This means that there is some energy and heat being dispersed across many spheres. The reason for this is because the energy being delivered from the device is ‘broad’ and not targeted or specific. There are also various at home IPL devices which claim to be able to treat a variety of different hair colours. The substandard heat being delivered to the hair using these home devices does cause some damage to the hair in the short term, however what we see eventually occurring is that what was once thick, dark and course hair (which is perfect for treatments with a targeted laser for example for maximum results) is now finer and discoloured hair which has a much harder time responding to hair removal treatment. Most at home IPL devices cannot deliver the amount of heat required to destroy the hair follicle permanently. If you purchase one of these devices which do malfunction or have not been calibrated in quite some time, you may risk being stuck with a poor investment which cannot be used or even worse, a dangerous device which is capable of causing burns, hyper pigmentation and scarring. Many at home IPL devices unfortunately do not offer this kind of service or fail to offer any sort of guarantee or repair service. For this reason, much like a car and regular servicing, these devices need to be regularly calibrated and checked to ensure they are delivering an accurate amount of energy. With any hair removal device whether it be an IPL or Laser, there is a gradual drop and variation in energy which occurs and this is due to the degradation of the components inside the devices. It is this skill coupled with over 10 years of laser hair removal experience that allows our therapists to treat at maximum yet safe intensity levels for the most effective hair removal results Calibration of device In a controlled environment such as our clinics across Melbourne, we are experienced in determining skin type and suitability for laser hair removal. Our first priority at Victorian Cosmetic Dermal Clinics is safety. You are risking severe burns and hyper pigmentation if treating an area which is not suitable (dark in skin colour, appropriate stage of hair growth, sun exposure or if you are under any medications which can make you more sensitive to light and heat) With at home IPL hair removal devices, unless you are a qualified dermal or laser therapist, it becomes very difficult to determine your own suitability for hair removal treatments, particularly with an IPL device. This blog will aim to outline some main issues to consider before going ahead and purchasing an ‘at home’ IPL hair removal device. ![]() While this has been seen as a plus for many consumers, they do not come without inherent risks and dangers. Recently, there have been many new IPL hair removal devices being released for the ‘at-home’ consumer market.
