IPL – Permanent Hair Reduction

Intense Pulse Light

Experience remarkable unwanted hair reduction with GLB-IPL. GLB-IPL offers you the very latest in Gold Wave Technology which makes the treatments less painful, more results orientated and quicker. The pulses of light produced by the GLB-IPL are very short in duration, so discomfort and damage to non targeted tissue is minor. The light that emanates from the GLB-IPL wand is filtered to remove any UV components.

How IPL works

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal permanently reduces unwanted body or facial hair. The IPL energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair and transmitted down the hair shaft, disrupting the hair root growth mechanism. The IPL disrupts the hairs that are principally in the active growth phase at the time of the treatment.

Treatment course

IPL treatment impairs the growth of hair follicles when they are in the growth cycle at the time of the treatment. Unfortunately, not all hair follicles are at this stage at the same time. Therefore, for effective permanent hair reduction, most people require approximately 4 – 8 treatments spaced between 3 and 6 weeks apart to achieve the desired results.

Results vary depending on skin and hair type. Studies have shown that many patients can achieve permanent hair reduction of up to 85-95% and remaining hair returns lighter & softer.

Is the treatment painful

This is a common initial concern. Our GLB-IPL uses a special ice tip cooling system that lowers the temperature of the skin at the treatment site before, during, and after IPL treatments. Therefore, the treatment is generally not painful and is well tolerated.

Pre Treatment Care

Before you come for your treatment, SHAVE or use clippers on the area to be treated. The hair should be a maximum of 1 mm long. (DO NOT WAX or EPILATE)

Post Treatment Care

The area treated could feel hot and a little red. A cold compress can be used to cool and sooth the area. Completely cover or use an SPF 30+ on the treated area for 4- 7 days after treatment. Avoid direct sunlight where possible as pigmentation may occur.
