Intense Pulsed Light is a technological advancement in non-invasive permanent hair removal. Intense Pulsed Light is not a laser and is commonly referred to in magazines and press as I.P.L. treatment. It is the preferred treatment of choice to affect quick and painless end to the problem of excess, unwanted hair.
Many clinical studies have been carried out demonstrating the efficacy of Intense Pulsed Light. It has an excellent safety profile and has proven efficacy in removing hair from most skin types. It is highly recommended for hair removal of a darker nature although light coloured can also be treated.
The Intense Pulsed Light technique removes hair at the follicle level. A laser dye polymer filter is attached to the hand held apparatus, which transforms non-effective light wave-lengths into the red fluorescent light needed to ensure maximum penetration of the follicle. By destroying hair follicles and the root base, new hairs are prevented from developing and emerging.
The I.P.L. system, which has a proven safety profile, ensures surrounding skin and tissue remain undamaged. Its mode of action concentrates the light waves in areas of pigmentation greater than the surrounding skin. As a result light is concentrated only where it is needed (the hair shaft) before travelling down to the root base. The light emitted is no brighter than a camera flash, thus guarding against injury or damage to the eyes.
Generally a course of 5-6 treatments is required to obtain full permanent hair removal and to ensure the hair follicle does not regenerate.
Individual treatment times will vary due to the number of areas and extent of unwanted hair per area.
It is advisable to have a full consultation to decide the number of treatments you may require, as one treatment will not give the full effect you may be looking for.
Henley Clinic has put together a course of six treatments for each area of the body at special pricing depending upon the extent of the area to be treated.
