Intense pulsed light treatments work by producing a high intensity flash of filtered light from the applicator head, which has been placed in contact with the skin. These gentle pulses of light are absorbed by the pigment melanin, which is the chromophore that gives hair and skin its’ colour. The hair rapidly absorbs this filtered light and conducts it to the surrounding cells. This heat raises the temperature of these cells to 70 degree Centigrade or higher, which denatures the cells making them incapable of producing further hair growth.
When skin is exposed to sun or tanning equipment, there is an increase in the levels of melanin in the top layers of the skin. If an IPL treatment is carried out on top of this excess melanin, it can result in a burn or other undesired effects. Thus, it is very important to wait 4 to 6 weeks after sun exposure and tanning beds before an IPL session. This gap period will allow the necessary time for the tanned skin cells to shed off, and the skin to return to normal.
