When you start with IPL hair removal, you want to know what to expect, when you will see results, and how long those results will last. IPL does not work in one go, but gradually builds up its effect. By consistently treating, you can enjoy smooth skin for a long time.
Immediately after the first treatment
After the first IPL session, most people do not experience significant side effects. The skin may feel warm or slightly prickly for a short time, but this quickly disappears.
It is normal for hair growth to still be visible in the weeks following the treatment. This does not mean that the treatment is not working. Some hairs were in a resting phase at that time and therefore do not react immediately to the light. IPL is most effective during the growth phase of the hair cycle. These hairs will be treated in subsequent sessions.
Approximately six weeks into the 12-week plan
After six weeks, a significant reduction in hair growth is usually visible. Many hair follicles are either eliminated or temporarily inactive at this point. Since not all hairs are in the growth phase simultaneously, it is important to continue the weekly treatments. This way, hairs that were not active in previous sessions will also be targeted.
After twelve weeks: visible results
After completing the 12-week plan, most people see good results. There is a significant reduction in hair growth and any remaining hairs are often finer and lighter in color. The skin feels smoother and stays that way for an extended period.
For many people, hair then stays away for three to six months. This can vary per person and depends on factors such as hair color, skin type, and hormones. The most important thing is that you have followed the treatment consistently.
Maintenance for long-lasting results
Although IPL offers long-lasting hair reduction, some hair follicles may become active again over time. This is normal and easy to maintain. One maintenance treatment per month, or treating when you notice slight regrowth, is usually enough to keep the skin smooth.
Summary
- After the first treatment, hair growth is still visible.
- Around week six, there is usually a significant reduction.
- After twelve weeks, the results are optimal, and hair often stays away for months.
- With maintenance treatments, the effect is long-lasting.
