Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Is Half Arm IPL hair removal painful?

Discomfort is minimal and feels like a quick warm flick or light rubber band snap. Thanks to built-in sapphire contact cooling on our device, skin temperature is kept low throughout the procedure, making treatment across sensitive inner forearms and wrists very comfortable.

What area is included in Half Arm IPL?

You can choose between Lower Arms (from the elbows down to the wrists, back of hands, and tops of fingers) OR Upper Arms (from the shoulders down to the elbows). Lower arms are the most popular option for managing dark forearm hair and stubble.

How many IPL sessions will I need for half arm hair removal?

Because body hair grows in deep, distinct cycles, a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal permanent hair reduction.

Can I shave my arms between IPL appointments?

Yes! You can and should shave between sessions whenever necessary. However, you must strictly avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as these methods pull the follicle root out entirely, leaving no target for the IPL light beam during your next visit.

How should I prepare my arms before my IPL appointment?

Shave the selected lower or upper arm area cleanly with a fresh razor 12 to 24 hours prior to your session. Ensure skin is completely free of body lotions, perfumes, self-tanners, or oils on the day of treatment.
