IPL hair removal might not be suitable for you if you have:
- A pre-existing skin condition
- Skin issues like allergic dermatitis, eczema, or similar
- Photosensitive epilepsy or skin sensitivity to light
- Are menstruating, pregnant, or breastfeeding

IPL works best on people with lighter skin and darker hair. The device targets melanin in hair follicles, and darker hair absorbs the light more effectively. However, IPL may not be as effective for lighter hair colours (blonde, grey, or red) due to lower melanin content. For the best results, consult our skin tone chart before use.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is an FDA-approved technology that uses broad-spectrum light pulses to target melanin in hair follicles. The light generates heat, which disables the cells responsible for hair growth, leading to long-term hair removal.
Yes! Shave the treatment area before using the IPL handset for the best results. This ensures the light can target the hair follicles more effectively.
- Use the IPL device 3 times a week during weeks 1 and 2.
- Use it 2 times a week during weeks 3 and 4.
- Use it once a week during weeks 5 to 8.
- Use it once every 2 to 4 weeks after week 8 for maintenance.
Note: If you notice stubborn areas or thicker hair, you can adjust the frequency or increase the power level — but always monitor your skin’s reaction to avoid discomfort.
Absolutely! IPL is a safe and effective hair removal option you can use at home. This technology has been around since the 1980s and is trusted for its ease of use and proven effectiveness.
