I have been using an at-home ipl for reducing hair growth on my legs for about a year. I recently read that ipl also helps with broken capillaries or spider veins. I have a few on my legs, but I haven't noticed any difference. Do the at-home devices not work for broken capillaries, or is there something I should be doing differently to target the veins? I've only been focusing on hair removal, but I go over my entire legs, so it should still help with the veins.
I have read that most home IPL device brands advice not to go over areas with moles and tattoos, because the device targets areas that have pigments that are darker than (or in contrast with) your skin color. How then does this work on areas with KP, especially those with hyperpigmentation and scarring from KP
I did IPL by myself with a Braun handheld device. After a few times these black specks appear and I've read about it online but they don't flake off ? When I use tweezers to pull them out they are short stubbles of black hair . My aunt says I have to pluck them all or 3-4 more hair will grow from that one pore in the future. I'm not sure because if I pluck them out , since it's the burnt hair, won't the hair grow out and the IPL will be a waste ( I've read online to not wax the hair after IPL)
Hi, I would like to buy an IPL hair removal device due to the constrictive price of professional treatments. I have done some research into devices and plan on buying a high-end on such as the Phillips Lumea or Braun SilkEffect. I am aware that these devices work well on light skin and dark hair. Although I have dark hair, my skin is not light, although it is not dark either. Please advise whether IPL machines will be effective on my skin tone.
