Excessively thick hair on the body may affect the grooming. Some beauty-loving ladies will spend a lot of money in beauty parlors or purchase equipment for hair removal. There are many hair removal products, and the new one is IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal device, which claims to use beams of different wavelengths to project on the skin tissue to destroy hair follicles, reduce hair regrowth, and achieve the effect of hair removal . However, not all people are suitable for using IPL hair removal devices. Those who intend to go to beauty salons for IPL hair removal or buy IPL hair removal devices for home use, do not miss the following tips.

Intense pulsed light sources (intense pulsed light sources) can emit a series of high-energy intense pulsed light (intense pulsed light), including visible light and near-infrared light and other beams of different wavelengths (between 470nm and 1,200nm), different wavelengths When the light is projected on the skin tissue at the same time, it can penetrate different layers of the skin tissue. When part of it is absorbed and turned into heat energy, it can achieve the effect of beauty treatment or hair removal. Taking hair removal as an example, when the light energy released is absorbed by melanin or other pigment bases (chromophores) in the hair, the temperature of the hair follicles in the anagen phase rises to damage, which can reduce hair regrowth and achieve hair removal Effect. However, hair grows from hair follicles, and each hair follicle has its own individual growth cycle, which goes through three stages of growth, decline and rest. One hair removal can only remove part of the hair. When the hair follicle enters another growth cycle, new hair will grow again, so it may not be permanent hair removal.

At present, many brands of electronic beauty products have launched household IPL hair removal devices, and the price ranges from several thousand to over ten thousand. Although household IPL hair removal devices usually come with instruction manuals to teach how to use the hair removal device, the general public has not received relevant training and should be cautious. Sensors (contact sensor), ultraviolet filter (UV filter), power switch control and other safety devices to prevent misuse; also pay attention to whether the machine is suitable for the face and whether to wear eye protection, because if the IPL hair removal device is accidentally touched Operation may injure the eyes and cause vision loss.

Generally speaking, the risk of Caucasians using IPL hair removal devices is higher than that of colored people. People of color will have a lower risk; because people of color have darker skin and their skin contains more melanin that absorbs light energy better, excessive heat energy absorbed may be more likely to damage skin tissues. Optical hair removal is relatively risky and easy People with suntan will also be at greater risk, so they must be more careful when using it. If you want to know whether your skin is dark or light, you can generally refer to the Fitzpatrick skin classification.
