Operation

IPL Hair Removal

Intense pulsed light works by targeting collagen and the follicle root directly. The photonic energy is converted into heat energy, which is absorbed by the melanin in the follicles. This process causes follicle atrophy, resulting in reduced hair growth.

Before Use

1. Shave any unwanted hair first. It is recommended to shave with foam. Be cautious as razors are sharp.
