INTRODUCTION

The Intense Pulsed Light Hair Remover™ uses the latest Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
technology. Placed gently against the skin, pulses of intense light are delivered
directly to the hair follicle with enough energy to disable the root without affecting
the surrounding area. IPL delivers quick and efficient long term hair removal. IPL is
suitable for larger areas such as legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back and chest
as well as certain areas of the face.
