I would like to have IPL treatment done for hair removal in my bikini area? Is it safe? I have seen many reviews on burning due to sensitivity, however, most referred to facial and neck areas. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance :)

Answer: IPL Hair Removal Treatment for the Bikini Area?
IPL hair removal depends on your skin type and your hair color. It really should not be done on sun tanned skin. While it is not as effective as some lasers there is no reason why it should not be done successfully in well chosen individuals using proper technique.

Answer: IPL Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal can be done with a variety of different machines - IPL, diode laser, alexandrite laser, etc. It is my experience that the treatment with an IPL is slower and more painful for the patients. Diode and alexandrite lasers tend to be faster and less painful. Additionally, I believe they yield better results. With that being said, for any laser procedures you need to shop around for the best facility; do not go for the cheapest price. Burns can be a risk, but usually not with experienced offices and technicians. When technicians try to perform procedures too quickly, with not enough gel, or try to get "more removal" with higher settings, this is when we tend to see problems like burns.
