How it works
Intense Pulsed Light with SmartPulse technology delivers light deep into the skin with real time cooling to ensure your protection and comfort. As the energy is absorbed it destroys the imperfection it is targeting and slowly it disappears. The treatment works by delivering energy to the deeper layers of the skin to target the hair pigment and destroy the follicle. SmartPulse™ technology ensures safe and consistent heat distribution, while a real-time cooling system works to keep your skin protected from the heat.
Following your treatment sun protection will be applied. You must avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours post treatment.
You may feel like you have a mild sunburn immediately after treatment but you can resume to your daily activities immediately after.
