Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a cosmetic skin treatment that uses pulses of light to improve the appearance of the skin. IPL is often used to treat sun damage, age spots, and other pigmentation problems. It can also be used to remove unwanted hair.
IPL is not suitable for red hair because the light pulses target pigment in the skin. Red hair does not contain enough pigment to be affected by the light, so IPL treatments will not be effective in removing hair. If you have red hair and are interested in IPL treatment, you may want to consider a different hair removal method.
