From the embarrassing wax to the expensive and often painful laser appointments, sometimes your personal hygiene just isn't pleasant. If you are looking for a convenient and comfortable way to banish hair growth, IPL devices are one of the most modern solutions. They use broad-spectrum light wavelengths to break down hair regrowth cycles in the upper layer of skin. It's safe to use at home, so you never have to go through the pain again. With two treatments by week, Zephyr™ promises long-term hair removal that lasts up to six months. It does this by stopping the hair regrowth cycle in the upper layer of the skin.

Is IPL Hair Removal Permanent?
It's true that IPL hair removal can be permanent. The Food and Drug Administration, FDA, defines permanent hair reduction as long-term, stable hair reduction. It's a different concept from never growing hair again or permanent removal of that hair. As long as your body is alive and operational, follicles will attempt to rejuvenate and produce hair even if they grow back more sparsely. A device like an IPL or laser treatment may put the follicles in a dormant stage but eventually your body will grow hairs thinner and more infrequent no matter what you choose for a treatment.

When you want to get permanent hair removal with handheld IPL hair removal devices at home or by going to a laser clinic, be prepared for multiple treatments before you see any significant results. The good news is that handheld IPL and in-clinic laser treatments work equally well when it comes to achieving permanent hair removal. While in a clinic, one specific wavelength is emitted, while handheld IPL devices use several different wavelengths filtered through the one needed for your specific skin type. IPL devices can also be used for other skin disorders like facial flushing and rosacea while keeping your skin looking smoother.

IPL technology is a new hair removal option that could be effective for you. These treatments involve directing an intense pulse of light to the root of the problem, which makes this relatively fast and effective for hair removal. To maintain these results, you will need to get 6-8 treatments over time. The length of time and effectiveness of IPL depends on a number of different factors—including your skin tone, hair color, and hair thickness.

 Are Odelyne Zephyr™ and Ruby™ hair removals as effective as in-clinic laser?
Some people who are considering purchasing the Odelyne Zephyr™ and Ruby™ may wonder how it stacks up to what they would experience in an in-clinic laser treatment. But, there are a lot of similarities! So, how does the IPL Laser Hair Removal compare to being laser hair removal in a clinic? The IPL Laser Hair Removal and clinical laser treatment both use light therapy, which work by emitting wavelengths that target the pigment in our hair. When exposed to an area with this treatment, it is absorbed by the pigment and converted into heat energy which kills the hair follicles (hair growth cells). This process causes hair to grow back slower and more sparsely over time - because the follicles has been damagedby repeated exposure to light therapy.

The end results are nearly identical for the Odelyne Zephyr™ and Ruby™ hair removals and an in-clinic laser treatment: a gradual reduction of hair growth over several treatments that will eventually result in permanent hair reduction. However, there are a few minor differences between laser and IPL.

Length of Treatment
Depending of type of hair you might need up to 12 weeks of single weekly treatment with IPL to get complete results. Typically, people will notice more sparse or slower hair growth within the first month with permanent reduction in hair growth. In contrast, most people looking to achieve permanent hair removal with clinic treatment options require four to six laser sessions spread over six weeks which can take up to nine months. By contrast, our Odelyne Zephyr™ IPL Laser Hair Removal requires just three short months.
While the hair follicles will eventually regenerate, they can be maintained and prevented from regenerating by in-clinic and IPL treatments. In some cases, you might need one to two sessions annually of laser treatment to maintain your hairless skin. The Odelyne Zephyr™ IPL Laser Hair Removal can be used every 3-4 months on your skin and hair type at home depending on newly grown hairs and receding hair follicles.

With one is more convenient?
Cost and convenience are both important to the effectiveness of IPL treatment. If it's not convenient or cost-effective, it will be hard to maintain. Handheld IPL devices are not only less expensive but also easy to use and more convenient as they can be used at home. In-clinic laser treatments, on the other hand, require in-person office visits and are also more expensive. This makes people less compliant with upkeeping their recommended laser treatment plan and can result in incomplete treatment of the clinic laser sessions compared to the the Odelyne Zephyr™ and Ruby™ Hair Removal results.
