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.
