MUSE Mlay at home IPL device

IPL works thanks to a pigment present in the hair called melanin . Just as a dark surface absorbs more heat on a hot day, melanin helps the hair absorb the light emitted by the device's pulses.

This light stimulates the hair to enter its resting phase, interrupting its growth cycle. The result is smoother skin and progressively free of hair.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal devices use this technology to break the hair cycle and help reduce regrowth over time.

Most clients notice a reduction in hair growth after only 3-4 uses, and full results after 12 uses. If you notice that your hair has stopped growing, you don't need to complete the 12 sessions. You can move on to the maintenance phase.

For best results from the start, it is ideal to use IPL every two weeks for the first four or five sessions. After that, short touch-up sessions once a month, or once every two months, will be sufficient.

After the initial phase, you can continue treatments according to your needs. After all, each person is different and, as such, may need maintenance treatments at different frequencies, which is perfectly normal.

The IPL hair removal process may cause some discomfort, but it is generally well tolerated by most people. The sensation is often described as a slight prickling or popping sound, similar to the touch of a rubber band snapping against the skin.

To be completely transparent, no, no hair removal method can be classified as "permanent." IPL is considered semi-permanent and requires maintenance treatments. Maintenance can be done once a year or even after 3 to 5 years, depending on the individual.
