Tired of your daily shaving routine and looking for a more permanent hair removal solution? Many women are turning to at-home IPL hair removal devices, which in the long run work out much cheaper than salon treatments. The results also last longer so there’s no need to worry about shaving in between appointments, or needing to do an emergency shave just before you jet off on holiday.
So you may be wondering, what is IPL?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive technology used in hair removal devices. It works by sending a gentle heat belows the skin’s surface through flashes of light energy. This energy disrupts the growth of each hair follicle, therefore stunting hair growth. It differs from laser hair removal as it uses a broader spectrum of wavelengths, covering a larger surface area and often resulting in quicker treatment times.
With the huge number of at-home IPL hair removal devices on the market, it can be overwhelming if you’re a first time user and you have no idea where to start. We’re here to give you a rundown of the best hair removal devices on the market.
