The micro IPL device is pulsed light hair removal device. Light-based hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis in which optical energy is used to disable hair growth. The micro IPL device is composed of a hand held applicator and an external power supply. The spot size (treatment area) in the micro IPL device is 3 cm2. The device contains a lamp, a skin proximity sensor and a skin pigmentation sensor to detect appropriate skin tones. If the micro IPL is not properly applied (in full contact with the skin) or user skin tone is too dark/tanned, the micro IPL will not trigger a pulse.
