This is a limitation of the technology, not this device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not suitable for very dark skin.\u003c\/strong\u003e The light targets melanin, and on deeply pigmented skin it can cause burns and pigment changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNever use it around the eyes, on the eyebrows, or anywhere on genitals.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid if\u003c\/strong\u003e you are pregnant, have a tattoo or mole in the area, are taking photosensitising medication, or have recently tanned or used fake tan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether your skin and hair combination is suitable, ask a professional before starting rather than patch testing your way into a burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long until I see a difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMost people notice thinner, slower regrowth after four to six weekly sessions. Full results take the whole 12-week course, because only hairs in the active growth phase respond to any one session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it permanent?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. IPL reduces and slows regrowth; it does not remove hair permanently. Expect to keep doing monthly top-ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it hurt?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt feels like a warm elastic band snapping against the skin. Uncomfortable rather than painful on the right setting. If it genuinely hurts, the level is too high.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velvara","offers":[{"title":"White \u0026 Gold","offer_id":54734026539346,"sku":"ZD-IPL-WG","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1109\/7630\/3442\/files\/hf_20260915_221140_b2747ea7-7c36-4c93-be7e-544d767d620a.png?v=1789510422","url":"https:\/\/checkout.velvara.net\/products\/at-home-ipl-hair-removal-device","provider":"Velvara","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
