IPL Hair Reduction (Epilace)

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair reduction works through selective photothermolysis: a broad-spectrum light flash (typically 500–1200 nm filtered to the appropriate range) is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft and transmitted as heat to the follicle's stem cell zone (the bulge region and papilla). Sufficient thermal damage to these structures destroys the follicle's ability to regenerate, producing permanent hair reduction in treated follicles. Because…

During each session, a cooled handpiece delivers controlled pulses; most patients experience a sensation like a rubber band snap. No anaesthesia…
