How does it work?
Growth phase (Anagen):
Transition phase (Catagen):
Resting phase (Telogen):
Hair has a lifecycle with main distinct phases.
This is where the magic happens! Hair follicles are actively producing new hair.
This is a short period where hair growth slows down and the follicle prepares for resting.
The hair follicle takes a break from growing, and the existing hair eventually sheds in the Exogen Phase.
IPL hair removal targets hairs in their prime (Anagen phase). During this growth spurt, the hair is firmly anchored and has a rich blood supply. You can even see a jelly-like bulb at the root if you pull one out. Typically, 20% to 40% of your body hair is in this active phase at any given time.
