If you are looking for a procedure to remove body hair permanently, then Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) remains your best bet. IPL removes unwanted or excessive hair from the body and is an ideal treatment for both men and women. The therapist performing the IPL hair removal treatment uses an extremely safe and effective Palomar machine that emits quick, focused and powerful flashes of light that effectively destroys the root of the hair.




IPL Treatment is Absolutely Safe


The Palomar machine that is used for hair removal delivers a short and intense burst of light to the area needing treatment. The light is diffused in nature and is of scattered wavelength instead of concentrated lasers that may result in burn or damage to the skin. The light being used is broad-spectrum, it is non-invasive in nature, and there is no need for anaesthesia or incisions on the treatment area while performing the procedure. So there is no chance of bleeding in IPL. No doubt, IPL treatment is less risky and takes less time compared to waxing or shaving of hair.


IPL Treatment is Highly Effective


People looking for a reduction or permanent removal of hair will find IPL treatment an excellent choice. The emitted light by the Palomar device during the treatment penetrates deep within the skin, as it targets the melanin without doing any harm to the surrounding tissues. On reaching the root of the hair, the light heats the root shaft, and damages the follicle, leaving the hair to fall on its own. This causes a break of the hair growth cycle, preventing further growth of hair for a long time. Although IPL uses a light source that is a variation of that used in most laser treatments, the difference lies in that IPL uses a broad-spectrum of visible light that does not have the laser properties. The good thing about IPL treatment is that it is possible to remove hair on much larger areas of skin compared to other methods of hair removal.


IPL Treatment Has No Side Effects


Patients who have undergone IPL treatment for removing hair reported no pain of any kind. The skin may feel a slight burning sensation, but there is no swelling, irritation, bruising, or scaling of the treated area. This is due because the low level of light emitted by the Palomar device does not cause any harm to any layers of tissues of the skin.


Saves time


The busy and hectic lifestyle makes it challenging to find a suitable time to shave or wax. An easy choice remains to book an appointment with a clinic like Affable Treatments, a trusted clinic for permanent hair removal in Croydon for long-lasting results. As there is no downtime involved, you can get IPL treatment in your lunchtime and can get back to your regular schedule soon after the procedure.
