Laser hair removal works with a laser beam or intense pulsed light (IPL). Lasers are focused beams, whereas IPL uses interspersed flashes. After your first visit you will notice a lot of hair removal, however it takes around 6 visits spaced one month apart to kill as much hair as possible. Hair grows in cycles which is why it is important to keep coming back.
Laser hair removal is the only permanent solution to remove ingrown hairs. Laser is the only treatment which permanently stops ingrown hairs as well as getting rid of hair. Laser treatment stops hair getting trapped under the skin, which is what causes the infection. Bodhi Skin Beauty Wellbeing has the solution to avoid ingrown hair – give us a call today to find out more!
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
The use of IPL dates back 15 years. Light energy is generated by a high output flashlamp and directed through a saphire block in the operator's handpiece towards targets in the skin. This energy is selectively absorbed by pigment - in dark hair or brown skin lesions (freckles) or by small blood vessels.
