However, IPL hair removal is not suitable for all skin types.IPL hair removal is available for people with lighter skin and is not suitable for dark skin. Dark colors are much easier to absorb more light, resulting in burning the skin and causing other severe side effects.

Also, IPL hair removal is not suitable for people with red, blonde, or gray hair. The reason is that the melanin in the hair of these colors is low and light energy can not be absorbed.

Is Every IPL Hair Removal Device the Same?

The design of the 330°rotating head allows you to get rid of body hair within 7 minutes. Importantly, JOVS adopts three pioneer innovative hair removal technology--- Targeted treatment, MFCPT, and advanced OPT hair removal.

Targeted treatment refers to 6 treatment modes for different areas, each mode with 6 levels of intensity. It has the ice cooling head, with full-screen ultra-thin sapphire, which makes hair removal treatments painless. JOVS reaches a more effective, safe, and long-standing result.

MFCPT(multi-frequency continuous pulse technology) is more effective than traditional IPL technology. The principle is that the light energy absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft is transformed into heat. Then the heat destroys the hair. It ensures that the hair destroyed will not grow back while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

Advanced OPT continuous pulse technology increases efficiency by 60% compared with other IPL hair removal machines. This reduces the treatment cycle and improves the hair removal result.
