FAQs

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses light energy to target hair follicles beneath the skin's surface. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, converting to heat, which disrupts the follicle's growth cycle. Over time, this leads to a significant reduction in hair growth.

IPL works best on lighter skin tones with dark hair due to the contrast that allows the light to target the melanin effectively. Please refer to our skin tone and hair color compatibility chart to see if IPL is suitable for you.
