If a hair follicle is permanently damaged from IPL treatments, is a facial hair transplant the only way to restore hair growth?
We used to use IPL for laser hair removal about 10 years ago but have since moved toward Alexandrite and Diode lasers because they work more effectively and efficiently. With that being said, it is still possible for IPL to permanently damage a hair follicle and prohibit it from growing hair. If you have areas you wish to remain capable of growing hairs, then do not treat those areas with IPL (such as a beard area for a man).
