Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments in the right hands are an effective, non-invasive procedure used to permanently reduce unwanted hair and improve many skin conditions. The secret to SHR’s virtually pain free treatment is the method by which the hair follicle is damaged. By using a sweeping, paintbrush technique with low doses of energy applied multiple times to the hair follicle, the SHR procedure is shorter than other IPL methods, more comfortable and gives top results. Alma Harmony Lite SHR works by gradually heating targeted hair follicles with gentle pulses of IPL energy. Because the IPL is constantly in motion, treatment is more similar to a hot stone massage than traditional IPL hair removal where a single high dose of energy is applied to the hair follicle, resulting is both pain and potential burns. The therapists at Natural Looks are fully qualified and highly experienced IPL safety officers. Prior to treatment we provide you with a comprehensive consultation, so that you can make an informed decision.
