Pain-Free IPL Hair Removal
At SKINLAB, we’re dedicated to delivering advanced, comfortable, and effective hair removal treatments. That’s why we use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, a non-invasive technology designed to target hair follicles safely and efficiently, providing long-lasting hair reduction with minimal discomfort. The IPL system uses controlled, pulsed light that penetrates the skin without harming its surface, ensuring a virtually pain-free experience.
-
Unlike traditional lasers that focus a single wavelength of light, IPL uses multiple wavelengths, providing a broad-spectrum treatment that can address various skin concerns along with hair removal. IPL is less intense than a laser, which allows it to penetrate the skin’s second layer (dermis) while sparing the surface layer, reducing potential skin damage.
Laser emits beams of light, that through the skin reach the target hair follicles. The pigment in the hair shaft absorbs the light. The light destroys the hair shaft and the hair follicle. For all skin types. For almost all hair types. Results in just 6-8 treatments.
Please note that the 2024 calendar is fully booked. We are taking bookings for 2025, so why not join the waiting list.
Benefits of ipl Hair Removal
-
Our IPL hair removal technology is safe, precise, and effective, allowing us to treat even sensitive skin areas with confidence. The light energy targets only the hair follicle, leaving surrounding skin unaffected.
-
IPL therapy offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for permanent hair reduction, saving you time and effort compared to traditional hair removal methods.
-
By targeting the hair at its root, IPL significantly reduces the occurrence of ingrown hairs, especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin prone to irritation from shaving or waxing.
-
With IPL, there’s minimal downtime. You can resume your daily activities immediately, experiencing only slight redness or warmth that quickly subsides.
-
