Unwanted hair growth is a common problem for both men and women.

Women often treat hair growth on their face, underarms, bikini line, arms and legs. Men treat their back, shoulders, chest and stomach.

While hairs are exposed to an IPL flash for only a fraction of a second, the energy from the light destroys hair follicles and prevents new hair from growing. However, it’s important that the hair contains sufficient melanin (pigment). Blond, grey and red hair cannot be treated with IPL.

Hairs may only be treated with IPL if they are in their growth phase. This is why several treatments are necessary. This can vary from 6 to 10 treatments depending on in the individual.
