Depending on your hair skin characteristics and a number of other conditions, we can tell you whether IPL is the right option for you.
IPL targets melanin of the hair root, so hair colors that contain very little melanin won’t absorb the energy of the light.
As the energy will be absorbed by the melanin of the skin, darker skin tones are not suitable for IPL treatment.
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.
As Lumea wasn't tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women, we advice you not to use it during this time.
Never use the device if you take any of the below medications or have one of the conditions below. If any concern consult a medical professional before use.
