So that answers ‘what is IPL?’ – now for the details. IPL works thanks to a pigment in hair called melanin: much like a dark sheet on a hot day, the melanin helps the hair absorb the light from the flashes, stimulating it to go into its resting phase. This leaves you with smooth, hair-free skin.

So, how do you do IPL hair removal at home? 

1. Shave, epilate or wax the area to remove the hair. If you choose to epilate or wax, make sure you do it the day before you do your treatment. 

2.Select the right light intensity for your skin tone.

3.Turn the machine on, and wait for the ‘ready to flash’ light to come on.

4.Press the ‘flash’ button.

5.Move on to the next spot!

It takes less than 8.5 minutes to do your lower legs with the ipl hair removal mnachine. Once the hair stops growing back, you can leave out the shaving step and just use ipl machine to keep your skin beautifully smooth.

To see positive results from the get-go, use the ipl hair removal machine once every two weeks for the first four treatments. After that, you should only need to do minor touch ups every 4-8 weeks.
