Benefits of Home IPL Hair Removal Treatments
- Convenience. The biggest benefit by far is the convenience it offers. Busy mums can treat themselves while baby is asleep, on the weekend while hubby is home or when everyone is asleep at night.
- Privacy. You are in your own home and no one else needs to know what you are doing. This is perfect for those who are more modest and especially for men who may be embarrassed to visit salons or admit they are a little too hairy.
- Ability to Tailor Results. You can focus on problem areas, patches that haven’t responded as well to give you better results.
- Quick. Home IPL hair removal devices still over quick results with both lower legs and underarms only taking 20mins to treat.
- Effective. While the IPL treatments vary from Laser, they too are effective, however, you will need to treat yourself more regularly initially and then continue with maintenance treatments.
- Easy. After getting rid of the majority of unwanted hair, occasional maintenance treatments are required. With a home IPL hair removal system, you can treat these as and when required with ease.
- Cost. Home IPL treatments offer a far more cost-effective option than visiting a salon to get numerous treatments. For the laser to be effective, you need at least 8-10 treatments plus the occasional maintenance treatment. If you get more than one area treated, for example, treating your underarms and half legs, you can expect to pay around $29+$79 per visit. At 10 visits you have already spent over $1000 a price higher than many IPL home treatments and if you purchase your own at home IPL treatment – you can treat all of your body (plus hubbies).
- Less Painful. IPL is less intense than laser which offers a benefit in that there is little to no pain other than occasionally in sensitive areas.
Will IPL Hair Removal Work For You?
Before you invest in a Home IPL Hair Removal device, ensure that your skin tone and hair colour are conducive to good results with the laser treatment. In general, laser and IPL on blonde, red and grey hairs are ineffective. If you have a light skin tone, the laser is more likely to work for you and if you have a dark brown to black skin tone you need to seek advice as laser and IPL treatments may affect your skin pigmentation.
If you are considering doing home laser hair removal, here are our tips to make the laser treatments more effective.
- Getting ready. Prior to your treatment, you will need to shave the hair on the treatment area. Do not wax or epilate as this removes the hair at the root. IPL Treatments work by zapping the hair at the root; hitting and destroying the hair follicle. If you remove the hair from the roots, your treatment is likely to be ineffective.
- No Creams. Do not apply cream or sunscreen prior to your IPL treatment.
- Exfoliate. A few days after treatment, it is best to exfoliate your treated areas with an exfoliating glove to ensure that any regrowth does not become ingrown.
- When doing large areas, you can use a highlighter to mark your legs into squares/sections. You can then focus on treating each square. This makes it easier to know where/what you have treated and what you still need to do.
- If you are quite sensitive and find the IPL treatment too painful, take a Panadol 30minutes before treating yourself.
Please note: While we say permanent hair removal, there are times when the follicle isn’t damaged enough and/or it recovers. You will still find from time to time that you receive a little bit of ‘maintenance’ hair growth. This growth at least is generally finer and thinner.
