IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive technology used in hair removal devices. It works by sending a gentle heat belows the skin’s surface through flashes of light energy. This energy disrupts the growth of each hair follicle, therefore stunting hair growth. It differs from laser hair removal as it uses a broader spectrum of wavelengths, covering a larger surface area and often resulting in quicker treatment times.
