IPL process uses intense pulsed light to gently remove unwanted hair, putting an end to routine shaving and waxing and leaving your skin looking and feeling smoother than ever. IPL therapy is great for individuals with a hectic schedule. The treatment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes and the recovery time needed is almost none, with very little visible side effects present after the treatment. IPL's wide beam treats larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face rather than treating one hair at a time. IPL treatments are a safe, fast, gentle and effective alternative method for hair removal.
