If you have long battled with painful wax jobs and shaving that doesn't give you the smooth, silky skin that you hoped for when it comes to removing unwanted hair, then it is comforting to know that there is an alternative solution that can offer effective, long-term results.

You can say goodbye to the awkward 'in-between' of waxing appointments and the bumps,IPL Treatment: The Long-Term Solution for Unwanted Hair Articles rash and irritation that can come along with razor shaving and enjoy smooth, hair-free skin all year round. So what is this holy grail of hair removal? It's simply called IPL – or Intense Pulsed Light, a smart non-invasive technology that permanently stunts the possibility of hair re-growth occurring.

IPL hair removal works by emitting a type of intensive broadband and incoherent light that is absorbed by the pigment of your hair follicle, the IPL machine is then pulsed for only a fraction of a second – this short and rapid process is just long enough to disrupt the hair follicle, thermally damaging the source of hair re-growth, resulting in permanently removed hair. Simply put, the treated hair won't grow back – eradicating the very need for waxing, razors and tweezers – forever!

Now this is sounding too good to be true, but IPL hair removal is the real deal and the benefits far outweigh other methods that offer temporary solutions when really, you just never want to see that pesky hair ever again. Other perks include the fact that it is safe, easy, painless and can be used to successfully treat the face and body. You may have heard of laser hair removal which is great for reaching the same outcome – for some. IPL treatment however, really goes that extra mile in terms of suitability and cost effectiveness. Why? Well firstly, IPL uses a much broader spectrum of light compared to laser; this essentially means that it is suitable for a wider range of hair colours and skin types, allowing more people the access to permanent hair removal. Secondly, IPL treats a significantly larger area of skin per light pulse, making the treatment much faster and therefore cheaper than laser.

So, that raises the next and as equally important question – where do you stand on cost? If you are thinking that this amazing service is surely out of your reach financially, then think again. If you do the maths, it is quite simple to see that IPL hair removal is more affordable than you imagined. Put it this way, a course of 6 – 8 IPL treatments is usually what is required to achieve optimal results. Once you have completed your treatment cycle, you can look forward to a lifetime of smooth, hair-free skin, with only perhaps the occasional maintenance treatment required. Compare that to the cost and hassle of never-ending waxing, shaving, tweezing and hair removal creams. And add on top of your lifetime of smooth skin the peace of mind, confidence and general satisfaction with your overall look that IPL offers. If you look good, you'll feel great – and for that reason, we'd say IPL hair removal is priceless.
