IPL-technology: This method was developed to go beyond the limitations of laser technology. It is the most effective permanent hair removal method today! Fewer treatments are needed to achieve the desired results than with laser technology. With one pulse, laser treats a significantly smaller area (max. 1.44 cm²), while IPL-machines treat 6.4 cm². The wavelength of the light cannot be changed with lasers, which means that its parameters cannot be adjusted to the skin type and hair colour, but with pulsed light treatments this can be achieved.

Hair follicles are found on every area of our body except for the palms and the soles. Each hair follicle has its own lifecycle: the formation and growth of hairs, followed by a quiescent phase, and then the growth of new hair from the same follicle. This cycle has three phases: growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and quiescence (telogen).

Anagen is the longest phase and up to 90% of follicles on a normal human scalp are in this active hair growth state at any given time. Hairs grow by an average 0.35 mm per day, the extent of the growth depending on the location of the follicles and on age and sex. We can say that 20-25% of the hair follicles – on other areas of your body except for your scalp– are in the anagen growth phase.

In the anagen, or growth, phase, there is enough melanin produced in the hair follicles to absorb the light that in turn destroys them. As approximately 20-25% of the hair follicles on your body are in the anagen phase at a given time, one treatment is only enough to destroy 20-25% of the entire number of the hair follicles.

This hair removal method brings permanent results but it is far from perfect, because only the active (hair-producing) hair follicles can be treated. It might happen that a hair follicle starts to produce hairs only after the treatment. Hair follicles in the telogen phase cannot be destroyed.

Expected results

After several hair removal treatments women experience that max. 90% of the hairs permanently disappear, while 10% of the remaining hairs grow thinner and lighter in colour. Men whose hair is stronger experience that about 70-80% of the hairs permanently disappear, the rest grow thinner and lighter in colour.

This method is not effective on very light or grey hairs: 5% of the people treated do not react to it. In this case we ensure a money-back guarantee: the person who receives a treatment following the orders of our staff (at given times, at least every four weeks), 4 times, agrees to have the treatment documented by photos, follows the instructions of the agreement, but does not experience that their hair grows thinner on the treated area, gets back the value of the treatments already paid for.

Other payment discounts: after the 10^th occasion the hair removal treatment of the same body area is free.
