subject: Ipl Hair Removal For Smooth Skin [print this page] Growth of hairs is natural process in any normal skin. This is sign that you have reached a certain maturity status and the body responds by producing hormones that trigger the growth and maintenance of hair for healthy skin. That said persons might want to improve their appearance by shortening or removing the active hairs from the skin. This is the current trend and a form of fashion for the many persons of mature age. Most women do not like their skins to contain hairs and therefore they make efforts to apply the current hair removal technologies like the IPL, so that they can have smooth skins with attractive texture.
The dermatologists using the IPL technology uses a hand held machine to expose light to your skin and the targeted areas during the hair removal process. Since the machine is sensitive to beams of light, it actually makes use of the light set at particular wavelength angle to achieve the desired wavelengths depending on the environment. The device will concentrate the light energy in the targeted area that allows light to penetrate the area. The target area might be the face, the chin, the cheek, thighs, legs, chest, the back armpits or any other area that the patient would like to reduce or remove the unwanted hairs.
This technology would allow the beams of light to convert to heat energy when the beams penetrate the skin. The energy enters the root of the hair or the hair papilla and destroys the active hair follicle without affecting the surrounding cells. Depending on the area the beams of light lands and are concentrated, the active hairs will reduce in size or destroy. This process takes a short period and the doe not invade any other skin cells. This also means that the side effects involved are minimal and that the patient will have a low downtime for healing from the treatment. The patient can proceed to doing his or her daily chores without much worry over the treatment side effects.
For smooth skin after the treatment, the patient should not settle only with the first treatment. This is the case because the first treat always involves shortening the hairs and the skin may appear irregular due to availability of other small batches of hair. To ensure complete removal, it therefore follows that you should consider making preceding treatments to clear out the remaining batches. It is however important to note that no method or technology can permanently remove the hairs from your skin. You have the discretion to continue maintenance treatments to your skin after the first treatment by using the IPL technology or any other combination that you may prefer.
