2.1. IPL technology
Using IPL technology, Radiance 200 painlessly removes hair by
emitting pulsed light. The pulsed light targets the pigment present
in the hair (melanin) to get through to the root and prevent the hair
from growing back. Therefore, the more melanin the hair contains
(i.e. the darker the hair colour), the more light the hair can absorb and
the more conclusive the results will be. IPL technology has been used
widely by professionals for more than 15 years and clinical studies
have proven that it is effective and safe.
2.2. Hair growth cycle
The hair growth cycle plays a key part in the process of IPL depilation.
Therefore, it is important to understand how the full hair growth cycle
works in order to achieve lasting results.
The hair growth cycle consists of three successive phases:
• Growth
• Transition
• Resting
18 to 24
