IPL/Laser Hair Removal - Permanent Hair Reduction

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) & Laser Hair Removal are non-invasive, long-term solutions for unwanted hair, using targeted light energy to disable hair follicles. Compared to shaving/waxing, these treatments offer semi-permanent to permanent reduction with minimal discomfort.

 

Key Benefits

✔ Precision Targeting: Light selectively destroys dark pigment (melanin) in hair

✔ Fast Treatment: Legs (20 mins), Underarms (10 mins), Face (15 mins) per session

✔ Long-Lasting: Up to 90% hair reduction after full course

✔ Skin-Friendly: Reduces ingrown hairs/razor bumps

 

How It Works

1. Light Absorption: Melanin in hair absorbs light, converting it to heat (45-50°C)

2. Follicle Damage: Heat destroys the germinal cells & blood supply (bulb/papilla)

3. Progressive Shedding: Treated hairs fall out over 1-3 weeks

 

Treatment Areas

▶ Face: Upper lip, chin, sideburns

▶ Body: Underarms, arms, legs, bikini line

▶ Men’s: Back, chest, beard shaping
