Why does the right IPL intensity matter so much?
The problem: every skin is different and needs its own intensity for safe, effective hair removal.
Intensity too high: at too high a setting on a darker skin tone, the skin absorbs too much light energy. This can lead to burns, blisters or hyperpigmentation. Many users do not know their skin tone and unknowingly choose an unsafe setting.
Intensity too low: for fear of skin damage, many users choose too low a setting instead. The result: the light pulses do not reach the hair root sufficiently and the treatment delivers little to no result, despite weeks of consistent use.
Laesera solves this with a built-in skin sensor that automatically detects your skin tone and adjusts the intensity, on every flash, on every area.
How does Laesera’s skin sensor work?
Automatic skin tone detection
On every contact with your skin, the built-in sensor automatically scans your skin tone based on melanin content. This happens again with every flash, including when you move between treatment areas with a different skin tone, such as from your legs to your bikini line.
Automatic intensity adjustment
Based on that measurement, the Nova One immediately adjusts the IPL intensity to a level that is safe and effective for your skin tone. On skin type VI the device blocks the flash automatically to prevent skin damage.
A safe and effective session
The result: the right intensity on every area, without manual settings or consulting Fitzpatrick charts. Suitable for skin types I to V, maximum results with minimum risk. Skin type V is suitable to a limited extent.

Frequently asked questions about skin sensor technology
What does the Laesera Nova One skin sensor do?
The built-in skin sensor automatically scans your skin tone before the light pulse is delivered. Based on that, the Nova One adjusts the IPL intensity to a level that is safe and effective for your skin type. You do not need to choose any settings yourself.
Which skin tones is the Nova One suitable for?
The Nova One is suitable for light to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I to IV). On dark skin (type V) IPL is suitable only to a limited extent and with extra caution: the lowest settings and a patch test beforehand. On very dark skin (type VI) IPL is not suitable because of the risk of skin damage. Unsure about your skin type? Take the skin type test for personal advice.
Can I set the intensity manually as well?
Yes, the Nova One has 5 energy levels you can select manually. The skin sensor acts as a safety limit: even if you manually choose a higher setting, the device blocks the flash if that setting is not safe for your skin tone.
How does the skin sensor work together with the ice cooling?
The two technologies complement each other. The skin sensor determines the right intensity for your skin tone; the ice cooling makes sure the session stays comfortable at that intensity. Together they make it possible to treat effectively without compromising on safety or comfort.
Is the skin sensor reliable on every body area?
The sensor measures again with every flash, whatever the area. Skin tone can vary between, say, your legs and bikini line, and the sensor adjusts automatically per treatment area. That way you get the right intensity on every area. The sensor works identically with the interchangeable attachments.
Can I use the Nova One on tattooed skin or scars?
No, the skin sensor cannot correctly recognise tattooed skin or scar tissue with irregular pigmentation. Do not use the Nova One on these areas. Only treat the skin around tattoos and scars, keeping at least 1 cm distance.
