How does an IPL device work?

An IPL device first attacks the melanin under your skin. When placed on your skin, it emits a light that goes deep inside the skin, causing the melanin to heat up. Once the melanin becomes hot, it puts the hair into a resting mode. This makes it weak, and eventually, it falls off. After some days, the entire process of hair regrowth starts, and it continues to grow until it is visible on the skin.

It is noticed that, if the IPL machine is used on a regular basis, it prevents the hair from reaching the surface and ultimately stops the regrowth. Which means, that it is as good as the machine used for laser treatments in salon.

What are the simple steps to use the IPL Device?

To use the IPL device well and to get maximum benefits, here are some simple steps to follow:

  1. Read the manual well before you start using the device. It is very important to understand every part of the machine and how to use it on the different areas of your body.  
  2. The next thing you need to do is to understand your skin tone and the hair tone. An IPL device will only work on the skin areas that are naturally white or dark brown in colour. It will also work only on hair that are naturally dark blonde, brown and black hair. With most of IPL devices, they can check your skin tone and automatically select the perfect setting for it.
  3. A patch test would be the perfect way to start using the device. So, 24 hours prior to the treatment, you can use the device on a small area of your skin. Do not forget to set the device according to your skin and hair tone. If you see any irritation, consult your dermatologist immediately. If not, you can use the device on the rest of your skin.
  1. Prepare your skin by keeping it clean, dry, and oil-free. Do not use chemicals or moisturizer on the skin before use.
  2. Now set the device with the right light intensity that is written in the manual. You need to also choose the right attachments for the device that is specifically made for the body part.   
  3. After use, make sure you clean the IPL device including the attachments with a soft cloth.
  4. Lastly, take care of your skin after the treatment by moisturizing it and keeping it soft and clean.

IPL devices can be repeated every fortnight for about six times. But make sure that you use high-quality device for effective treatment.
