Hey all, I currently can't get laser for a variety of reasons, and was wondering if anyone knows if using IPL now effects my potential of getting laser in the future?

I know certain things can make laser less effective, but I couldn't find any info about this. Thanks

I use it from the chest down. White skin, pretty black thick hair.

It is definitely time consuming, especially in the beginning.

My legs and arms are heavily reduced, the hair grows in much more sporadically, thinner, and there are patches where nothing is.

My chest is coming along as well, but taking longer but that hair was thicker… like 2 hairs per pore 😒

Armpits are also coming along well. Grows much slower and sparser.

I did 2-3 sessions a week for 2 months. So time consuming.

Haven’t tried my face yet.

I have the ulike with cooling tech. It makes it pretty painless. Don’t get one without skin cooling.
