Assess your suitability

Is your body hair to remove blond, red or grey?

IPL targets melanin of the hair root, so hair colors that contain very little melanin won’t absorb the energy of the light.

Yes

No

Assess your suitability

Is Brownish Black or darker your general skin tone?

As the energy will be absorbed by the melanin of the skin, darker skin tones are not suitable for IPL treatment.

Yes

No

Assess your suitability

Do you have any skin conditions, large moles or tattoos, or utilize artificial tanning?

The light will be absorbed by the pigment of your skin, so you can’t use it on top large moles, tattoos or areas with tanning agents.

Is Brownish Black or darker your general skin tone?

Unfortunately, IPL seems unsuitable for you.

For IPL to be effective, the energy of the light needs to be absorbed by the hair follicle. If your hair doesn't contain enough melanin or your skin tone is too dark, the energy will be absorbed by the skin instead.
Unfortunately, in your case, IPL won't work.
