can i use ipl right after shaving
Hey Akon, can I use IPL right after shaving ?
Hey! Yeah, actually it's recommended by most skin care professionals to shave before IPL treatments. It allows the IPL technology to work more effectively, as it targets the pigment in the hair and delivers the light energy directly to the hair's root.
Is it okay if I use it immediately after shaving or should I wait for a bit?
Most guidelines suggest shaving at least 24 hours before having an IPL session. This gives any potential skin irritation from shaving time to calm down before the session.
What if I get some redness or bumps after shaving, is it still safe to use IPL?
If your skin is sensitive and you experience irritation after shaving, it's advised to wait until these symptoms disappear before going for an IPL treatment. You want your skin in the best possible condition before the session.
Thank you, Akon for these clear responses.
