Swissklip IPL hair removal uses a state-of-the-art technology designed to achieve permanent hair reduction safely and effectively. It operates on the principle of selective photo thermolysis, a process that harnesses the power of intense pulsed light to target and disrupt the hair follicles’ growth cycle.
Light Absorption: IPL devices emit a broad spectrum of light, which includes various wavelengths. This light is attracted to the melanin (pigment) present in the hair shaft and the hair follicle. Melanin absorbs the light energy, converting it into heat.
Heat Generation: As the light energy is absorbed, it transforms into heat, heating up the hair follicle. The heat damages the hair follicle’s structure, specifically the cells responsible for hair growth, without harming the surrounding skin.
Disruption of Hair Growth Cycle: By selectively damaging the hair follicles, IPL disrupts the natural hair growth cycle. This interruption leads to a gradual reduction in hair growth over time.
Multiple Sessions: IPL devices are most effective when used in a series of sessions. Hair grows in different phases, and IPL is most efficient during the anagen (growth) phase when the hair follicle is actively producing hair. Not all hair is in the same phase at the same time, so multiple sessions are needed to target hairs in the optimal growth phase.
Permanent Hair Reduction: With consistent use, IPL technology significantly reduces hair growth. While it may not permanently eliminate every hair, it provides long-term results, with many users experiencing lasting smoothness.
