follicles to temporarily go dormant, thus producing after a while. To ensure that the does not grow back, you should repeat the treatment every 4 to 8 weeks.

Select the appropriate light intensity

IPL Treatment devices have different light intensities. The intensity of the light you need depends on your skin tone.

The effectiveness of the device also decreases, because the flashes of light cannot reach the follicles. It is good to consult the manual to see which light intensity is best for you.

Before treatment

For the first 3 to 6 treatments, it is important that you epilate or shave the area where you want to remove 24 hours before the treatment. 

This is because the flashes of light heat the follicles to ensure that the hairs stop growing for a time. So if there is IPL Treatment they can get burned and that doesn’t smell good. Do not use hair removal cream or lotion before starting IPL treatment. 

This prevents the flashes of light from reaching the hair follicles well and the cream or lotion can burn during the treatment.

The IPL Treatment
