What is IPL hair removal?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broadband pulsed light source that emits a beam of light that heats up the melanin in your hair follicles causing the root to be damaged. With repeated use, IPL delays the production of new hair preventing regrowth over time. The energy of the light, frequency of usage and colour of your hairs are all determining factors in defining how effective the IPL treatment will be. The best results are achieved on people with dark hair and fair skin, but if you have sensitive or slightly darker skin then you may have to repeat the IPL process more times to achieve the desired result as it must be treated with lower energy to avoid discomfort.
What are the benefits of IPL?
IPL technology has advanced significantly and is no longer a luxury reserved for celebrities. Now, you can get permanent visible hair removal results in the comfort of your own home. The main benefits? IPL provides you with permanent hair reduction. It’s also convenient and private, allowing you to perform it at your own convenience. Additionally, lplas IPL allows you to choose a sensitive mode for first-time users or when treating sensitive areas like bikini lines.
What’s the difference between IPL and laser hair removal?
Don’t confuse IPL with laser hair removal. Laser treatments use a different light source and target a more concentrated area. The laser method is often more powerful.
You can use IPL devices at home, but if you want laser hair removal you’ll need to have it performed by a trained professional
How to choose the right IPL hair removal device?
The number of flashes: This is the number of times the device can emit a flash. Most have a minimum of 100,000 but once this runs out, you'll need a replacement lamp. You can’t get replacement lamps for all devices, while some devices offer unlimited flashes.
The number of treatment heads: If you plan to use the device on smaller areas, a head that comes with a smaller treatment window is more efficient.
The level of intensities: This impacts how often you’ll need to use the device and whether you can adapt the intensity to suit more sensitive areas.
The number of modes: Most devices offer glide and stamp modes, with some also offering a “gentle” mode.
Speed: The shorter the time between flashes, the quicker the treatment process.
Automatic skin tone sensor: Some devices detect the optimum intensity and safe settings for your skin tone.
Corded or cordless: Some devices can be used cordless, for ease of use and transportation.
Is IPL hair removal safe?
IPL is considered safe to use, providing the device is from a reliable, trusted brand and instructions are followed as advised. Occasionally, some people may experience side effects such as redness, discomfort or, very rarely, blisters or burns. If any irritation occurs, consult a medical professional.
How to use IPL devices
For IPL hair removal to work effectively, some hair is required to allow the light to target it, so it’s best not to wax or epilate before your session. Shaving beforehand is advised though, as the light can then reach hair directly at the follicle. If your hair is too long, it runs the risk of burning the skin.
For best results, regular IPL sessions are required. Each brand advises how often to use their machine, and when you can expect to see results.
Does IPL hair removal hurt?
The level of discomfort varies from person to person, but the sensation can feel quite tingly and hot - it’s sometimes likened to being flicked with a hot elastic band. The process is quite quick, though, so the pain doesn’t last long.
Most devices have a range of heat settings to make it more comfortable too, especially in areas that are more sensitive. It's important to remember that a lower intensity is also less effective, so keeping it at this setting would require you to use the machine for longer.
If you’ve tried epilating and couldn’t get through it without your eyes weeping, rest assured this is a more pain-free method!
Who can use an IPL hair removal device?
IPL devices aren’t suitable for everyone, as they’re only able to identify and target hair pigment that is a contrasting shade to the skin.
Naturally light blonde, red, white and grey hairs contain little pigment, so IPL typically isn’t as effective on people with these hair shades, whatever their skin colour. They also don’t work on dark skin tones. Typically, those with pale to medium skin and dark hair are the best candidates for IPL.
Note that they aren’t suitable for pregnant women, or those with certain skin/hair conditions, or those undergoing particular treatments. They also don’t work on tattoos or permanent makeup – so always check the small print before you buy.
How many IPL treatments does it take to see results?
Typically, IPL devices should be used regularly for four to 12 weeks, to make sure all visible hair has been treated. Hair should start to appear finer and grow back slower, or not at all.
Top-up sessions can be done where there is any regrowth. Results vary depending on the use of the device and your skin/hair type.
