Q: How many flashes do the original or cheaper IPL device has?
The lamps are rated for up to 300,000 pulses of light before becoming ineffective.
Q: How Does KetchBeauty IPL work?
The KetchBeauty At home IPL device works by emitting light pulses that target the dark, melanin-filled hairs. These light rays signal your body to send the melanated follicles into a resting phase. This resting phase leads to the hair root being separated from the wall of the cell. Once the hair root is floating freely, it can’t get access to any nutrients and eventually falls out.
Q: Is KetchBeauty IPL permanent?
Continuous use may significantly slow hair growth over time; results vary, and maintenance treatments may be needed.
Q: Does IPL work for all skin tones and hair colors?
You should refer to the Fitzpatrick Scale to see if IPL treatments are suitable for your skin tone. Those with skin tones VI on the scale should not use this IPL.
Also, as red, very light blonde and gray/white hair do not contain enough melanin, IPL energy will not work on these hair colors either.

Q: Is IPL safe?
IPL is a widely used at-home hair removal treatment, but it is not suitable for everyone; follow the manual and the cautions below.
We always advise that you exercise caution when treating yourself as not everyone is suitable for IPL treatments. Due to the level of melanin in the skin, some darker skin types will not be able to use IPL. The same applies if you have a recent tan.
Additionally, we advise checking with your doctor first if you are taking medication that may make your skin sensitive to light. People with Epilepsy should not use this product as the IPL has a bright flash.
Q: How long will it take before I start seeing results from IPL?
Some customers begin to notice a reduction of hair after 3-4 treatments, with more noticeable reduction after 12 treatments. However, results vary from person to person.
Q: Does IPL Hurt?
Most IPL users face some discomfort akin to a rubber band being flicked. However, compared to other treatments offered, IPL is much more tolerable and very popular.
Q: Do I need to wear eye protection when using the IPL?
No, it isn't necessary to wear eye protection while using our handset. Our handsets are fitted with a sensor and will not pulse and light unless the entire window is pressed against your skin. That being said you should never try and look directly into the light as it flashes. People with Epilepsy should not use this product as the IPL has a bright flash.
Q: Can I go swimming after IPL treatment?
Don't Swim for 24-48 Hours After Laser or IPL treatments.
Water activities, like swimming in the ocean or a pool, are a fun part of summer that you wouldn't want to miss out on. Just make sure you wait 24-48 hours after your laser treatment.
Q: Which areas of the body can I use the IPL on?
You can use your handset on your entire body, including your Brazilian and face (just be sure to not get too close to your eyes)
Q: Do I need to shave before using the KetchBeauty IPL?
Yes, you should shave the desired areas before using your KetchBeauty handset.
Q: Which hair removal methods can I use between IPL treatments?
Between treatments, you should only shave when required. You should never wax, pluck, or epilate as these hair removal methods remove the entire root, which is what absorbs the light during the treatment.
Q: Can I use the IPL product before or after tanning?
If you have recently been tanning, we recommend waiting 2 weeks before using your handset. You should wait 48 hours to tan after using your handset. Artificial tan should not be on your skin while using your handset.

You should not IPL over tattoos. However, going around tattoos is fine.
Q: Is it safe to IPL over freckles or moles?
