Why Some Skin & Hair Colors Are Not Suitable?
IPL technology works by targeting melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle.
For the light energy to work effectively, the hair must contain enough pigment, and there must be a clear contrast between hair color and skin tone.
- Very light hair (white, grey, red, light blonde) contains little melanin, so the light cannot be effectively absorbed.
- Very darker skin contains higher melanin levels in the skin itself, which may absorb too much light energy and reduce treatment safety.
