Can IPL Be Used on the Scalp for Hair Removal?

Question

Is it safe to use IPl in the scalp, so I don't need to keep shaving every two days?

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

I would not recommend IPL for hair removal, quite simply, because it's an older technology and takes a long time to do a full head. I would recommend a diode laser or Alexandrite laser for hair removal. But yes, you can have laser hair removal on the head; I just wouldn't do it with an IPL.
