Myth

All IPL or laser hair removal is the same so just shop for the cheaper price.

Truth

This is so not true. You must be very careful and ask the correct questions to avoid a burn or no result.

  • The operator must be Laser safety qualified
  • They must do a consultation with you to make sure you are suitable to have the treatment.
  • In that consultation they should use a tool to measure your melanin content so they can set the machine correctly so as not to burn your skin
  • The word IPL is just an anagram meaning Intense Pulsed Light it does not mean the all IPL will work at the same level and remove hair permanently.   The machine that produces the IPL is what will control your results.
  • If the machine is of high class you may only need to have facial hair treated at 3 to 4 week intervals and may need about 6 treatments depending on your hormones. Body hair the intervals between treatments is 6 to 8 weeks and you usually only need 4 to 6 treatment to be pretty hair free. You may need a touch up every 12 months or so if dormant hair comes through.
