Anyone using IPL at home needs not only a device but also consistent preparation and aftercare. The exact instructions vary per device, so your model's manual remains the primary guide.
Before the Treatment
Start with clean, dry skin and remove any products that might cover the skin. Shave if the manual instructs you to do so. Also, check if your skin and hair type fall within the device's usage conditions.
Test and Start Gently
If the manufacturer prescribes a skin test or patch test, perform it. Start at the recommended level and only increase according to the instructions.
After the Treatment
Keep the skin calm and immediately after treatment, avoid products or activities that should be avoided according to the instructions for use. Protect exposed skin from UV radiation during the day.

When to Stop?
Discontinue use if you experience unexpected or severe skin reactions and consult a qualified professional if in doubt. Do not use the device outside of the manufacturer's conditions.
FAQ
Can I sunbathe immediately after IPL?
Follow the specific safety instructions of the device. If in doubt, caution is advisable, and additional UV exposure directly around a treatment is not something to plan for.
Do I need to shave?
That depends on the device and the method. Follow the instructions for your model.
