IPL Hair Removal

IPL Hair Removal-What is it?

IPL machines emit light at specific wavelengths which are absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle (pigment gives hair its colour). Each pulse is just long enough to disrupt the hair follicle. When the pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the
IPL light, energy is converted into heat, resulting in thermal damage to the hair follicle. This thermal damage causes delayed regrowth of the hair or complete permanent destruction of the hair follicle.
SHR (swift hair removal) is a form of IPL technology that uses a lower frequency/energy at a higher pulse rate to heat the follicle slower than traditional IPL treatments. Short pulses are delivered into the dermis using a gliding technique that
ensures full treatment area coverage. This results in a much more comfortable, generally pain-free, quicker treatment. Heating the follicle slower also ensures a safer treatment, especially for darker skin tones.
