FAQs

Can I use IPL on my pubic area? ›

IPL hair removal is a progressive treatment that offers full body hair removal - but you can use IPL to treat separate areas, such as your arms, legs, or pubic area, depending on your individual needs. When using IPL, you'll hold a flashgun device that delivers a spectrum of light to the skin.

Efficacy. Long-Term Reduction: Home IPL devices offer long-term hair reduction. With consistent use, they can significantly reduce hair growth over time. Traditional methods provide temporary results, requiring frequent maintenance.

After a single session of laser hair removal, some hair will grow back. However, it will be finer and lighter than before. For optimal results, patients usually undergo multiple sessions. Each session leads to a greater reduction in hair regrowth.

You can use at-home IPL devices on any area of the body where hair is found, whether that means treating your facial hair or giving yourself a full Brazilian, according to Dr. Shirazi.

Unlike waxing where you need to brace yourself for extraction, which just hurts, or shaving that leaves you with grazes, nicks and hairy prickles. To prepare for your first IPL treatment, you will need to shave the treatment area beforehand so that the hair follicles can adequately absorb the laser light.

For this reason, we recommend a start-up phase of 4-12 weekly treatments to achieve optimum results. If you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. You can switch to maintenance treatments.

Long-lasting Results

Unlike temporary treatments such as shaving or waxing, IPL targets the hair follicles beneath the skin's surface, and when used properly, it can significantly reduce hair growth. You may even go two months without growing hair!

Are all at-home IPL devices the same? ›

The price: The price is an important factor to consider, but you must remember that an entry-level IPL device may not have the same features or qualities as that of a high-end IPL device. However, it is also not necessary that the best device for you is the most expensive one.

While IPL treatment is an easy, effective hair removal method for some, it unfortunately isn't suitable for darker tones of skin. This is because melanin pigments aren't just in our hair – they're also present in the skin, too.

Using IPL too often can be ineffective and painful. IPL is most effective while your hair is in the growth phase –if you treat your skin multiple times a week, your hair can become dormant and IPL treatment won't work as well. Additionally, while IPL is a gentle treatment, too much of it can be a bad thing.

Neither treatment is permanent permanent, but the results for both IPL and laser hair removal can last for months, and both devices are FDA-approved for reducing the amount of hair regrowth over time. The IPL treatment might save you some discomfort compared to laser, though.

You can use home IPL 2 times a week over 8 weeks. That comes out to about 8 sessions per month. After that first course of treatment, you'll likely need touch-ups every few months to maintain that smooth skin. If you don't need treatment during those maintenance sessions, skip it.

You will notice that the hair growth after four weeks of IPL treatment will be lesser and thinner. After completing a session of 12 weeks, the hair growth will reduce completely, providing you with silky, smooth skin for a longer time. However, you may have to continue touch-ups as needed.

Downsides of At-Home Laser Hair Removal Treatment

The risk is especially high if you use a machine that's incompatible with your hair color and skin tone. You may also be prone to redness and irritation if you treat sensitive skin and delicate areas such as pubic hair.
