Intense Pulsed Light hair removal at home has arrived 
at last. 

Now you can enjoy all the benefits of long term hair 
removal, without the expense of frequent salon treatments. 

Developed and manufactured in the UK by Rio, the 
Intense Pulsed Light Hair Remover incorporates the 
very latest technology to give you a quick and easy 
treatment in the comfort of your own home. It’s ideal for 
treating large areas – your legs, chest, back, underarms 
and bikini line, and now you can also treat facial hair. 
And, unlike many other hair removal methods, the treatment
programmes are quick, easy and actually enjoyable. 

 

How it works 

Everyone’s hair grows differently, depending on age, weight, metabolism, hormones, ethnicity, medications and other factors. However, all hair goes through three distinct phases: 

Anagen or active growth phase – when hair grows actively.
Catagen or degradation phase - when hair stops growing but is not yet shed.
Telogen or resting phase - when hair falls out and a new hair begins to form. 

IPL treatment is effective when the hair is in the active growth phase. And because at any one time there is only a percentage of hairs in this phase (the actual percentage varies from one body area to another) some follicles will be destroyed, others may be reduced to producing only vellus hairs (light fine hairs) and some will be disabled - helping prevent hair regrowth. 

To achieve this, the Intense Pulsed Light Hair Remover sends pulses of intense light directly to the hair follicle, with enough energy to either destroy or disable the root but without affecting the surrounding area. And as IPL covers a much larger area than the relatively small treatment spots achieved with lasers, you see and feel the results much more quickly. Which, of course, is just what you want – all-over soft, silky smooth skin.

Suitable skin types 

The Intense Pulsed Light Hair Remover is suitable for fair coloured skin through to olive skin types. For effective treatment the hair needs to be darker than the surrounding skin; the best results are usually achieved on pale skin with dark hair. 

Also, we usually find that different power levels are required on different body areas, so you should test each area to establish the appropriate maximum power level for you – it’s easy to do as our step-by-step DVD shows you exactly how.
