Intense Pulse Light Therapy for Males

Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL) was developed in Israel and has been used around the world since 1991. Basically, it uses a broad light spectrum with specific filters to target the unwanted hair follicles and kill the cells responsible for hair growth without causing any damage to the surrounding cells.

IPL is now one of the most popular ways to gain smooth, hair-free skin and is particularly useful for treating large areas (back, etc) because it is so quick. Talk to the therapist at your local salon providing Totalcare treatments - the results are impressive.

The experts recommend:

Unlike most other hair removal systems, Ksenon IPL recognises that men and women have different skin and different hair growth and offers totally separate treatment settings for both. It uses the most advanced technology available and is very successful in treating dark hair, particularly on the back, arms, chest, abdomen and legs. The result is undamaged, hair-free skin with little, if any, hair re-growth after 6-8 treatments.

Ksenon IPL is very controllable and is more comfortable than regular laser treatment because it only requires a single light flash per area, eliminating discomfort and skin trauma. It’s not painful - you will only feel a gentle, warming sensation. Other IPL systems need multiple flashes of light on the same area and this can cause a stinging sensation. Ksenon is safer too, because the light is filtered to remove harmful ultraviolet light and is personalised to your skin phototype.Salons providing Ksenon treatments >>

Our top tips on IPL:

The darker your hair the better the results with Ksenon IPL. If you have fair, blond or red hair then choose Apilus treatments.

Keep your skin well hydrated before and between treatments.

Avoid strong sunlight immediately after treatments and wear a total sunblock such as Gala OmbraCreme on treated areas.

Talk to your skincare therapist and always make sure you follow their specific recommendations for care before and after your treatment.
