Frequently asked questions
FAQ
What is IPL hair removal and how does this technology work?
The device uses broadband light to target the melanin at the roots of hair, heating and damaging
them over time so that hair growth can be reduced.
Is IPL hair removal suitable for all skin tones and hair colours?
IPL is most effective when the skin is lighter and the hair is dark, a combination that creates a
contrast in melanin content. The technology has advanced so that now a broader range of skin
tones is safe. This technology is not as effective for very light blonde, copper red, or gray hair.
Does IPL hair removal hurt?
Most users report a little snap-like feeling, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
Discomfort level may vary depending on individual sensitivity and the area.
How many IPL sessions does it take to see results?
Typically, visible hair reduction is achieved after six to eight sessions, each spaced four to eight
weeks apart. Individual results may vary depending on hair type and growth cycles.
Can men use IPL devices for hair removal?
Yes, men can benefit from IPL hair removal products if they wish to remove hair from areas such
as the back, chest, shoulders, and neck.
How does IPL differ from laser hair removal?
IPL involves a broad spectrum of light, whereas laser treatments produce light in the form of a
focused beam. Lasers are often more accurate and provide longer-lasting results than IPL devices,
though IPL devices are typically more cost-effective and can be used at home.
Are at-home IPL devices effective?
At-home IPL devices can be effective. They may require greater time and consistent use than
professional treatments, however. Safety and following instructions are crucial to getting the best
results.
What should I do before and after an IPL treatment?
Don't sunbathe right before treatment and stop using tanning products. Once the treatment is
over, moisturize your skin and guard it from the sun to minimize potential side effects such as
redness or swelling.
Can IPL be used on sensitive skin areas?
Yes, although some parts of the body, such as the upper lip or bikini line, may feel more sensitive
to treatment due to thinner skin. By adjusting the intensity of the device and observing comfort
guidelines, users can manage discomfort.
What technological advantages does Semino's Plush Gun IPL Laser Hair Removal Devicehave over standard IPL devices?
Semino's Plush Gun offers adjustable intensity settings and a cooling function to reduce
discomfort. This makes it easy to customize the IPL hair removal experience for each user's
requirements, while making it user-friendly.
