Intense Pulsed Light: Moving Beyond Laser Hair Removal Treatment


Did you know that the hot weather in the Middle East is aiding the increasing popularity of hair removal? Not only the hot climate but increasing awareness of personal hygiene and the desire to look well-groomed is making depilatory methods popular amongst both men and women.

Laser hair removal therapy is a safe technique that is less painful than many other methods, including electrolysis. The speed of the treatment is also higher than many other treatments. It ensures permanent hair removal or reduction. The technique is highly effective for removing hair from large areas, such as the legs or back. But the popularity of this method seems to have peaked.

Why are People Losing Interest in Laser Treatment?

Good things come with bad consequences sometimes. Laser is mainly a permanent hair reduction technique that is often confused with permanent hair removal. People can experience side effects like temporary swelling and itching to serious side effects like skin discoloration, infection and burning. Laser mainly targets the pigment, melanin, hence offers better results for people with darker skin. Normally, 6-7 treatments are needed for hair removal. And the top most reason for its decreasing popularity is the cost of the procedures, which can be high.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

The principle behind the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy is the conversion of light energy into heat energy, causing damage only to the specified target area. It targets only the lower layer of the skin which is the dermis, leaving the top layer, known as the epidermis, unaffected. This is what is a major reason for the growing popularity of this method, which is a non-ablative resurfacing technique. Mostly, IPL systems use filters that refine the output of energy for specific areas, thereby enhancing the penetration and targeting of specific chromophores, which are the light absorbing components of the skin.

IPL Therapy for Permanent Hair Reduction

This is the best solution for hair removal from any area, including underarms, face, neck, bikini line, back, legs and chest. Light pulses target the hair follicles, making the hair to fall out and reducing the chances of future hair growth. It is also more effective for light colored hair.

With products using IPL technology, one can get a salon-like experience of hair reduction in the comfort of their home! The light directly falls into the hair follicle, stopping new hair growth at the root. The devices have advance safety features, with a skin color sensor and recessed lamp surface with a built-in skin surface contact sensor to avoid eye injury. It is now possible to enjoy professional hair reduction treatments at home.


However, the easiest and quickest way to groom yourself on a daily basis is to use permanent hair removal products such as Veet Naturals with Camellia Seed Oil Extracts for Sensitive Skin, which are gentle on the skin and take very little time.
