Intense pulsed light for men

​

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a type of light therapy that uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths to penetrate the skin. The hair follicles beneath the surface will absorb the light as soon as the pulses are released. As the light turns into heat, it will kill off the hair follicles. IPL is a standard beauty service in salons and spas. When performed correctly, IPL can eliminate up to 70 percent of the hair in the treated area. Depending on your skin type and pain threshold, you may feel anything from a pleasant, warm tingling to a painful, scorching sensation during an IPL treatment.

Everything you need to know before IPL

Here are five more things to keep in mind if you’re a man considering laser removal:

 

Several sessions of IPL are needed

​

If you're considering IPL hair removal, it's important to understand that it's a process, not a one-time treatment. Most people will need to receive three to six treatments, spaced out over the course of several months. Additionally, it's unlikely that you'll be able to remove all your body hair in a single session. IPL is most effective on small areas of hair, such as the upper lip or chin. However, with multiple treatments, it can be used to remove hair from larger areas of the body, such as the arms or legs. If you're looking for a long-term solution to unwanted body hair, IPL may be right for you.

​

You won’t need to shave or tan before the IPL appointment

 

When you book a laser hair removal appointment, it’s important to follow certain guidelines in order to ensure the best possible results. First, avoid shaving before your appointment. This is because your doctor will need to see the hair’s base in order to properly target the follicles. Secondly, stay out of the sun for the two days prior to your treatment. This is to prevent sunburn and laser sensitivity. By following these simple guidelines, you can help ensure that your laser hair removal treatment is as effective as possible.

 

Avoid the sun, chemicals, and tight clothing after an IPL session

​

This is when you should allow your skin to rest and repair without interfering with heat, sweat, or heavily scented or chemically active skincare products. In a similar vein, A well-ventilated room, lukewarm or cool showers, and the use of mild cleansers can all do wonders for your skin.

​

Skin tone makes a big difference in IPL result

​

While most people think of lasers as being dangerous, they actually are quite safe - as long as they are used properly. One of the most important factors in determining how safe a laser will be is the color of the skin and hair. For example, black hair on a fair complexion is the safest combination, as the laser will not be able to penetrate very far into the skin. On the other hand, light hair and dark skin present unique challenges. As a result, it is important to consult with a doctor before undergoing any laser treatment. Only an experienced professional will be able to safely deliver the laser without causing any damage.

​

Some hair will grow back after IPL treatment

 

For many people, the idea of laser hair removal conjures up images of a smooth, hairless body. However, it is important to understand that laser hair removal is not a permanent solution. Some hair may return, or new hairs may sprout where there were none before. However, there are some things you can do to minimize the chances of this happening. First, be sure to choose a reputable laser hair removal clinic with experienced technicians. Second, follow all aftercare instructions carefully. And finally, be patient – it may take several sessions to achieve your desired results. By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your laser hair removal experience is as smooth and successful as possible.
