IPL or Intense Pulsed Light uses various light frequencies to target pigmentation in the hair. We use the top of the line Energist machine in our spas which is a highly powered machine offering great results. Takapuna, Ponsonby and Remuera have very experienced therapists who specialize in IPL. If you are comparing prices for IPL services, it is important to understand that a lesser quality machine may be cheaper in price, but you may well require more treatments so it may not be cheaper in the long run.
Permanent Hair Reduction: The light output from the applicator is preferentially absorbed by the melanin (colour) in the hair. This then heats up the hair follicle and disables the hair germination cells so it cannot grow back. Most clients require 4-6 treatments, usually 4 weeks apart as hair grows in cycles. Each cycle IPL deals to the hair that is present at that time, so it can vary between individuals. An annual maintenance treatment is sometimes required.
This is permanent hair reduction. While it is more expensive initially than waxing, once you have had your course of treatments you will only need the occasional maintenance treatment.
