Photodepilation
Photodepilation achieves permanent hair removal by using intense pulsed light (IPL) to destroy the hair-producing area through the energy absorbed by the hair’s natural pigment, melanin. The heat generated burns and destroys the hair follicle, resulting in permanent hair removal.
Photodepilation can be applied to hair on any part of the body, whether in men or women.
The best results are achieved when removing black hair on light skin. As the hair becomes less dark or the skin less light, the necessary parameters must be adjusted for maximum efficacy. This is why it is essential that a properly trained professional performs the procedure.
For all treatments involving laser or pulsed light, special care must be taken with sun exposure. Our medical team will inform you about detailed post-treatment care regarding sun exposure. To avoid undesirable side effects, it is crucial to follow the medical recommendations and consistently use high-level sun protection.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the person, possible associated conditions, hair and skin characteristics, and specific factors related to the area being treated. In general, at least 80% of the hair present at the start of treatment is eliminated, leaving the remainder as fine, aesthetically tolerable hair. In many cases, hair removal is greater or even total.
