2. How Homelight® works
Homelight® from BaByliss is a personal depilator that uses IPL (intense
pulsed light) for easy and sustained removal of unwanted hair that will
not grow back.

2.1. IPL technology

Using IPL technology, Homelight®painlessly removes hair by emitting
pulsed light. The pulsed light targets the pigment present in the
hair (melanin) to get through to the root and prevent the hair from
growing back. Therefore, the more melanin the hair contains (i.e. the
darker the hair colour), the more light the hair can absorb and the
more conclusive the results will be. IPL technology has been used
widely by professionals for more than 15 years and clinical studies
have proven that it is effective and safe.

2.2. Hair growth cycle

The hair growth cycle plays a key part in the process of IPL depilation
using Homelight®. Therefore, it is important to understand how the
full hair growth cycle works in order to achieve lasting results with
Homelight® .
The hair growth cycle consists of three successive phases:
• Anagen (hair growth phase)
• Catagen (hair transition phase)
• Telogen (hair resting phase)
