Hair removal is one of the biggest cosmetic concerns both from women and men. When someone is ready to move away from shaving, plucking, waxing and creams, they usually start searching for more long-lasting or permanent solutions. A kind of laser hair removal we use at Nova Cosmetic Center is IPL or Intense Pulse Light. IPL can treat hair on any part of the body including facial hair.
Most people describe hair removal by IPL as feeling like a rubber band snapping on the skin. This is usually only in more sensitive areas. On less sensitive areas such as the back or legs, the sensation is often described as much less.
Like most other laser hair removal treatments, IPL works best when there is a strong contrast between the skin color and the color of the hair. The best results are seen on people with dark hair on light skin. Unlike other laser treatments, the skin is not affected very much. Some lasers will irritate or slightly damage the skin causing redness and discomfort. IPL is much easier on the skin and allows patients to return to activities immediately.
As a potential laser hair removal patient, you should do your research. There are a lot of options out there for hair removal. By doing your research, you can find the right procedure for you. Many will decide that IPL is the way to go for hair removal based on the results, the speed of recovery and the lack of discomfort.
