Long term hair removal with Rio Intense Pulsed Light The Rio Intense Pulsed Light hair remover uses the latest intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. Placed gently against the skin, pulses of intense light are delivered directly to the hair follicle with enough energy to destroy the root without affecting the surrounding area. IPL delivers quick and efficient long term hair reduction and is suitable for larger areas such as legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, chest and certain areas of the face. The Rio IPL hair remover can be used safely on the face within the area illustrated by the white dotted line (below right). The Rio IPL hair remover should not be used around the eyes or on the lips.
