What is IPL Therapy?

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy is a specialised skin treatment that treats a variety of skin conditions all performed on the one machine. The main treatment performed is permanent hair reduction.

Hair removal, how it works!

IPL operates in a pulse burst mode, which administersthe light in a sequence of pulses with a short delay between each one. The delay duration between each pulse plus the added benefit of a cooling mechanism in the hand piece, allows the epidermis to cool, yet the cooling is just enought so as to not prevent the hair follicle to cool. The IPL hand piece sends out the light pulses which target the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle (papilla). When the light reaches its target it is converted into heat and inturn destroys the papilla, blood supply and stem cells in the follicle. The irreversible thermal damage to the hair follicle is sufficient to prevent re-growth.
