Hair Removal FAQs
Why Do You Need to Shave Before Using an IPL Hair Removal Device?
If you read the instructions for a SmoothSkin hair removal device, you’ll be advised to shave the treatment area first. So why do you need to shave before use? Let’s take a closer look.
An IPL hair removal device should only be used after the hair has been removed from the skin’s surface. If the hair is not shaved, it may be singed by the light during treatment. In addition, the target area—the hair follicle—won’t be able to absorb the light properly.
If the hair is too long, the light energy can become scattered, reducing absorption at the follicle and wasting energy on unnecessary surface hair.
If any hair remains on the skin’s surface, it may burn during treatment. This can also damage the device’s front window.
Before using an IPL hair removal device, removing the hair is essential. So always shave first to help achieve the best possible hair removal results.
