Permanent hair removal is a popular method for those seeking a long-term solution to unwanted body or facial hair. This can be achieved through laser hair removal, IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal, and electrolysis. These methods allow people to get rid of their unwanted hair in an efficient manner that provides permanent results. But why do people get permanent hair removal?

IPL hair removal is popular among both women and men for various reasons of their own. Keep reading below to find out the history of IPL hair removal, why it became a popular beauty treatment trend and the most common reason for people to permanently remove hair today.

A Brief History of IPL Hair Removal

The early 20s introduced the first razor blade for women who wanted to wear short sleeve or sleeveless dresses. Electric razors for women were first introduced in the 40s due to a shortage of products throughout the war.

Over the next two decades, beauty products and skincare regimes started to become highly sought-after. It’s no wonder with women like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn turning heads on television and in print. Waxing became the new favourite and effective way to remove hair on legs and underarms.

Nair produced one of the first hair removal creams in the 70s. This saw a huge decline in shaving products like razors on the shelves in local shopping centres. The ability to easily apply cream and wipe away hair was convenient for women with busy schedules.

Thanks to short shorts and the short leather skirts of the rock’n’roll 80s era, salons began waxing bikini lines as well as legs and underarms. People started thinking about pubic hair like they never had before.

IPL hair removal was founded in the 1990s as a solution for women who wanted a permanent solution for removing unwanted body and facial hair. It quickly became popular among women because of its efficacy, speed, comfort, and safety compared to other laser-based methods.

Why Do People Get Permanent Hair Removal?

The most common reason for people to have hair removed from certain areas of their body comes down to personal preference and choice. However, other reasons for people to have hair permanently removed include:

• Religious beliefs
• Culture
• Hygiene
• Medical reasons
• Sexual preferences

Did you know that hair removal has been around for hundreds of years? Although our journey started in the 20s for modern trends and vanity, humans have been removing hair for medical and sanitary reasons for a long time!

Today, IPL laser hair removal is just as popular as it was when it first came out. With advancements in technology, IPL laser hair removal has become more precise and effective with fewer side effects than ever before. Many people use this method to reduce or remove their unwanted body or facial hair without having to go through the painful and often time-consuming process of shaving or waxing.

Why We Choose IPL Hair Removal

IPL laser hair removal works by using an intense pulsed light to target the pigmentation in each strand of the hair follicle. The heat from the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the follicle, causing it to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. It can be used on any area of the body where unwanted hair appears, such as the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and more.

IPL laser hair removal offers many advantages when compared with other laser treatments.

• It’s a fast process that usually takes 10 minutes or less per session and it can provide long-term results after around four to eight sessions.
• The treatment is also relatively comfortable as there is no need for needles or numbing cream before treatment.
• Additionally, it doesn’t damage the top layer of skin like some laser treatments do and has few side effects.

IPL laser hair removal is a popular beauty treatment and one of the most sought-after laser treatments today. It offers people of all ages, genders and skin tones an effective way to remove body hair with minimal discomfort. If you’re looking for permanent hair removal, IPL laser might be your best option.
