The treated hairs fall out naturally over the course of a few days or up to two weeks.
