FAQ
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and has gained widespread popularity for the many benefits it affords the user. This modern technology aims to remove unwanted hair, slow the aging process by reducing wrinkles and perfect the skin tone by treating blemishes.
Multiple uses of IPL also increase collagen production in the skin, leaving you glowing from the inside out! Due to IPL’s diverse range of uses and proven results, IPL is a must have device for anyone wanting to look and feel their best.
Just like all light based treatments, C-IPL works by emitting a multi spectrum light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigments in the hair and quickly turns to heat. The heat then travels down along the hair and targets the hair follicles responsible for hair growth, putting these follicles to sleep! With enough treatment, sticking to the recommended treatment plan and settings, visible results can be achieved as fast as in 3 weeks of use. After 12 weeks you will see complete results.

We discovered that some people could not take higher settings on sensitive body parts, such as the underarm and bikini area as it feels hot on their skin due to darker pigmentation. Those areas tend to have thicker hair that require higher output to be effective. Hence, the installation of cooling plate acts as an ice compression after each flash. This makes it possible to use higher settings to target the most stubborn hair follicles and ensuring you make the most out of each flashes.
