Is it safe to IPL over freckles or moles?

General information only, not medical advice. Check your device manual and talk to a qualified professional about your skin and hair type, especially before treating areas with moles.

When it comes to using IPL for hair removal, many people wonder if it's safe to use on areas of the skin that have moles or freckles.

While IPL is used by many people for hair removal, it's important to take precautions when treating these areas to avoid potential risks or side effects.

 

Firstly, it's not safe to use IPL directly over moles. Moles have a higher concentration of pigmented cells than the skin around them, and IPL over a mole may irritate the area.

This may result in discomfort or irritation in the area.

 

To protect larger moles during treatment, you can cover them with a plaster. For smaller moles, use caution and avoid treating them directly.

Alternatively, you can apply a white kohl pencil to the mole to protect it during treatment.

Freckles, on the other hand, may be treated with IPL by some people, following the device manual. However, it's important to note that they may appear lighter in color after treatment.
