Although most people want to make the most of their crowning glory, hair elsewhere tends to be nothing but a nuisance. Imagine never having to shave your legs or go for a bikini wax again. Two revolutionary depilatory treatments can ensure hair today will be gone tomorrow.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
What is it? It is purported to be one of the biggest beauty breakthroughs in terms of technology. Pulses of high-intensity light reduce the melanin, or dark pigment, in skin or hair. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light energy, causing the follicle to die so the hair won't grow back.
Hair from where? Everywhere except the eye area. If you want to remove hair from a sensitive zone, a consultation is advised to ascertain whether your skin is suitable. For men and women.
How long does it take? Each session is finished in about 30 minutes. About one session every four to eight weeks is required, and a total of eight to 10 sessions in several months should get rid of the unwanted hair.
Does it hurt? The skin reportedly tingles when the light is applied, but the treatment is non-invasive and pain-free.
