IPL Hair Removal isn’t just for lighter skin; it can be used on darker Asian and African skin.
SkinBase™ IPL emits beams of visible pulsed light onto the skin. This light is absorbed by melanin in the hair and turns into heat energy. Providing there is sufficient melanin in the hair this heat disables the hair follicle so it can no longer produce a hair.
Permanent hair reduction is only possible if the hair is in the anagen growth phase. Only approximately 30% of hairs are in this growth phase at any one time which is why for permanent hair reduction, most areas of the body will need 6 – 8 treatments. This can vary from client to client.
Regular treatments will get the best results. The frequency of treatments depends on the area you’re treating. Typically, for Laser hair removal for Indian, Arabic & Darker skin, we recommend treatments every 4 weeks to remove facial hair, and every 6-8 weeks to remove body hair, with most people requiring between 6 – 12 treatments in total.
