Permanent Hair Removal - 5 Reasons to Choose Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Rather Than Laser Depilation
Permanent hair removal is increasingly popular in Montreal and in Canada, as much for women as for men. There are several techniques to permanently remove unwanted hair, among which laser technology is the most widely used. However, a recent technology, which now surpasses laser-based interventions, has recently been developed. Its name: pulsed light hair removal. This technology and laser-type are quite similar, but pulsed light offers many advantages:
Increased efficiency
The pulsed lights systems emit intense light impulsions that are projected into the hair follicle. The follicle's pigment absorbs light, which is then transformed into heat. Such heat releases the hair and prevents the growth of another hair in that follicle. Moreover, since the light pulses actually get into the skin, you don't have to wait for your hair to become visible to schedule your treatment. Thanks to permanent intense pulsed light (IPL), you are free from undesirable body hair almost all the time.
Increased quickness
Pulsed light permanent hair removal is based upon a new medical technology that definitely eliminates hair, up to ten times faster than the laser hair removal method. The process of removing hair follicles, on a woman's legs or a man's back, is completed within 30 minutes. Smaller areas (armpits, upper lip or bikini line) are done even faster!
Increased comfort
Techniques that require pulling out your body hair may be very painful. IPL is virtually painless and no damage will occur to your skin. In fact, most of the clients and reviews admit that pulsed light hair removal treatments are clearly more comfortable than laser.
Increased safety
Pulsed light hair removal diffuses no ultraviolet radiations. This technique thus presents absolutely no cancerogenic risk. In addition, IPL treatments leave your skin perfectly healthy, without any redness nor skin irritation. Results are immediate and medical evidence show practically non-existant side effects.
Increased safety for all skin types
IPL is suitable for all skin types. All body parts may benefit from hair removing treatments, except for the area around the eyes, and all almost painlessly. The most frequent body parts to be treated are:
men's bikini line
women's bikini line
buttocks' separation line
buttocks
armpits
arms
back
chest
abdomen
upper lip
ears
area between eyebrows (glabella)
chin
face
Hopefully these tips will have helped you compare the best treatment solution between laser and intense pulse light hair removal so you can reach your definite sexy and clean look.
