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.
Does This Work On Blonde Hair, Red or White Hair?
Laser hair removal is not effective on red, very blonde, grey or white hair. The darker the hair the better the results.

Does It Hurt?
One of the biggest advantages of IPL is that it is far less painful than alternative methods of hair removal. Most customers explain the feeling as a warm sensation on the skin.
I have sensitive skin. Will this still work?
Our handsets have been designed to work on sensitive skin.
How Long Will It Take 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.
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.
Are There Any Side Effects?
When using the handset as recommended, side effects are rare. Redness and swelling is the most common side effect from IPL, which will quickly subside after treatment.
I Have PCOS, Will This Work For Me?
IPL can definitely be used on hormonal hair growth, and has proven to be quite effective.
If I Have Epilepsy, Can I Use This Device?
IPL will not be suitable for you if you have epilepsy.
How Old Do I Have To Be To Use This Device?
We recommend use for people 16 year or older.
Can I Use This Device If Pregnant Or Breast Feeding?
Although there is no evidence showing that IPL has negative effects on pregnant or breastfeeding women, we still don’t recommend using our handset without speaking to your Doctor first.
Can I Use This Device Over Freckles Or Moles?
You should not IPL over very dark freckles or moles, however light freckles are fine.
Can I Use This Device Over Tattoos?
You should not IPL over tattoos. The light energy will be more attracted to the pigments in the skin, rather than the melanin in the hair which can cause a reaction in the skin and blistering. You should always go around your tattoos.
Can I Use This Device Before Or After Tanning?
If you have recently been sun tanning, we recommend waiting 2 weeks before using your handset. You should wait 48 hours to tan after using your handset. The same applies for sun beds. We advise removing all artificial tan before using our handsets, as the light energy may be more attracted to the pigments in the skin, rather than the melanin in the hair. You can reapply the tan after your session once the skin has relaxed.
Will This Permanently Remove Hair?
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.
Is This Suitable For Men?
Definitely! Our handsets are suitable for both men and women.
