Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is used in hair removal to eliminate unwanted hair. This process uses short pulses of light that target the hair's pigment, causing the follicles to enter a dormant state and eventually fall out.
IPL hair removal has become increasingly popular as it offers long-lasting results, reduces hair growth, and is less painful than traditional methods. Its roots can be traced back to the 1990s, when researchers discovered that IPL could effectively remove hair without damaging the surrounding skin.
