How To Prepare For Your IPL Hair Removal Treatment

How to Prepare for Your IPL Hair Removal Treatment at Home

If you’re new to IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal, you might feel a little unsure before your first session. Don’t worry — it’s a simple, safe, and effective treatment that becomes second nature with the right preparation.

Unlike laser treatments, IPL uses broad-spectrum light at varying wavelengths to target hair follicles and rejuvenate the skin. It’s commonly used not only for hair removal but also for treating skin concerns like redness, acne, and pigmentation.

🌞 Before Your IPL Session: What to Avoid

To ensure a safe and effective treatment, proper preparation is essential. Here are the key things to keep in mind:

• Avoid sun exposure for at least 7 days before treatment
  (No tanning beds, spray tans, or self-tanners)
• Apply sunscreen daily (SPF 30+ is best)
• Stop using skin irritants like:
  • Retinols / retinoids
  • Exfoliating acids
  • Toners with alcohol
    (At least 3 days before treatment)

Tanned or irritated skin can increase the risk of side effects, so prepping your skin properly is critical.

🧴 On the Day of Treatment

Before using your SmoothSkin IPL device, make sure to:

• Cleanse your skin thoroughly
  (Remove makeup, sunscreen, lotion, or oils)
• Shave the treatment area to ensure light reaches the hair follicle
• Wear protective goggles if treating areas near the face or eyes

💡 During Treatment

Once you’ve selected the appropriate intensity level based on your skin tone and sensitivity, begin applying the IPL device across the desired area. Move slowly and steadily, overlapping slightly to ensure full coverage.

You may notice:

• A mild flash of light — more surprising than painful
• A warm sensation or light heat — usually temporary

If needed, you can apply a cold compress immediately afterward to soothe the skin.

🌟 Aftercare & Results

Post-treatment care is minimal, but for best results:

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, or harsh skincare products for 24 hours
• Continue applying SPF daily
• Moisturize your skin to keep it healthy and hydrated

With regular use, you’ll start to see:

• Slower, finer hair regrowth
• Smoother, rejuvenated skin
