Does IPL hurt?
IPL is generally comfortable when the correct settings are used. Most users describe a warm or tingling feeling rather than pain.
Details: Most people describe IPL as producing a warm sensation when a flash is applied to the skin. The sensation can vary depending on the treatment area, the selected light intensity, hair thickness and individual sensitivity, but it should remain comfortable.
Philips Lumea IPL includes features that help adjust treatment intensity and guide usage, making it easier to find a setting that feels right for your skin. Compared to methods like waxing, you may perceive IPL as a gentler and more comfortable hair removal experience.
