Yes, IPL hair removal is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional or when using a certified IPL device at home. However, it is important to follow the instructions carefully and avoid treating areas with tattoos, moles, or open wounds. It is also recommended to do a patch test before starting full treatments to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

The number of IPL sessions needed for hair removal varies depending on individual factors such as hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. On average, most people require 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. It is important to note that IPL hair removal is not a one-time treatment and requires multiple sessions for long-lasting hair reduction.

IPL hair removal can be effective on a wide range of skin types, but it may not be suitable for very dark or tanned skin. This is because the melanin in the skin can absorb the light energy, potentially causing skin damage. It is best to consult with a professional or refer to the product's specifications to determine if IPL hair removal is suitable for your skin type.

Yes, IPL can be used on the face for various treatments, including hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and reducing the appearance of acne or pigmentation. However, it is important to use caution and follow the instructions carefully when treating the delicate skin on the face. It is also recommended to avoid direct contact with the eyes and to protect the skin with sunscreen after treatment.

Some common side effects of IPL treatments may include temporary redness, mild swelling, or a sensation similar to a sunburn. These side effects usually subside within a few hours. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided and avoid excessive sun exposure or heat treatments immediately after an IPL session.

IPL can be used on various body parts, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, chest, back, and face. However, it is important to ensure that the specific IPL device or treatment is suitable for the desired body part. Some devices may have attachments or settings specifically designed for certain areas, while others may not be recommended for use on sensitive areas. Our Device has different strength settings. On sensitive areas try the lowest setting first and work your way up.

IPL hair removal can provide long-lasting hair reduction, but it is not considered a permanent solution. While IPL treatments can significantly reduce hair growth, some hair follicles may become dormant and reactivate over time. Periodic maintenance sessions may be required to maintain the desired results.

IPL serves as a constructive strategy for reducing the incidence of ingrown hairs by curtailing hair growth. While it may not entirely eliminate existing ingrown hairs, it can mitigate their future occurrence.

We recommend waiting until hair growth maturity to begin IPL hair removal treatment. This typically occurs at around age 16, though certain ethnicities may see hair growth maturity at younger ages.

Anyone under 18 years old should seek parental consent and an expert opinion from an aesthetician or dermatologist before using a Caeli IPL handset.

We do not recommend performing IPL treatment over very dark freckles or moles, though light freckles are typically fine. If you have an area you wish to treat that has dark freckles or moles, we recommend coloring over them with a white pencil before treatment.

We do not recommend performing IPL treatment over tattoos as it could result in painful burns, but going around tattoos to treat an area is fine.

IPL is optimally effective when it interacts with hair containing melanin, the pigment responsible for coloration. Consequently, it is generally less effective on gray or white hair, which lacks melanin. The selectivity of IPL toward melanin necessitates an alternative approach for individuals with predominantly gray or white hair.

IPL technology is versatile enough to be safely applied to sensitive skin. Nevertheless, it is imperative to exercise caution by utilizing lower intensity settings and conducting a preliminary test on a small skin area to avert any potential irritation or adverse reactions. This approach ensures that IPL remains a viable option for those with sensitive skin types.

To optimally synchronize with the hair growth cycle, IPL sessions are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This interval permits the treatment to target hair in its active growth phase, enhancing the efficacy of each session.

Yes, there are IPL devices available for home use. These devices are designed to be safe and effective for personal use, following the provided instructions. However, it is important to choose a reputable brand and ensure that the device is suitable for your skin type and hair color.

While it is acceptable to shave between IPL sessions, other hair removal methods like waxing, plucking, or epilating should be avoided. These approaches remove hair from the follicles, rendering the IPL treatment less effective, as it relies on intact hair follicles to achieve its intended outcome.

The application of IPL on tanned or sunburned skin is inadvisable, as it elevates the risk of skin damage and complications. To ensure the safety and efficacy of IPL treatments, it is best to engage in them with skin that is in its natural state, devoid of tanning or sunburn.

IPL treatments are not advised during pregnancy, and caution should be exercised during breastfeeding.
