Frequently Asked Questions About IPL Hair Removal cont
•Can I use other hair removal methods between treatments?
Because IPL treatment needs a hair to be present in the follicle, hair removal methods
which pluck the hair, such as waxing, epilators and tweezing are NOT suitable for use
between treatments. Bleaching hairs is also NOT suitable as it removes the pigment and
renders IPL treatment ineffective. Shaving, micro-dermabrasion discs and cream
depilatories are ideal for use between treatments.
•Why is it important to shave?
It is important that any area being treated is shaved so all the light energy is directed
straight to the hair root for maximum effect. This also prevents burning of the hair above
the skin surface which can be uncomfortable.
•What safety features does it have?
The main safety feature regulates the power level, so that it can only be increased by 1
step per treatment, starting from power level 1. This reduces the risk of using too high a
power level. Power can be decreased in as many steps as required. Security key to
