IPL HAIR REMOVER
What is the difference between IPL and a laser?
There are two big differences between Lasers and Intense
Pulsed Light. Generally IPL covers a much larger area than
the relatively small treatment spot with lasers and therefore
treatments of larger areas are much quicker. The other
difference is the wavelength of light produced. Lasers produce
light with a specific wavelength whilst IPL uses a broad
spectrum of wavelengths. This limits IPL to specific skin types.
How big is the treatment area?
20mm x 10mm
Why is it important to shave?
It is important that any area being treated is shaved so all the
light energy is directed straight to the hair root for maximum
effect. This also prevents burning of the hair above the skin
surface which can be uncomfortable. Hairs that burn can also
cause damage to the treatment head.
What safety features does it have?
The main safety feature regulates the power level, so that it can
only be increased by 1 step per treatment, starting from power
level 1. This reduces the risk of using too high a power level.
Power can be decreased in as many steps as required.
Other safety features include:
• Akeylock.
• Asecuritycodetopreventmisuse.
• SkinsensorstoensureIPLtreatmentonlyoccurswhen

• Overtemperaturedetection.
Are there any side effects?
As with all hair removers which use light energy, there may be
slight reddening of the skin after use or lightening of the skin in
patches. They should both disappear within 24 hours.
