How does IPL work?

This special hair removal treatment uses full spectrum polychromatic light with the combination of infrared radiation in low range and they target melanin, the dark pigment of skin and hair. Generally melanin is found in maximum concentration near the hair follicle bases.

Melanin absorbs the light energy near the root of hair. The heat generated by the treatment terminates the papilla which is responsible for further hair growth. As a result of this IPL treatment, hair is shed for a couple of weeks following it.
