FAQ

• Is MimiSilk IPL Hair Removal Device safe?

  We're excited to share with you that MimiSilk IPL Hair Removal Devices are FDA cleared, ensuring a high standard of safety and efficacy. They are also CE, TGA, PSE, SFDA and CII certified.

• Does IPL hair removal hurt?

  Unlike laser hair removal, IPL or intense pulsed light hair removal is generally considered to be much safer and less painful. This is because IPL uses a multi-spectrum bulb vs a single-wavelength laser. You may feel a slight tingle in sensitive areas during treatment, but it should not be painful.

  On the basis of Fitzpatrick Photo typing Scale, the effect is different according to skin tone. It's best for skin tone: White, Ivory, Beige, Light Brown, Brown, except the Dark Brown. And it is not suitable for red, white, gray and light color hair.

• What areas does Label IPL Hair Removal Device treat?

  You can use your handset on most parts of your body where unwanted hair tends to occur, including your arms, underarms, hands, legs, chin, neck, back, and bikini line. But please do not use around the eyes, use only below cheekbones.
  

  To prevent discomfort, we advise treating the bikini area, inner thighs, and buttocks on the lowest intensity level, as the skin in these areas can be more sensitive.

• Can I use it on sensitive area?

  Yes. When using in sensitive areas, we advise taking particular care for your safety:
  1. Start with the lowest setting;
  2. Patch test before a full application;
  3. Avoid overlapping in one session;

  *If you experience any discomfort during use, please stop immediately and consult a professional.

• What should I do after the treatment?

  For 24 hours after IPL treatment, we recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources (tanning booth, solarium) and activities or skin products that may irritate your skin. Use sunscreen SPF15 when treated areas may be exposed to sun.

• Is IPL hair removal the permanent solution?

  You should see up to 80% hair removal following the scheduled treatment plan. When using your device, you are destroying hair follicles that are currently in the 'anagen' hair growth phase. It is possible that hairs that were not in the 'anagen' phase during treatment will still grow. This is why we recommend doing maintenance treatment once every 1-2 months as needed.

• Can MimiSilk IPL manage PCOS hair growth?

  Yes, IPL can help manage PCOS-related hair growth by targeting hair at the root and reducing regrowth. For women with PCOS who may experience increased hair growth, IPL operates just as effectively as it does for those without PCOS. Of course, individuals are unique and results may vary. However, consistent use following our recommended treatment schedule leads to noticeable results.
