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.
For optimal results, use IPL three times a week during the first 4 weeks. Then, reduce usage to twice a week from weeks 5-8. In weeks 9-12, use the device once a week to maintain results. After 12 weeks, continue with selective touch-ups as needed to keep your skin smooth and hair-free. Adjust frequency, if necessary, based on your hair growth and skin's response.
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.
Not at all! IPL is usually described as a warm, tingling sensation—far more comfortable than waxing. If you have sensitive skin, you can adjust the power level to a gentler setting for added comfort.

Session times vary by body area, but most treatments only take a few minutes. Treating your entire body with IPL will take about the same amount of time as a session at a clinic—only at a fraction of the cost!
Yes! For the best results, shave, clean, and dry the area you're treating. This will help the light reach the hair follicle and maximize the effectiveness.

You can use IPL on almost every body part, including your upper lip, underarms, legs, and even your Brazilian area. However, avoid using IPL around your eyes, and never look directly at the light during a session.
You can continue shaving, but avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as IPL needs a hair to focus on in order to disable the hair follicle.

While we recommend avoiding IPL during pregnancy or breastfeeding, please consult with your doctor for more personalized advice.
We recommend finishing your IPL sessions before tanning, as any tanning residue on your skin can interfere with the treatment.
Avoid using IPL directly on tattoos. However, you can safely treat areas around your tattoos.
You should not use IPL over dark freckles or moles. Treat areas around them, but not directly on them.
