VpL is a process of hair removal that is very safe and can treat broad areas of hair in one visit. The purpose of a photo-thermal treatment (VPL) is to raise the temperature of the target area (in this case the hair) to a critical level in order to destroy it, whilst making sure that the surrounding tissue stays in good shape. The Hair needs to be heated to a 70 Degrees to destroy the bulb follicle while leaving the skin temperature under 50 Degrees, this can only be achieved with short bursts which allows the skin to cool between pulses, therefore the hair is heated but not the skin. So VpL not only protects the skin but also reduces client discomfort and the risk of unwanted side effects, this also allows a greater range of skin colourings to receive VpL Hair removal treatments.
