IPL Hair Removal
IPL hair removal makes use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to remove unwanted hair from the body. IPL devices are not really lasers, though these can be considered as the “equivalents” of lasers. Laser and IPL hair removal use the process called selective photothermolysis to remove unwanted body and facial hair.
It is a known fact that devices for IPL are more difficult to operate than the laser devices. IPL procedure would also need highly skilled and experienced technician to precisely do the job. This is the recommended procedure for all skin types and shades, and for all types of hair, except those which are unpigmented. Sources indicate that IPL will yield positive results on Skin Type V, though it produces better results in those of lighter skin color with darker hair.
Advantages of IPL
IPL hair removal has known advantages, as it can handle any skin type. The procedure is customizable according to one’s skin type, hair color and depth of hair follicles. In using IPL, the surrounding skin will not be potentially injured, though there are no established studies yet on the efficacy and safety of the procedure in patients.
There are malonyctes or skin pigment cells which could possibly get damaged, that can leave either darker or paler patches on the skin. IPL might not be that effective on blonde, white, or red hair. There are different devices that are used for IPL hair removal procedures and the more popular ones are Quantum, PhotoDerm, Aculight, EpiLight, Aculight and Vasculight.
