hair removal using pulsed light; photoepilation
Refers to a cosmetic procedure that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) or similar light-based technology to remove hair. Common in beauty and dermatology contexts.
Recently, more people are undergoing photoepilation treatments.
Photoepilation is said to be less painful than laser hair removal.
Compound of 光 (ひかり, 'light') and 脱毛 (だつもう, 'hair removal'). The term likely emerged with the development of IPL and similar light-based hair removal technologies.
