Here's an excerpt from a recent article about Intense Pulsed Light in the Halifax Evening Courier
Health and Beauty: The easy way to remove hairA new survey claims that 98 per cent of British women are uncomfortable with their body hair. We meet one who decided to do something about it
In bathrooms and beauty salons throughout Britain, women are fighting a secret battle with body hair.
It's one of the last great female taboos. While the modern woman is willing to expose more flesh than ever before, the vast majority of us get rid of our body hair believing it is unfeminine, unattractive, even disgusting.
So in order to make ourselves more beautiful, we practice some form of hair removal such as razors, wax, sugar, electrolysis, depilatories, tweezers, rotary epilators, laser and
intense pulse hair removal and medications.
Hair removal is a multi-million pound industry in the UK and it seems more and more of us are prepared to spend a fortune in pursuit of a smooth body.
One such woman is 34-year-old Rachel Hoyle of Sowerby Bridge. Rachel has spent thousands over the past few years in an attempt to permanently remove her body hair. She has had everywhere from her eyelashes south treated with
IPL (intense pulsed light) technology and considers it money well spent.
"I don't like body hair. It makes me feel grubby which is why I decided to get rid of it permanently. It's probably only cost me the same as three years of waxing and it's gone forever," says Rachel who owns her own cleaning business.
She says she not only feels cleaner and much nicer with smooth skin, but it saves her lots of time when she goes out socially, goes to the gym or goes on holiday.
Her favourite hair-free bits are her legs – because they are on show more than other areas – and she says her partner definitely approves of her smooth body because her legs are never stubbly.
"I have dark hair and pale skin so my hairs used to be noticeable. If any hairs do grow back now, they tend to be blonde and a lot finer."
Intense pulsed light technology is where a flashlight is guided in a glass prism over the hair.
The pigments in the hair (melanin) absorb the light converting it to heat and destroying the hair follicle.
