Intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal is a modern and effective way to say goodbye to unwanted hair in the comfort of your own home. With LuxIPL , you benefit from advanced technology for visible results without pain. But did you know that proper aftercare after each session is essential to protect and enhance your skin? Discover our tips for transforming each treatment into a true moment of well-being.
🌿 Why take care of your skin after an IPL session?
During the session, your LuxIPL device emits an intense light that targets the hair root. This process may slightly heat the skin and make it more sensitive immediately after treatment. Taking care of your skin allows you to:
-
Minimize redness or burning sensations,
-
Prevent irritation,
-
Prolong the softness effect and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
🧴 The right actions to take immediately after the session
To give your skin the comfort it deserves:
✅ Gently moisturize the treated area with a soothing cream or gel without alcohol or irritating fragrance. Aloe vera is an excellent option.
✅ Avoid excessively hot water for 24 hours: opt for a lukewarm shower and avoid long baths, steam rooms or saunas.
✅ Do not scratch or rub your skin vigorously.
✅ Wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to reduce friction, especially on sensitive areas like the bikini line or underarms.
💧 Hydration: your best ally
Well-hydrated skin stays soft and radiant longer. Here are some recommendations:
-
Apply your moisturizer morning and evening , even on days without an IPL session.
-
Drink enough water every day to nourish your skin from within.
-
Avoid abrasive treatments (scrubs, peels) for 3 to 5 days following the session.
☀️ Be careful with the sun
After an IPL session, the skin is more sensitive to UV rays. To avoid spots or irritation:
✅ Avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment.
✅ Apply sunscreen of at least SPF 30 if you have to go outside.
✅ Choose shade and wear covering clothing to protect the treated area.
🔄 When should I schedule my next session?
For best results with LuxIPL:
- Initial phase : perform 1 to 2 sessions per week for 4 to 6 weeks.
- Maintenance phase : 1 session every 2 to 4 weeks depending on regrowth and your comfort.
The secret? Listen to your skin and stick to your routine.
💎 Bottom line: Pamper your skin to maximize the benefits of LuxIPL
