Intense pulse light treatment for hair removal
What IPL is and how it works
With a wavelength spectrum of 420nm – 1200nm, IPL (Intense Pulse Light) is a type of intensive broadband and incoherent light. IPL utilises the skin’s selective absorption and photothermolysis of light sources to provide a wide range of non-invasive applications. There are several benefits offered by this popular aesthetic practice:
- IPL Permanent Hair Removal
- IPL Acne Management
- IPL Vascular Therapy
- IPL Photo Rejuvenation
- IPL Pigmentation Correction
IPL uses a broader spectrum of light than laser, so it can deliver a broader range of aesthetic treatments and treat a broader range of hair colours and skin types. In addition, IPL is much more rapid and cost-effective than laser because it treats a much larger area of skin per light pulse.
Permanent Hair Removal
When operating an IPL machine to remove hair, a specific wavelength of light is emitted which is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicles.When operating an IPL machine to remove hair, a specific wavelength of light is emitted which is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicles. Each pulse of the machine lasts only a fraction of a second, which is just long enough to disrupt the hair follicles. IPL light absorbs the pigment in the hair follicle, converting energy into heat. This causes thermal damage to the hair follicle. Hair follicles are permanently destroyed or delayed from growing again as a result of thermal damage.
IPL machines can be used to reduce hair professionally in the following ways:
- Unwanted hair can be removed easily, comfortably, and quickly with this method.
- Offers excellent results both on the face and on the body.
- A course of 6 – 8 IPL treatments is typically required for optimal results (although once the client has finished the treatment cycle, they can continue). With occasional maintenance, you can look forward to a lifetime of smooth skin.
- In comparison to waxing, shaving, and tweezing, laser hair removal remains a popular and cost-effective solution.
Vascular Therapy
IPL treatment is a fast, effective solution for people suffering from unsightly veins, a problem that affects more than 60% of the adult population.
By releasing precisely controlled pulses of filtered light, IPL treats vascular concerns by rapidly heating blood vessels to a point where they are destroyed. The vessels are rapidly cleared and reabsorbed by the body, leaving little to no trace of the original lesion.
IPL machines allow salons, spas, clinics and practices to offer treatments aimed at reducing facial vascular blemishes like red flushing (rosacea), thread veins and red spots on the cheeks and nose. After the procedure, clients can resume their daily routine as usual with no downtime required. Clients will be assessed on a case-by-case basis during the consultation, but four to six treatments spaced two to three weeks apart are typically required to achieve optimal results.
Acne Management
The use of blue light during IPL acne treatment can reduce acne and scarring by targeting acid bacillus bacteria, while leaving healthy skin tissue unaffected.
The majority of acne can be treated without leaving a trace of the original mark. Acne treatment using IPL technology is designed to reduce the overall production of oil that leads to acne and reduce the appearance of blemishes and enlarged pores while reducing the chance of blemishes.
To allow the skin’s natural regeneration cycle to play a role in treatment, IPL Acne Management treatments should be spaced approximately 1 – 2 weeks apart.
Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation is one of the most commonly requested IPL treatments to treat dull, ageing, and damaged skin. As a result of this procedure, IPL systems release filtered light pulses that are precisely controlled and stimulate the affected area. Collagen and elastin are produced by fibroblasts within the skin. A smoother, more uniform complexion is achieved by increasing the radiance and tightness of the skin as well as controlling enlarged pores.
Everyone loves the sunshine – and while limited exposure is beneficial for Vitamin D absorption and general vitality, the immediate effects such as tanning have long term consequences. The sun decreases collagen production over time, resulting in lines, wrinkles, redness, and uneven skin tone by weakening cell structures. By stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin, IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatments allow the skin to be refined and rejuvenated for a smoother, healthier, younger appearance.
Pigmentation Correction
By using IPL technology, freckles, sun spots, and liver spots can be treated by precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by melanin. When the pigmented area absorbs the light, it is heated to the point that the skin regenerates itself with fresh and healthy cells. A pigmented area will become darker following treatment, and crusting will occur as a result. After a few weeks, the pigmented area will gradually flake off, leaving little trace of its original appearance.
The IPL machine is the most effective and professional tool for treating sun spots, freckles, and discolourations of the skin, whether they are born with them or acquired over the course of a lifetime. Optimal results will be achieved with a series of four to six treatments spaced four weeks apart. Hands, forearms, décolletés, and faces are among the most frequently requested treatment areas for pigmentation.
The Client and Business Benefits of IPL
When it comes to removing unwanted hair, IPL treatment offers a number of advantages over waxing. Because IPL machines produce short wavelengths of light, surrounding tissues and non-targeted tissues are not affected by the pulses of light. In comparison to traditional hair removal methods, these treatments are relatively non-invasive and don’t require downtime, making them a popular long-term alternative.
With just one stand-alone device, an IPL machine offers a multitude of different treatment options, making it one of the best value-driven devices for beauty or aesthetics businesses. The availability of more treatment options for You have a greater chance of capturing a larger share of the market if you have a large client base. Permanent hair removal may be of interest to one customer while pigmentation or vascular conditions may be of interest to another. Regardless of the mode of treatment you choose, an IPL machine makes it easier for you to serve a larger number of clients who come to you for hair and skin care issues.
Those who provide IPL services always mention the increase in profit, booking rates, and client base growth they have experienced as a result of IPL. As an alternative, if you do not invest in an IPL machine, maintaining high levels of customer retention can become increasingly difficult due to the fact that modern, technology-savvy clients are always looking for the latest, most cutting-edge aesthetic treatments to boost their confidence and enhance their image. Instead of a traditional massage or facial, many customers are choosing treatments like IPL which offer immediate and long-term permanent results. To survive and prosper in the increasingly competitive world of beauty in the technological age, it is crucial for beauty business owners to keep up with customer demand and invest in forward-thinking, results-driven aesthetic technology.
