IPL Hair Removal Devices

For a long time, in the fight against unwanted body hairs, the only alternative to shaving was waxing, which is quite painful. The procedure for getting rid of excess hair with a laser, which can only be performed in specialised beauty salons or clinics, is often too expensive. A real find for many consumers was the invention of an intense pulsed light apparatus, in other words, a home photoepilator.

The professional name for this device is IPL, which is an acronym for Intense Pulsed Light. These tools produce pulses at a high frequency. The wavelength, in this case, can fluctuate in models for home use within 580-980 nanometres and is customisable. These powerful light flashes strongly heat the hair shaft and then provoke the death of the follicle.

Despite the simple work principle, getting rid of all unwanted hair on the body in one procedure will not work. The fact is that flashes of a photoepilator are detrimental only to those follicles in the active growth stage at the time of the procedure. Those that sleep and are not active are not affected by the device. That is why, to achieve the effect of perfectly smooth skin, it is necessary to complete the full course.

Reasons to purchase a photoepilator

Before you buy one of the devices offered by modern manufacturers, you need to weigh all the pros and cons. To begin with, consider visiting at least a single procedure in the salon to get a consultation from a specialist and find out if this type of procedure is suitable for your skin. However, do not compare a professional photoepilator to home samples because they are created for different volumes and frequencies of work. Advantages of the home IPL device are the following:

• Saving money when buying is obvious because the cost of home IPL is equivalent to only three or four salon procedures. The investment will be especially profitable if you are going to treat large areas.
• The ability to independently adjust individual settings is also very convenient because the pain threshold for each person is different. As the skin becomes accustomed to photoepilation, the flash output can be increased to achieve better results.
• An easy-to-use model for home use is not as powerful as a professional one, but the possibility of burns or other ways of harm is minimised.

Before ordering a photoepilator, you should pay attention to the power of the lamps, the recognition of skin features, the size of the flash window, and the lamp life. All these indicators affect the price of the device and its effectiveness. You can choose between network and battery accessories. They work the same way but differ in terms of autonomy. Also, pay attention to the security system, since the lamp has a high brightness level and can lead to unpleasant and even harmful consequences if pointed at the eyes. If you have children, consider models with a child lock.
