IPL Hair Reduction

A professional treatment, Intense Pulsed Light, is highly effective in removing unwanted facial hair. It works to permanently disable the hair follicle preventing regrowth so you don’t need to spend money and time on bleaching or waxing. A course of treatments will be required. The treatment can only permanently get rid of hairs in the anagen phase of hair growth. Only about a third of hairs are in this stage at any one time so getting them all can take a few treatments.
