Thank you for your question reza88. I understand your concern.
IPL is a great treatment for facial rejuvenation. IT can also be used for permanent hair reduction. It is important to understand that a series of 6-8 treatments is required. Sometimes after a treatment the hair is ejected and it appears that it is growing, but will actually fall out. Patience is important. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Thank you for your question.  Laser hair removal with any device, IPL or otherwise, is not a single treatment process.  With each treatment, we expect to see a little bit of reduction in the density of hair growth.  It often takes approximately 6 sessions to achieve a good result, and it may even require more treatments in some patients.  I would recommend following-up with your clinic to discuss your concerns.  Best of luck!
