How IPL works
With IPL technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to the skin and
absorbed by the hair
root. The darker the hair, the better the pulses of light
are absorbed.
The pulses of light stimulate the hair follicle to go into a resting phase. As a
consequence, the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is prevented,
leaving your skin continuously silky-smooth.
The cycle of hair growth consists of different phases. IPL technology is only
effective when the hair is in its growing phase.
Not all hairs are in the
growing phase at the same time. This is why we recommend an 8-week
treatment schedule followed by touch-ups to make sure all hairs are
effectively treated in the growing phase.
Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, blond
as light hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can see the hair colors
for which Lumea is suitable and effective.
