Waxing vs DPL Hair Removal

Waxing is a form of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for four to six weeks, although some people will start to see regrowth in only a week due to some of their hair being on a different Human hair growth cycle.

Dynamic Pulse Light (DPL) utilizes a combination of traditional IPL and laser power source to activate a more controlled type of light pulses to deliver quick individual shots with low fluence but with high energy density. It targets the dark pigments in the hair follicles and damages it, killing it to prevent new hair follicles from growing.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Waxing

• Warm wax us applied to area
• Wax cools
• Cool wax is torn off in opposite direction of hair growth

DPL Hair removal

• Laser pulse targets pigment in hair follicle
• Pulsed light alters pigment
• Altered pigment slows hair’s regrowth

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

Waxing

• Hairs uprooted from their follicles
• Wax is peeled up, removing hairs embedded in it as it goes along
• Treated area may be irritated for days afterwards
• Lever of discomfort: moderate to high

DPL Hair Removal

• Laser activation produces slight sting
• Pulsed light feels like a rubber band snapped against skin
• Sensations last only a few seconds
• Level of discomfort: low

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
