4. How do I Feel during IPL Hair Removal Treatment, and How Many Times Treatment Will I Need?
The hand piece of our IPL hair removal equipment cools and soothes your skin as it glides along your skin. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients may experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation.
Generally, no local anesthesia or pain medication is required. However some patients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.
Most areas require 3-6 times of IPL treatment. However, to achieve optimum hair removal effect, the treatment frequency vary with following factors, such as your hair's thickness, the area treated and your hair's growth cycle.

As not all hairs are actively growing at the same time, but actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression and resting.
IPL systems work by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment.
Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.

5. How Is IPL Equipment Used To Treat Benign Vascular Lesions?
Aging, sun exposure and other factors can cause the appearance of broken capillaries and blood vessels on the face known as telangiectasias, which appear as spider veins. Sometimes broken capillaries can cause a diffused redness in the skin, called erythema, a source of social embarrassment for many people. Rosacea is a common skin condition that is characterized by diffused erythema.
Don't worry about all these symptoms. IPL equipment can help us to eliminate or relieve these symptoms.
For unsightly veins on the legs, the combination of IPL and Nd:YAG laser technologies are capable of relieving these lesions. During treatment, Intense Pulsed Light or laser light is absorbed by the blood in these small veins, and then to heat and destroy the vessels. Thus, skin treatment effect is realized.

IPL skin rejuvenation treatments are usually pain-free, but an anesthetic cream can be used if the light pulses are uncomfortable.
Some patients compare the sensation to a light pinch or the snap of a rubber band.
Treatment sessions usually last about 20 minutes and a complete program usually includes four to six sessions.
After treatment, patients can immediately return to normal routines and activities.
Occasionally evidence of treatment such as redness or blotchiness may last for an hour or two.
