Many women dream of having a smooth body not only in the summer. We don’t always have the time or the desire to constantly take care of it. Shaving, pain when removing wax strips, short-term effects or irritation, or ingrown hairs are the bane of many of us. What if it could be otherwise?
Light depilation comes with help, which is based on IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, i.e. intense pulsed light. This method has been known and used in beauty salons for over 25 years. Now you can comfortably use it at home.

How did it work?
During the treatment, delicate pulses of light put the hair follicles into a dormant state. This is due to melanin. It is the pigment found in the hair. Absorbing the flashes of light, it causes the hairs to enter the said resting phase, then fall out, and eventually stop growing.
IPL technology is not the same as the laser used in beauty salons, but it works very similarly. The difference is that the first method relies on one wavelength of light, while IPL releases different wavelengths in different colors. Just like a camera flash. This makes the treatment more delicate for the skin, it does not have to be repeated too often, and the effects are quick and last for a long time. Another very important aspect is that IPL hair removal is comfortable. An additional advantage of its use is that it suits many skin phototypes, e.g. very light or dark brown complexion.
How to prepare for IPL hair removal?
Before the treatment, the skin should be dry, without cosmetics such as lotion or deodorant. At the beginning of using the IPL system, it is good to shave the parts of the body that will be treated with the razor. To effectively remove hair from a selected area of the skin, up to 92 percent. hair growth, 4 to 5 treatments should be performed in the initial period, two weeks apart. After that, it is enough to repeat them from 4 to 8 weeks. Everything, of course, depends on individual needs. For example, epilating the lower legs will take no more than 8.5 minutes.
Light hair removal is effective, but not everyone can use it. This type of treatment should be avoided by pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding or people who have, for example, an insulin pump or a pacemaker. Contraindication is also the use of e.g. immunosuppressants or anticoagulants.
How to choose the equipment?
There are many devices for light hair removal available on the market. One of them is the Philips Lumea 9900. This device is the only one with SenseIQ technology that recognizes the needs of the skin and removes hair effectively, even from the most delicate areas. The SmartSkin sensor detects the skin tone and adjusts the appropriate intensity level of the treatment. A novelty in the device is the SkinAl application, which analyzes, scans the skin and tracks the progress of depilation, and more precisely the process of hair reduction.

The analysis of the photo allows you to inform about the number of hairs, and in the subsequent stages about the hair growing back. This allows for even better hair removal results. During depilation, the microphone in the smartphone records the sound of the flash emitted by the device, and a special algorithm analyzes the number of flashes in real time to inform whether the treatment is performed correctly and whether the person using it covers the entire depilated area. Epilation will certainly be facilitated by attachments, depending on the model 3 or 4 – for the body, face, bikini and armpits, and its effects will last up to 12 months – of course, while maintaining the epilation schedule .
Hair removal, which until now was a nightmare and was associated primarily with pain, will now become a comfortable procedure. Above all, however, one that can be performed anywhere. The device is wireless, so you can use it in the bathroom, on the bed or on the couch. Check and see for yourself! An arduous necessity can turn into a pleasant ritual, which will result in a smooth body, without unnecessary and ingrown hairs. The effect can last even for the whole year.
