1. What is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light, also known as IPL.
2. How does IPL work?
Light energy from IPL is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then turns to heat and destroys the hair cells.
3.How long will it take before I start to see results?
Most customers begin to notice a reduction of hair after just 3-4 treatments, with complete results after 12 treatments. However,results vary from person to person.
4. How often do I need to use it?
We recommend using your handset once a week for the first 12 weeks. After this period use your handset once a month, for 3 months or until satisfied. To maintain hairless smooth skin, use your handset once every 2 to 3 months, or as needed. There is no need to use it more than once a week, as IPL is only effective in the growing phase of your hair cycle.
5.Which areas of body can I use it on?
You can use your handset on your entire body, including your Brazilian and face (just be sure to not get too close to your eyes).
6. Does IPL work on all hair colors?
IPL relies on melanin in the hair absorbing the light energy, and therefore IPL is not effective on very light blonde, red, or
grey coloured hair.
7. Is IPL safe for all skin tones?
IPL is suitable for all but the darkest skin tones. This is because the light energy may be more attracted to the pigments in the skin rather than the melanin in the hair. Refer to the skin tone chart below to see whether or not IPL is suitable for you.
8. Does IPL remove hair permanently?
You actually have to be careful when anyone claims ‘permanent’ hair removal as all forms of IPL hair removal require some
maintenance, or eventually the hair will start growing back. After completing your initial sessions with our handsets you will only have to use your handset once every 3 months to maintain smooth, hairless skin.
