IPL Not Working? Here’s What You Might Be Doing Wrong & How to Fix It! 🚀✨

Not seeing results from your IPL hair removal device? Don’t worry! Here are common mistakes and how to fix them for the best results.


❌ 1. You’re Not Shaving Before Treatment

Fix: Always shave before IPL use—IPL targets hair follicles, not surface hair. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these remove the follicle.


❌ 2. You’re Not Using IPL Consistently

Fix: Use your IPL handset 2-3 times per week for 8-12 weeks. Skipping sessions slows progress!


❌ 3. You’re Using the Wrong Intensity Setting

Fix: Start with a lower setting and increase gradually for maximum effectiveness & comfort.


❌ 4. Your Skin or Hair Tone May Not Be Compatible

Fix: IPL works best on dark hair & light to medium skin. If your hair is blonde, red, grey, or white, IPL may not be as effective.


❌ 5. You’re Treating the Same Area Too Quickly

Fix: Glide slowly & ensure full coverage—rushing can lead to missed spots and uneven results.


❌ 6. You’re Not Avoiding Sun Exposure

Fix: Avoid tanning & sun exposure for 48 hours before & after IPL to prevent skin sensitivity.


🔑 Key Takeaway: Be Patient & Stay Consistent!

📅 3-4 weeks: Slower regrowth & finer hair
📅 8-12 weeks: Noticeable hair reduction
📅 After 12 weeks: Smooth, hair-free skin with occasional maintenance
