What is IPL?

IPL, Intense Pulsed Light, achieves long-lasting hair reduction by sending hair follicles to sleep. The light emitted is absorbed by the melanin in your hair. This generates heat in the hair follicles, interrupting your hair growth cycle and preventing the hairs from growing back. Regular use leads to up to 2 years of smooth skin¹.

IPL vs. Salon laser

IPL and Laser are both light-based hair removal methods. They are different types of light but with a similar mode of action that enables hair growth reduction over time. For both technologies, treatment effectiveness varies by treatment regimen, level of energy used, body hair color, skin color and coverage.

Our at-home alternative to laser provides salon-like results with 95% hair reduction in just 3 sessions.¹
