Is there really a way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin? You’ve probably heard of the many hair removal methods – from shaving, plucking to waxing but most of those methods are not permanent and come with their fair share of pros and cons. You’ve prolly also heard of IPL as one of these hair removal options. Hence, you may have wondered about the science behind the light technology that claims to remove unwanted hair effectively.
What Exactly Is IPL? 💡
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a blast of light energy that emits multiple wavelengths that hair follicles can absorb. Think of it as a flash of warm light energy that penetrates the skin and targets the pigment in your hair follicles. At Japan IPL, each Shot™ is a single blast of light energy that emits from the machine. Different areas will require different no. of Shots™ depending on one’s skin and hair conditions. We are all unique!
Here’s a quick guide for the average number of Shots™ you may need for an area each session.

How Does IPL Hair Removal Work? 🚫🧔
With each blast of light, light energy is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair, which converts it into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle, stuns and slows future hair growth without harming the surrounding skin. Over time, with consistent treatments every 4 weeks, hair becomes finer and grows back slower, eventually leading to longer-lasting smoothness.
How long will it take to see results?
Of course, IPL is not a one-time thing and it’s all because of the hair growth cycle which renews every 28 days. Fun fact: at any given time, your hair is in one of three phases – growing, resting, or shedding. IPL is most effective during the active growth phase, when hair is attached to the follicle. This is why we encourage consistent visits every 4 weeks so you can achieve your desired hair-free goals!
Is IPL Right for Everyone? 🤔
If we’re talking about the old technology, we can’t say that IPL works for everyone. However, at Japan IPL Express, we’ve since leveled up our game with our latest Japanese-patented technology, Advanced Diode Light (ADLight™). Proven to deliver maximum results with minimal pain. Let these reviews speak for us. Rest assured that our professional therapist will curate the treatment just right for you.
Does IPL Hurt? 💥
ADLight™ is designed to balance power and comfort, giving you maximum results without the drama of painful “rubber band” snaps, making the entire process as safe and comfy as a spa day.
How Long Do the Results Last? 🕰️
Over consistent sessions, you’ll notice a significant reduction in hair growth, with some hair not growing back at all. IPL is a long-lasting solution to combat unwanted hair. Over time, most people enjoy hair-free skin for months, or even longer, before needing a touch-up session. Dormant or new follicles may still grow over time due to hormonal changes. However, with regular maintenance, IPL can offer smooth, hair-free skin that’s here to stay.
Why IPL Is Worth it ✨
ADLight™ treatment combines science and convenience, making it one of the most effective methods to reduce unwanted hair. It’s fast, painless, and overtime, incredibly cost-effective compared to the endless cycle of shaving and waxing sessions!
