- WHAT IS IPL ?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsated Light, a type of technology used by cosmetic practitioners to perform various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, including hair removal, photorejuvenation as well as to alleviate dermatologic diseases such as acne.
- DOES TREATMENT HURTS?
One of the many advantages of your BodyHealthToday Handset over other types of laser is that it is pain-free. Most customers explain the feeling as a warm sensation on the skin.
- HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE START SEEING RESULTS ?
Most users start to see a reduction of hair in just 2-3 treatments using our handset, with complete results after 9 treatments. However, results can vary from person to person.
- HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO USE THE HANDSET ?
We recommend using your handset once a week for the first 8 weeks. After this period we recommend using your handset once a month, for 2 months or until satisfied. If you would like to maintain hairless, smooth skin, we recommend using your handset once every 2 to 3 months, or as needed.
- WHICH AREAS OF MY BODY CAN I USE THIS ON ?
You can use your handset on your whole body, including your brazilian and face (just be sure to not get too close to your eyes)
- WHICH HAIR REMOVAL METHODS CAN I USE BETWEEN TREATMENTS ?
Between your treatments you should only shave when necessary. We recommend never waxing, plucking, or epilating as these hair removal methods removes the entire root, which is what absorbs our handset's light during the treatment.
- DOES MY IPL HANDSET WORK FOR ALL HAIR COLOURS ?
Yes! Your Handset works on both dark and light/white hair colours, if your hair is lighter you may just need 1-2 sessions more to achieve the same results as someone who is brunette for example.
- IS MY IPL HANDSET SAFE TO USE WHILE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING ?
Although no evidence stating that IPL has negative effects on pregnant or breastfeeding women exists, we still
do not recommend using our handset if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, just as a precaution.
- IS MY IPL HANDSET SAFE TO USE OVER TATOOS ?
No, you should not IPL over tattoos, although going around tattoos is fine.
- CAN I USE MY IPL HANDSET BEFORE OR AFTER TANNING ?
If you have been tanning recently, we must recommend waiting 2 weeks before using your handset. Please also wait at least 48 hours to tan after using your handset. Artificial tan should also not be on your skin whilst using your handset.
- ARE THERE ANY REOCCURRING COSTS ?
No, unlike laser-clinics, our handset is a once-off purchase. There is no need for replacements or refills.
Simply plug in and go!
