IPL Hair Removal: Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Answers 🤔✨

Got questions about IPL hair removal? Our My IPL experts are here to give you the answers! Whether you're new to IPL or looking to maximize results, here’s everything you need to know. 🚀


🔹 1. How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?

✅ IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) targets melanin in hair follicles, using light energy to slow regrowth and reduce hair permanently over time.


🔹 2. How Long Until I See Results?

📅 3-4 weeks – Hair grows back slower & finer
📅 8-12 weeks – Significant permanent reduction
📅 After 12 weeks – Maintenance sessions every 4-6 weeks keep skin smooth!

🔑 Consistency is key for long-term results!


🔹 3. Does IPL Work on All Hair & Skin Types?

Best for: Dark hair on light to medium skin tones (strong contrast helps IPL target follicles).
⚠️ Less effective for: Blonde, red, grey & white hair (lower melanin levels).
⚠️ Caution for darker skin tones: Use a lower intensity setting to avoid irritation.


🔹 4. Is IPL Painful?

No! Most users feel a gentle warmth or light tingling, far more comfortable than waxing!


🔹 5. Can I Use IPL on My Face & Sensitive Areas?

Yes! Safe for the bikini line, underarms & face (below cheekbones). Always patch test first!


🔹 6. Do I Need to Shave Before Using IPL?

Yes! Shaving ensures IPL targets the follicle, improving results. Avoid waxing or plucking.
