What is IPL?




What is IPL Permanent Hair Removal?

IPL stands for ( Intense Pulse Light) is a non- invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to permanently reduce unwanted facial and body hair without affecting the surrounding skin.

How does it work?

IPL permanent hair removal works on the “Theory of Extended Photothermolysis”. The occurs when the melanin ( the dark pigments) in your hair absorbs the light and converts to hear, which radiates to the surrounding cells that form the hair. If enough heat is produced it will destroy these cells, thus preventing further hair growth. If only low energies are used the hair growth will only be temporarily retarded with no permanent long-term results. 

What does IPL Permanent Hair removal feel like?

Each pulse of light usually feels like a hot elastic band snapping on your skin. This is the light converting to heat within the follicle. Due to the advanced technology My Body Secrets are using, customer comfort is substantially better than any other to achieve permanent results.

What happens to the hair after the treatment?
  1.  The hair will appear to grow very slowly for approximately 2-4 weeks( This is the treated hair being pushed out of the follicle not new growth)
  2.  All the hair should then fall out ( any hair that doesn’t may have been missed, or have not received enough energy to destroy the cells, or was too light, too fine or too deeply rooted)
  3.  You should then enjoy hair free period of approximately 3 to 6 weeks
  4.  New growth will begin to appear and is treated at the next session ( after each treatment a certain percentage of hair will not grow back)
  5.  Results may vary for each individual. Some may take longer and some shorter time to experienced completely hairless permanently.

They bath or shower on a regular basis, shampoo and condition their hair frequently and religiously brush their teeth. Creams and cosmetics are applied to enhance the way we look and perfume is spritzed to make us smell attractive. Cosmetic surgery too is becoming increasingly popular to smooth away the years. all this attention is devoted to the outside of our bodies but what about the inside? Our inner cleanliness is vital and indeed has an enormous impact not only the way that we look but also , of course , on the way that we feel. Many individuals are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of detoxification and are realizing that it's a powerful tool not only to enhance our physical appearance but also for the prevention of disease and the maintenance of optimum health.
