Hey all, I currently can’t get laser for a variety of reasons, and was wondering if anyone knows if using IPL now effects my potential of getting laser in the future?

I know certain things can make laser less effective, but I couldn’t find any info about this. Thanks

    I honestly have a very bad experience with IPLs. I used one for several months once a week and, not only did mine break after 3 months, it also wasn’t really noticeable that anything happened.

    No, actually that was a lie. I did notice that, the space that was usually occupied with one hair now occasionally had a second (very thin) hair growing right next to it. It made me effectively have more body hair.

    I’m sure that it would have worked better if I kept it up for half a year more or so, but there where 2 more factors that made my stop using it:

    • the IPL impulses hurt my eyes even it had good skin contact
    • doing one session takes fucking for ever

    So in conclusion: save your money and save your time (imo)

    Edit to clarify: I mainly used it on my legs, I notices absolutely nothing on my face either though
