IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is light created by a Medical Approved Machine. A handpiece is used to pulse the light through the skin surface. The Light is attracted to the pigment, melanin which is in the hair. As this light is attracted to the melanin in the hair, heat is created at the hair root level, and this disrupts the hair growing cycle causing it to stop growing, So you can have the feeling of silky smooth skin!
We use a Luminex L900 machine that has FDA and CE approval. This machine is widely used in many countries throughout the world with HUGE success. All our Technicians have been trained with a High Degree of Knowledge of how IPL and Laser works on our skin.

Treatment times will vary dependent on the size of the area that is being treated. For example an upper lip procedure can be accomplished within 5 - 10 mins, for each treatment over the course of the treatments.
Why do IPL Hair treatments verses waxing and shaving?
(1) This gives you smooth skin without that prickling feeling the day after from shaving.
(2) NO in grown hair's from waxing.
(3) Over the long term IPL saves you MONEY and TIME. e.g. underarms - say you spend $50 a year on shaving, and you did this from 20-60yrs costing you $2000, you would still have hair! IPL would cost between $300- 500 over a year. - 97% of IPL Recipients of having IPL Hair Treatments performed in the past were very satisfied with the results.
