Worried. Will Ipl on Fine Downy Hair Stimulate Hair Growth?

Tags: face, female, top lip

I have had 9 ipl ( dermalight) treatments on face and underarms. The results show some reduction. I had a few slightly darker hairs (maybe 6) on upper lip and the odd one on chin. Electroylsis was not successful so I tried ipl. Majority of my hair is blonde peach fuzz. The woman doing my face also did sides chin etc as a favor even though hair is blonde. I have read that ipl can cause hair growth if done on blond hair. I have not seen this yet. Last treatment was 2wks ago. Should I be worried?
