It depends on your individual pain threshold; any discomfort you feel is likely to be short-lived because IPL devices tend to work quickly, giving you little time to register pain. Results are permanent, but you’ll need more than one session to stop all hair regrowth in the treated area.

IPL uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths and is generally less targeted than laser. Laser hair removal uses a single, concentrated wavelength for more precise targeting of follicles, and can be more effective for certain skin and hair types. Both are popular long-term hair reduction options.

Most people require 6–12 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve significant, long-lasting hair reduction. Follow-up maintenance sessions may be needed 1–2 times per year. The number of sessions varies by hair colour, skin tone, and treatment area.

No. For IPL to work, the device needs to be able to distinguish between the colour of your skin tone and the colour of your hair; it’s therefore not recommended for use on black skin, nor for those with red or light blonde hair. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have a known medical condition, check with your doctor if it’s safe for you to try IPL hair removal.
