Difference Between Professional and Home IPL?

April 4, 2013
Asked By:cinnan

Heard about Philips Lumea IPL home hair removal system. On their website it says that the machine makes hair follicle to go to resting phase. So unless the device is used frequently, the hair will eventually grow back. Was wondering if salon quality IPL and laser treatments do the same thing, or do they actually destroy the hair root completely, so it never grows back, even if no regular treatment are made? Thank you very much!
