How does IPL
work?
The GoSmooth IPL Classic delivers pulses of
light to the skin that are absorbed by the hair
root. The darker the hair, the better the light
pulses are absorbed.
The hair follicle retains the light and converts
it into heat. As a result, the hair follicle even-
tually falls out naturally and new hair growth
is prevented.
A hair growth cycle consists of several phases,
one of which is the growth phase. IPL Hair Re-
moval is most effective when the hair follicle is
in the growth phase. This is why we advise ev-
eryone to shave 12-24 hours beforehand. This
will ensure that the hair follicle is in the growth
phase when you start your IPL treatment.
