The Benefits of IPL hair removal

I Laser treatments have come a long way since they first appeared in the mid nineties. IPL - also called Flashlamp, MultiLight or Photo Laser - can perform minor miracles on sun damaged skin (photoaging) anywhere on the body, but most significantly on the face and hands. The system used at the Athenaeum Spa in Malta is produced by a French company called Dermeo and forms part of LaserExpress, a light based hair removal franchise availablein Malta.

Unwanted facial and body hair is not only irritating and inconvenient, it can also be embarrassing. There are several ways to get rid of them ranging from electrolysis, threading, waxing and shaving. Whatever method you choose, it will surely be a time consuming and laborious process. IPL hair removal is the answer to this problem. IPL hair removal is a safe, effective and permanent solution. Furthermore, it is more comfortable than other means. The IPL at the Athenaeum Spa in Malta is FDA approved and carries all the neccassary European certification as a medical device. The system has the largest spot size currently available in Europe.

IPL is the latest technology that can help you look and feel your best. IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. Although this system is not exactly laser, it works in a similar manner. This non-coherent laser involves the use of a specific light beam which causes permanent damage to hair follicles so that hair will not grow back. Filtered light is delivered from a device or hand piece into the skin, where it targets dark material such as the pigment found in the hair. This results to thermal or mechanical damage to cells and connective tissue that surrounds the root of the hair while sparing the surrounding tissues and skin from harm.

IPL is a safer option than tradition laser resurfacing and is commonly used for facial hair removal, removal of birth marks and even tattoo removal. Skin resurfacing can eliminate fine lines, spider veins and pigmentation and significantly reduce deep lines and acne scarring. IPL stimulates also the skin to produce more collagen, plumping out the skin and making it appear younger. Skin rejuvebnation with the Ipl at the Athenaeum Spa in Malta is a safe, effective, fast and pain free treatment that has little or no down time.

One other strong point of IPL system is the lower cost of the procedure. This is one of the biggest reasons why the IPL system is such a popular laser hair removal option. IPL treatments are cheaper than the standard cost of laser hair removal. In addition, this system was specially designed to cover large areas of skin in a short period of time. This means that treatment on body parts such as the back and the leg can be accomplished in a fraction of the time required with standard lasers.

As an added bonus, people who have successfully undergone this process experienced only some mild form of discomfort and pain. IPL is less painful than other methods. IPL can work on almost all skin types although better results are produced in persons with darker hair color and lighter skin color. The good news is that there are now IPL machines that deal with different skin colors.
