    IPL or intense pulse light is a device that can reduce pigmentation, treat redness, unwanted hair as well as sun damage. IPL is ‘do it all device’, however, in the majority of cases, it has been replaced with better, more effective laser devices. We still use IPL to treat extensive areas such as the chest, arms, back & legs.
    .
    What is IPL?
    IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. BBL or Broad Band Light is a term used to describe a particular type of IPL. Both devices deliver light to the upper layers of skin.
    IPL uses different filters, much like different wavelengths of laser light. Depending on the filter chosen, we can target pigment (melanin) or red blood vessels (hemoglobin).
    IPL is not as efficient as lasers, however they are still used to treat large areas of skin.

    I will say, I have very sensitive skin, and while mostly it doesn't hurt, the cooling doesn't quite stop the "zap" of heat from being irritating on the most sensitive areas of skin. Particularly, my chin area and creases of my armpits, it's noticeable and kinda hurts but mostly I don't feel much. It can get pretty hot quickly though, so be sure you shut it off and take a break if it's getting too hot. The forced air out the side can be pretty hot. I just got my ulike air 3 and I've used it about 4 times, I think? Too early to judge but overall, I'm pleased with the cooling and auto-pulse setting it features.

    I tried this! My recommendation is do not purchase it! I’ve been using it for almost 6 months every other day. It takes about 1.5hrs out of my day to do my whole body and after 6 months the hair growth is almost the same. The difference is hardly noticeable. My hair still grows back thick and dark within a day or two. You would think that after this long, you could see a bigger difference. At this point I would advise to not waste your money and time on this and just get it done professionally.

    Dr. Lim, I bought this per your recommendation. I read the directions and test patched a spot on the side of my neck. I was wearing the IPL glasses as tightly to my eyes as possible, but I could still see it pretty strongly and there is a small gap in coverage with the glasses given they aren't goggles. Are the IPL glasses safe enough? My eyes feel slightly odd after like an old fashioned camera flash.

      @daniellacseccxcsciences7461 10 місяців тому +3

      Im no expert but I have an ipl I bought online. It also came with glasses. But the instructions also specify that you should not be looking directly at the light even with the glasses on. So try positioning the Lazer and then look away before you flash the light. It makes the process a tad more complicated but I feel like the extra precaution is necessary.

      @LisaK-lj3vt 10 місяців тому

      @@daniellacseccxcsciences7461 I agree. I've only looked at it by accident while it was pressed against my skin and wearing the glasses. It was disturbingly bright even then. I'm a bit afraid of treating myself again knowing during the tedious use of it I accidentally look in the direction of it, even while using it flat on the skin. I was curious if anyone else had their eyes feel weird even when they see the light with the glasses on and the unit on the flat on the skin?

      I've looked at it by accident also. But I haven't experienced the effect you're explaining so it makes me wonder now if maybe your glasses are not giving you as much protection. Or if you were doing your face at the time having the light closer could be the reason.

    If you go to a real doctor to have an IPL, they will tell you that IPL can make your skin extremely sensitive to the sun. Even the light coming through your car window can cause serious hyperpigmentation on your face up to 9 months after treatment. For those of us that may be outdoorsy, consider that this may not be the best time of year to start this treatment on any area that may be exposed to the sun. I think it is very irresponsible for a physician to peddle this item without sharing the serious potential consequences of using it.
    Also, it may not work for everyone, and a rare few individuals will get hyperpigmentation that does not go away or faster and thicker hair growth. It may only be true for a few individuals, but if you are one of those people, it’s devastating. Go to a salon and schedule a treatment, have them patch test an area of your skin to see how your skin reacts, before using this on your whole body.
