Does IPL hurt? What does IPL feel like?
Depending on the region you are treating, it may hurt slightly. Areas such as your back and legs do not hardly hurt at all, whereas areas such as your pubic region and neck are very sensitive. IPL has been described as feeling like popping a rubber band on your skin or a prickly heat - but it's only for a second and fades immediately. The handpieces are cooled by the inbuilt cooling unit to provide relief.
The prickly pain is very minimal and does not continue or throb as it does with waxing and does not feel irritated as it does with shaving. It may help you to drink sweet drinks or eat something sweet directly before your treatment. Cold packs can be used on the area before and/or after.
How many sessions will I need for IPL hair reduction?
This is very dependent on each individual, their hair and skin types, and the area they are having treated, and so no exact number of treatments can be guaranteed. The average number of treatments necessary is about 6-8, although i have experienced a client needing just 2 treatments for hair on the back of the neck, but 10 treatments for legs. It is extremely variable. With each and every treatment the hair will be reduced/thinned/lightened so you will achieve some results from the very first treatment. However to achieve hair free smooth skin you may need 6-12 treatments
What is treatment of Thread veins, Acne?
Thread Veins
Thread veins that show up on your face or neck may be treatable with IPL therapy. These small veins near the surface of the skin are known as telangiectasias. Well-executed IPL can be absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood and converted into heat. The heat destroys the protein in the wall of the blood vessel and causes the veins to disappear.
Acne
Pimples can genuinely affect a person’s confidence and social anxiety. Pimples are caused by the hormone androgen when it triggers excessive oil production from the sebaceous glands. The oil cannot exit through the pores of the skin, and pimples result when the glands become inflamed.
IPL treatment can reduce the blood that reaches the gland and slow down the production of oil. By lessening the amount of oil, known as sebum, pimples are reduced.
