Studies have shown that by using the IPL treatment it is possible to remove hair permanently, furthermore up to 80% reduction in hair growth, post treatment, is achievable. A glass applicator is placed on the skin and the intense light from the Ecolite system passes through it and is absorbed by the pigment melanin, this is what gives hair its colour. The absorbed light is transferred to the surrounding cells in the form of heat and this affects the natural function of the hair producing cells, stunning their ability to produce hair.

With continued treatments the cells will become less and less effective at producing hair. The treatment is non-invasive and is safe. It can permanently remove hair quickly and is a clean way to fight unwanted hair.
