VPL Permanent Hair Removal is the Best Way to Remove Unwanted Hair

You've probably heard of VPL permanent hair removal, but may be wondering what it is all about. Hair removal is the most common reason that women and men seek out the services of a beauty salon. It is such a common problem that many solutions have been developed to assist people to remove unwanted hair from their body or face.

If you want to do it yourself, shaving your legs and underarms is one solution. But you wouldn't want that razor blade too close to your bikini line! Shaving nicks are almost impossible to avoid - especially when you're in a hurry. Skin rashes are also quite common. After shaving, expect the shaved hair to grow back thicker and darker. Honestly, shaving may seem quick and cheap, but there are just too many negatives.

In beauty salons, waxing has long been the preferred treatment method. However, waxing treatments can be extremely painful. Most women and men can attest to that!

Waxing and shaving have other downsides too. Both are relatively short lived and before too long stubble appears, taking away that silky smooth skin you love. If you are unlucky, you may also suffer from painful ingrown hairs afterwards.

There is a Better Solution

Hair removal using variable pulsed light (VPL) is the most technologically advanced method available today. It can only be performed in a beauty salon or clinic by a trained and certified therapist.

VPL is extremely safe and effective (with FDA approval). Results are visible from the very first treatment. It is suitable for treating unwanted hair on all parts of the face and body, even those sensitive areas like bikini line, nipples and chest. VPL is also the most painless of all your hair removal options. In fact it is no more painful than being flicked by a hair brush.

How Does VPL Work?

At any stage your hairs will be in one of three phases: growth, dormant or dead. VPL works by delivering short light pulses to the treatment area. This heats the hair follicles to about 70 degrees while leaving the surrounding skin below 45 degrees. Heating the hair follicles kills the hairs, which will then fall out naturally over the next week or so. However, the hair can only be killed in the growth phase.

Because not every hair will be in the same phase at the same time, a course of treatments is required in order to catch every hair follicle in its growth phase. Your therapist will advise how often and how many treatments are required. If you've never had a VPL treatment before, it is advisable to get a patch test at the initial consultation.

Although it depends on the individual, after your course of treatments, the treated hair is likely to disappear forever. Any hair that does re-grow will do so at a much slower rate and be softer and lighter in colour. If you choose, you can have occasional maintenance treatments to remove that hair also.

Once you've experienced the effectiveness of VPL permanent hair removal, you will never consider any other way to deal with unwanted hair again.
