IPL Hair Removal
This treatment uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with SmartPulse™ technology to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body. The treatment works by delivering energy to deeper layers of the skin to target melanin in the hair pigment and destroy the follicle. SmartPulse™ technology ensures safe and consistent heat distribution, while a real-time cooling system works to keep your skin protected from the heat.
