General information IPL hair removal

  • Is IPL Safe?

 

There have been numerous studies worldwide showing the safety and effectiveness of IPL for hair removal. Due to this fact, it has become an extremely popular, safe and effective method of hair removal at home and in clinics.
  • Does it hurt?
One of the many advantages of IPL over other types of laser is that it is much less painful. Most customers explain the feeling as a warm feeling on the skin.
  • How often do you have to do an IPL treatment?
We recommend using a MyHappySkin IPL Hair Removal Handset every week for 10 weeks, or until the desired result is achieved. After this period once a month for three months or until the desired result is achieved. To maintain a smooth skin, we recommend that you keep using it 2-4 times a year.
  • How does IPL work?
Light energy from IPL is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then turns into heat and destroys the hair cells.
  • What is the difference between IPL Hair Removal and Laser Hair Removal?

Both IPL and laser hair removal use light and, in turn, heat to destroy hair from the root. The main difference between IPL hair removal and laser hair removal is the light spectrum used. IPL uses a wide range of wavelengths of light to produce a single white flash, while lasers use one wavelength of light that creates a single beam.

  • What is the recommended minimum age for use?
We recommend that handset users are at least 16 years of age or older.
  • Can there be side effects from an IPL treatment?
When you use the handset as prescribed, there will rarely or never be any side effects. Red skin and mild swelling are the most common side effects of IPL. However, this disappears soon after the treatment.
  • I smell a slight burning odor during use, is this safe / normal?
Sure enough, this is normal and not unsafe. As the light energy heats the hair, you may smell a slight burn, but this just means that there are some hairs that have not been shaved. Make sure you have prepared the skin correctly and that the skin is completely shaved before starting your session.

Important Safety & Skin / Hair Conditions Information

  • Can I sunbathe after a treatment?

We do not recommend sunbathing within 48 hours after the treatment. We also recommend not to have healthy for at least two weeks before a treatment.

This does not mean that you cannot go into the sun, use good sun protection and you can just go into the sun.

Our handsets are designed to be suitable for home use, so they are gentle on the skin. This means that it is also suitable for sensitive skin types.

IPL can absolutely be used for hormonal hair growth and has proven to be quite effective.
