How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?
IPL or intense pulsed light hair removal draws on the science of light for permanent hair reduction, with astounding results. The IPL device emits multiple wavelengths of light, which the pigments in the hairs called melanin absorb, destroying the hair follicles without any harm to the surrounding skin. The successfully damaged hair follicles can no longer produce new hairs, leaving you with permanent hair reduction results.
IPL hair removal is safe and effective for use on most skin types and most areas of the body. It works best for men and women with dark hair and light skin. IPL hair removal is not ideal for blonde, red, gray, or white hair because there isn't enough pigment to absorb the light energy that destroys the hair follicles. Moreover, darker skin has more melanin, increasing the risk of discoloration.
IPL hair removal can only destroy hair follicles during the growth phase, so most individuals require 6-10 treatment sessions scheduled 4-6 weeks apart for the best results. The number of sessions needed will depend on your hair and skin type and the treatment area.
What is Laser Hair Removal (ND:YAG)?
At Restorative MediSpa, we use ND:YAG Laser Hair Removal. This this is a cosmetic procedure that uses a specific type of laser called Nd:YAG to remove unwanted hair from the body. This type of laser works by emitting a beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, which damages the follicles and prevents future hair growth.
ND:YAG Lasers are particularly effective for people with darker skin tones, as they can target the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. The procedure involves a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the desired results. While ND:YAG laser hair removal is generally safe and effective, it is important to follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions to minimize the risk of complications.
