UNWANTED HAIR

Unwanted hair can develop in men and women on the face, arms, legs, hands, feet, back, chest, armpits, and genital area. Long-term hair reduction using intense pulsed light (IPL) is a safe, non-invasive procedure.

Patients with dark, thick hair have the best results. Thin hair with minimal pigment is challenging to treat. Darker skin tones or tanned skin is also challenging as there is a risk of burning the skin. However, settings can be adjusted to accommodate patients with varied skin tones. Normal hair growth occurs in cycles, with much of the hair lying dormant. For this reason, multiple treatments are necessary; we generally recommend 6-9 treatments every 4-6 weeks.
