Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 18-24 months, depending on body area (underarm, lower leg and bikini area can take the most time). We recommend doing a patch test before use. It works effectively on the upper lip, chin and jawline. It shouldn’t be used near the eyes and along the forehead.
BRAUN SILK IPL 5 SKIN
IPL is safe for use on the bikini line, but it isn’t suitable for the genital area where the skin may have a darker colour and where there is a greater hair density, which would absorb more light energy and may cause discomfort.īraun Silk-expert Pro is safe for use on the face below the cheekbones. Use on male beards or facial hair may lead to uneven results. It should not be used on the face, neck or genital area. Men can use Braun Silk-expert Pro from the shoulders down (chest, back, arms, stomach, legs). If your skin tone got darker due to artificial or natural tanning and your skin does not suffer from any irritation the Braun Silk-expert Pro device can be used as it will automatically adjust the energy level to the safest and most efficacious level and it will also tell you should your skin have become to dark for treatment. ➢Do I need to stay out of the sun before IPL? Since dark skin contains more melanin, it could absorb more than the safe, recommended amount of light energy which may cause discomfort. ➢Why isn’t IPL suitable for darker skin tones? The device is not effective on very blonde, red, grey or white hair where the smaller amount of melanin would not absorb the light energy. It is most effective on light to medium skin tones with hair ranging from natural blonde to dark brown or black. ➢I have red hair, can I use an IPL device?
