SAFETY FEATURES
The device has a skin colour sensor. This skin colour sensor prevents you from treating your skin if it is too dark or too tanned.
The device also has a built-in UV filter that blocks harmful UV rays.
The device has a built-in skin contact sensor to protect the eyes. The sensor was developed so that no light pulses can be emitted when the device is held in the air. A light pulse is only emitted when the skin contact sensor is in full contact with the skin.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
IPL hair removal treatment can take several weeks or months to show results. The time it takes depends on the condition being treated, the patient's skin type, and the size of the treatment area.
Please refer to the hair growth cycle image
The typical hair growth cycle is different for individuals and depending on your body area could take up to 18-24 months. For example, areas like underarm, lower leg and bikini area can take the most time.
You may have to do multiple IPL treatments at home to get continuously smooth skin, as only the hair in its growing phase is receptive to flashes of light.
In order to completely deactivate all hair roots, the treatment must be carried out several times in the first four months. Six applications are recommended, the first three at two-week intervals, the following three at four-week intervals. However, this depends on the type. You can put together a precise application plan with a reminder function, tailored to your skin type, in the "beurer myIPL" app.
Due to the nature of the hair growth cycle, complete hair removal could take 18-24 months, and thereafter maintenance may be required.
If you notice that your hair growth has reduced or stopped, you can then move to maintenance treatments.
If you want radiant hair free skin in summer, due to the typical hair growth cycle taking 18 – 24 months, repeated maintenance application is advisable.
To avoid annoying hair in the summer, refresh the treatment every year in winter.
Please note that at least one complete hair growth cycle is required to achieve permanent hair removal using the Beurer IPL devices.
