Permanent hair removal need not be painful, though. The latest technology for permanent hair removal is called Intense Pulsed Light Treatments (IPL). This laser hair removal treatment, now available in Tampa, is virtually painless. With the advanced Candela GentleLASE system, a coolant is applied to the skin before every laser pulse. The Intense Pulsed Light Treatments (IPL) involve the use of full spectrum light that destroys hair follicles for permanent hair removal while leaving the skin totally free from damage or any other negative side effects. Only existing hair follicles can be destroyed, though. Since hair grows in stages, not all hair follicles can be zapped in just one session. Patients will need to undergo five to nine sessions in order to catch all the subsequent growths. After that, the treated areas will be permanently smooth and hair-free.
