WHAT IS IPL? 

IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. It's a process where the IPL discharges light of many different wavelengths, like a photo flash. 

 

HOW DOES IT WORK? 

The IPL handset is directed onto your skin in little pulses, targeting and heating up the hair follicle to get rid of a portion of it with each treatment.  Over time, with repeated treatments, the hairs grow back less frequently and finer. 

 

WHO IS IPL SUITABLE FOR?

The IPL handsets can be used by all genders.  

 

DOES THE IPL HANDSET WORK ON ALL SKIN COLORS?  

Our IPL handset works for most skin colors, but DO NOT USE if your skin is darker than the skin tone chart below.  Very dark skin can absorb too much light energy from IPL devices, and harm your skin. 

 

I HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN.  HOW CAN I SEE IS THE IPL HANDSET IS SUITABLE FOR ME?

It's best to use a skin test for the first time using the IPL Handset.  That way you can confirm there is no adverse reaction before using the handset on a regular basis.  For your first time on a try it on a certain body area or a test patch.  The test area should be about 1in x 1in.  You should try from the lowest gear and gradually build up to higher gears over several treatments.

 

DOES THE IPL HANDSET WORK ON ALL HAIR COLORS?

IPL depends on melanin within the hair absorbing the light energy, and thus IPL is not as effective on exceptionally light blonde, red, or grey hair.  

 

WHAT ABOUT EYE SAFETY?

Just like any lighting device such as tanning beds, phototherapy, red light therapy or flashlights, looking directly into the light will harm your eyes. 

IPL devices releases flashes of Intense Pulsed Light. Direct exposure can potentially cause harm to your eyes.  Mind the security safety measures below:

• DO NOT look straight into the treatment window of the handset 
• DO NOT attempt to activate the flash system towards the eye
• DO NOT treat areas around the eye such as your eyebrows or eyelashes
• ONLY turn on the flash system when the front of the handset is in good contact with the zone you want to treat.
• The IPL isn't suggested for utilization on male facial hair unless you want permanent results

 

SHOULD I WEAR I PROTECTION?

Eye protection is recommended.  If you choose not to use eye protection goggles, then DO NOT look directly into the light as it flashes.  Make sure the front of the handset is in good contact with the zone you want to treat.  

     

DOES IPL HURT?

Most people describe the feeling as a warm sensation and tingling on the skin

 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY IPL TREATMENT? ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Some people will experience mild redness on the skin (similar to a sunburn). This is often typical while using the IPL handset. The redness will usually disappear within 24 to 48 hours after use.  

  

HOW OFTEN CAN I USE IT?

A typical treatment plan involves using the IPL once a week for 12 weeks and after this initial 12 week treatment, using once a month until you are happy with the results.

For ongoing maintenance of your new, we recommend using the IPL every 2-3 months as needed. Keep in mind that IPL works on the hair when it is growing, so once per week is the maximum that will be effective (no need to do more than once per week).

 

HOW LONG BEFORE I SEE RESULTS?

Depending on your skin and hair type, results vary for each person but you will usually notice a reduction of hair after 3-4 treatments, with many customers seeing complete results after 10-12 treatments.

I NOTICED A SLIGHT DARKENING IN THE IPL LIGHT, IS THAT OKAY?

Due to the intense light produced, there is also some heat generated which may cause the light to blacken slightly. This is normal and the unit's performance will not be affected by this. 

 

THERE'S A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL?

This is completely normal and usually occurs when there is still some hair that hasn't been shaved. It's important to thoroughly prepare the area before starting the IPL treatment as per the instructions.

DO I NEED TO SHAVE BEFORE USING THE IPL?

Yes, we recommend you shave the areas prior to treating, ensuring no hair remains. As the IPL works by targeting the hair follicle, it's important that you only shave (Do not wax/pluck the area, as this will reduce the effectiveness of the IPL).

 

WHICH HAIR REMOVAL METHODS CAN I USE BETWEEN IPL SESSIONS?

Between IPL treatments, we recommend only shaving if necessary. Any waxing/plucking will remove the hair follicle and limit the effectiveness of your IPL treatments.

Our handsets are not cordless and need to be plugged into the power supply to ensure maximum effectiveness.

 

DOES IPL REMOVE HAIR PERMANENTLY?

While it's semi-permanent, all IPL treatments will require maintenance over time as the hair generally will start growing back. After the initial 12 week treatment, most users only need to use the handset every 2-3 months to maintain!

 

CAN I SHARE THE HANDSET WITH SOMEONE ELSE?

We recommend using your own device to ensure you maintain the setting and cleanliness of your own handset.
