IPL stands for intense pulsed laser. It is a type of laser removal treatment that works quickly. It gets to the root cause of your hair problems. Compared to traditional laser hair removal, it is less painless and more efficient. Plus, it costs less to receive IPL treatment than a regular laser procedure. At Purlux, our dermatologist uses the latest IPL technology to remove those stubborn, unwanted hairs. So that you can look vibrant and radiant again.

IPL

Invented in 1997, Intense Pulsed Light is one of the most advanced and high-tech hair removal methods on the market. Unlike laser technology, IPL uses a broad spectrum of light with multiple wavelengths. These wavelengths are scattered across the skin to help with permanent hair reduction by directing light at the melanin damaging the root, and helping to break the cycle of regrowth.
