A Beginner's Guide to Using a Handheld IPL Device Correctly

First-time IPL users often make the same two mistakes: treating tanned skin (which increases risk of irritation) and skipping the patch test. Before your first full session with the DermaSilk IPL Hair Remover, test a small area and wait 24 hours to confirm your skin responds well.

From there, work in small, overlapping sections, keeping the device flat against skin for full contact. Areas like the underarms and bikini line need lower intensity settings than legs or arms, since skin there tends to be more sensitive.

Full details are in Whole-Body Smoothness, and you can find the device on its product page.
