Q&A
Q & A for IPL Hair Removal
-
Q: What is the average rate of hair growth?
A: About 0.35 mm a day, but this varies depending on body area, age + gender. -
Q: How many treatments are required?
A: The typical regimen is 4-8 treatment sessions, spaced 4-12 weeks apart, depending on the area being treated. -
Q: Why are multiple treatments necessary?
A: About 20 - 25% of human hair follicles on the body are in the active growth phase at any given time. This is the percentage of hair follicles that can be destroyed in a single treatment session.
In order to eliminate almost 70% of the hair, the treatment has to be repeated until the desired result is achieved. -
Q: Are IPL Hair Removal treatments painful?
A: No. During the procedure, a slight, momentary stinging sensation may be felt, but not pain.
