What is IPL hair removal?

IPL stands for intense pulsed light. Home devices send broad-spectrum light pulses that target pigment in the hair, helping reduce regrowth over a course of regular treatments.

Home IPL is best described as long-term hair reduction, not guaranteed permanent removal. Maintenance sessions are normally required and individual results vary.

Does IPL work for everyone?

No. Suitability depends on the exact device, skin tone, hair colour, medication and health history. It is commonly ineffective on very light blonde, white, grey or red hair, and many devices are unsuitable for very dark skin.

When should I begin before summer?

Many device routines need several weeks of consistent use. Autumn, winter and early spring can be convenient because avoiding sun exposure around sessions is generally easier. Follow the device manual.

Can men use home IPL?

Many devices are suitable for selected body areas on men, but exclusions differ. Men should follow the manufacturer’s body-area and safety guidance, particularly for the face, neck and genital area.
