IPL (Laser Hair Removal) - FAQs

IPL hair removal works by using high intensity flashes of light to target the chromophore melanin in the hair pigment. This light is absorbed by the melanin and converted to heat, which destroys the surrounding blood vessels and inhibits hair growth. However, Adéna, a unique IPL device, does not solely rely on hair pigment to absorb the light energy. It directly targets the blood vessels, allowing it to effectively treat hair shades that are not rich in melanin, such as blonde, grey, white, and red hairs. This makes Adéna a suitable option for removing light hairs.

Yes, IPL can be used for facial rejuvenation. By emitting high intensity flashes of light, IPL technology can target various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone. The light energy is absorbed by the targeted areas, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin cell renewal. This results in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Adéna, in particular, is designed for customised treatments according to hair color, texture, and body location, making it suitable for facial rejuvenation as well.

Patented in France and invented by doctors and scientists this advanced and computerised salon device filters out harmful ultraviolet light and infrared wavelengths ensur- ing a safe progressive hair removal system. When IPL is combined with our large spot size, treatments are fast, safe, virtually painless and cheaper than waxing.

During traditional IPL hair removal procedures, the energy from high intensity flashes of light is absorbed by the chromophore melanin, which is responsible for hair pigment or colour. Dark hair, which is rich in melanin, readily absorbs this light and transfers it as heat into the surrounding capillaries, which supply blood to growing hairs. When the blood vessels are destroyed in high temperatures, additional hair growth is prohibited. Adéna is unique in that it does not rely on the hair pigment to absorb the light energy, meaning it can effectively target those hair shades not so rich in melanin. Instead, with a special treatment applicator Adéna targets the blood vessels directly, preventing the growth of blonde, grey, white and red hairs
