Does Ipl Cause Increasing of Facial Hair

in very rare cases IPL can cause increased facial hair growth. It is more likely to happen when treating darker skin types and using low energy. Some patients with hormonal imbalances might notice more facial hair after the IPL, but again it is very rare. For hair removal, lasers work much better than IPL and the results are more permanent in the long term.

Hi Greece.  There is documented research showing that low fluence (power) IPL treatments can in fact stimulate hair growth.  

We would stick to laser treatments rather than IPL for whatever your facial skin condition s to help avoid the possibility of increased hair growth.

All laser hair removal devices carry the risk of making hair growth worse if used at too light of a setting.  It is thought that the suboptimal dose may create a survival mode to the hair.  This is how many new devices are coming to the market to try to treat balding by using low heat levels. So that being said, an IPL or BBL used at appropriate levels should not cause a problem unless you have some underlying medical condition that is causing excessive hair growth unrelated to the laser
