DPL HAIR REMOVAL
MYOMY WELLNESS
DPL (Dynamic Pulsed Light) is an advanced technology that offers a more precise and effective approach to hair removal compared to traditional IPL. Using narrowband light energy, DPL penetrates deeper into the skin, targeting the melanin in hair follicles with greater accuracy. This results in faster, longer-lasting hair reduction with minimal discomfort and fewer sessions required.
​​
How Does DPL Work?
​
DPL emits high-intensity light pulses that are absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles. This energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth without affecting the surrounding skin. Because DPL uses a more concentrated wavelength range than IPL, it provides better results on finer and lighter hair and is suitable for a wider range of skin tones.
Who is DPL Hair Removal Suitable For?
​
DPL is ideal for individuals looking for a long-term hair reduction solution on areas such as the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, chest, back, and face. It is best suited for:
✔ Fair to medium-dark skin tones with dark to light brown hair
✔ Those seeking a less painful alternative to waxing and laser hair removal
✔ Individuals looking for faster and more effective treatments compared to IPL
​
Contraindications – Who Should Avoid DPL?
​
DPL is not suitable for individuals with:
✖ Very light blonde, red, grey, or white hair (as it lacks melanin for effective targeting)
✖ Dark skin tones (as there is a higher risk of pigmentation changes)
✖ Recent sun exposure, sunburn, or fake tan
✖ Pregnancy or breastfeeding
✖ Active skin infections, eczema, or open wounds in the treatment area
✖ Use of photosensitizing medications (e.g., certain acne treatments, antibiotics)
What to Expect During the Treatment
​
✔ Quick & Comfortable: Sessions are fast, depending on the area treated (e.g., underarms in minutes, full legs in under an hour).
✔ Mild Sensation: Most clients describe a gentle warming or light snapping sensation during treatment.
✔ Gradual Hair Reduction: Hair will shed over the following weeks, with noticeable reduction after each session.
✔ Multiple Sessions Required: A course of 6-10 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
​
How to Prepare for DPL Hair Removal
​
✔ Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment.
✔ No waxing, plucking, or threading (shaving is fine).
✔ Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment.
✔ Avoid self-tanners or tanning beds for at least a week before treatment.
✔ Refrain from using active skincare ingredients (retinol, AHA/BHA) on the area for a few days prior.
​
Post-Treatment Care
​
✔ Mild redness or warmth is normal and should subside within a few hours.
✔ Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours.
✔ Apply soothing aloe vera or a gentle moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.
✔ Use SPF 30+ sunscreen on exposed treated areas to prevent pigmentation.
✔ Avoid waxing, plucking, or tweezing between sessions—only shave if neede
