Many people are hesitant to shave before using IPL Hair Removal, fearing it may cause irritation, bad odor, or discomfort. Some worry about the pain or the smell that might occur after shaving. However, shaving before IPL treatment can actually lead to better results.

The idea that shaving causes a bad odor is not true. When you shave, you cut the hair cleanly at the surface, which can make any smell less natural, but it is not caused by the razor itself. The reason bad odor may occur is that hair follicles can emit a stronger odor if not shaved properly.

That’s why we recommend using a good razor for better results. Shaving before using IPL Hair Removal leads to better results because IPL works by gradually heating the hair follicles, which prevents regrowth. It helps to ensure that hair won’t grow back after treatment.

Shaving before IPL will also improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but it may take longer for the results to show. The area where the hair was removed will start to clear up, and you’ll notice that hair growth slows down significantly. The fragrance of the hair follicles will become weaker, and the results will be visible.

For those who are uncomfortable with shaving or prefer not to do it, you can wax and wait about two days before using IPL for the best results. Normally, using the IPL device once every five days will give you lasting results.

Since everyone’s hair growth and response to treatments vary, results may differ from person to person. The R&P IPL device, recommended by beauty professionals, ensures no side effects as long as it’s used according to the instructions provided.
