That heat disrupts the follicle's ability to regrow hair. It is not a laser, which uses a single wavelength, and it is not epilation, which pulls hair out mechanically. IPL reduces hair over a course of sessions rather than removing it in one, and the reduction is gradual and cumulative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/evenskyn-pulsar-ipl-hair-removal-handset\"\u003eEvenSkyn® Pulsar\u003c\/a\u003e is the handset in this range, built for face, legs, underarms and the bikini line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it takes a course, not a session\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHair grows in three phases and IPL only affects follicles in the active growth phase, which is a minority of your hair at any one moment.

It is not suitable during pregnancy, over tattoos or moles, on broken or recently tanned skin, or for anyone taking photosensitising medication.
