Considering IPL Treatment?



Everyone struggles to make a decision about what treatment to go for when it is about your body and your health. Here you have some facts about IPL hair removal.
In order to get optimal results with our IPL hair removal treatment you need to have a hair of 1 to 3milimetres. This allows the light to be caught by the melanine in the hair (and not by the skin) and to travel right to the root of the follicle
The number of sessions that you need depends on the color and thickness of the hair, the skin colour and the area you want to treat. There are other factors that can affect the number of sessions needed such as hormonal states and gender.
After IPL treatment you may get some skin irritation with raised bumps and red colouration around each hair follicle. This is called Perifolliculitis and is typical of this treatment. This normally subsides within hours of the treatment. We recommend the use of a moisturizer lotion with calming effects but also with regenerative-reparative properties like our No+Vello lotion which also contains sun protection factor. This will give your skin the right aftercare and will minimize the undesired effects of this treatment such dry skin and its consequences.
Initially you will need one session every 4-6 weeks but this will be progressively spaced in time as the follicle debilitates and hair takes longer to grow. In the majority of cases the hair reduction is of about 80-85% which means that you will see only few hairs growing, wich take longer to appear and are much thinner. The average number of session is between 6-10 but as mentioned before, this will depend on many factors.
Once the treatment has ended, you will need to come for a “reminder session” about once a year so the results are maintained. Any remaining hair can be removed with traditional methods since it will be very thin, weak and scarce.
