Do I Need to Wear Eye Protection for At-home IPL Hair Removal Treatment?

August 29, 2012

I just bought a Remington iLight Pro for hair removal at home but it does not come with eye protection nor can i find a pair of protective eyewear specifically for IPL for less than $55. This seems outrageous. Are these really necessary? Would regular sunglasses help at all?
