Usage Frequency

Weeks 1–4

Treat 2–3 times per week.

During the first few weeks, hair starts shedding, and density decreases by up to 96%. Growth along the hairline slows down, while central areas may take longer to respond.

Consistent use ensures all hairs are treated as they cycle through different growth phases.

Weeks 5–8

Treat once a week.

As hair reduction progresses, most treated hair falls out, although some stubborn hairs and those still in the resting phase may remain during this stage.

Regular sessions help target lingering strands and hairs in the resting phase.

Weeks 9–12

Treat once every two weeks.

Near the final stages, nearly all hair stops growing, with up to 99.99% hair reduction achieved. You may see minor regrowth, but it’s hardly noticeable.

Treat any occasional regrowth that occurs for a smooth finish.

After Week 12

Treat 1–2 times per month.

With consistent maintenance, your skin stays smooth long-term, and only occasional touch-ups should be necessary to remove periodic regrowth.

Regular touch-ups preserve results and prevent any new hair from growing back.

Essential Tips

Patch test first.

Start at the lowest setting on a small area, flashing 1–3 times. Gradually increase the intensity on different spots until reaching the highest setting. If no adverse reactions occur within 24 hours, proceed with your full treatment. Stop use if discomfort arises.

Be consistent.

Consistent use ensures the best long-term results. Stick to your schedule, and you’ll typically begin seeing results in 1–4 weeks, and smooth, hair-free skin in about 4 months. Allow 48–72 hours between treatments to prevent irritation and ensure safe, effective results.

Choose the right power level.

Start with the lowest setting, especially if you have sensitive skin. Gradually increase as your skin adjusts to minimize discomfort and maximize effectiveness.

Hydrate and protect your skin.

Avoid sun exposure after treatment and apply SPF 30+ to prevent irritation or pigmentation changes. Stay hydrated by drinking water and moisturize daily for better IPL results.
