Brief overview - IPL for hair removal In order to remove hair effectively the hair needs to be in the active phase of growth, called the anagen phase. Hairs in this phase of growth contain the most melanin and are still attached to the dermal papilla which provides a food source for the production of new hair. Light absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle is heated until the proteins break down and the dermal papilla is destroyed preventing the hair from growing back. Only about 30% of hairs are in the anagen phase at any one time, therefore a course of treatments are required to see a permanent reduction in hair.
