We recommend completing a Skin Safety Test before starting treatment—detailed instructions are included with your device.

For hair removal, IPL and laser hair removal work by targeting hair follicles in the anagen (active growth) phase. Since not all hairs are in this phase at the same time, consistent treatments ensure that more follicles are treated during their active phase, leading to better results. For skin rejuvenation, consistency is important for IPL treatments because the effects build gradually over time. Regular use of the Flasher Pro helps to maintain an even skin tone and improve overall skin appearance. Since the skin naturally renews itself over several weeks, consistent treatments help users achieve and maintain visible improvements in texture and brightness. Sticking to a routine also ensures that treated areas receive the full benefits of IPL technology.

For hair removal, use the Flasher Pro with the hair removal lens every 3 days for up to 12 weeks and then every month. For skin rejuvenation, use the Flasher Pro with the ageless lens 2 to 3 times per week on an ongoing basis for optimal results.

For hair removal, shaving ensures that the light from the Flasher Pro directly targets the hair follicle, rather than being dispersed across the hair. This improves the effectiveness of the treatment and enhances long-term results. It’s important that the skin is clean, dry, and free from any lotions, creams, or self-tanners before use to ensure optimal light absorption and effectiveness.

The Flasher Pro can be used anywhere on your face or body, including the arms, underarms, hands, legs, chin, neck, back, and bikini line. However, it is not suitable to be used on areas immediately surrounding the eyes or on the eyebrows. Refer to the included instructional manual in your device for a full list of recommended treatment areas.

Yes, because the Flasher Pro uses IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, the skin rejuvenation lens may also reduce hair in treated areas over time. While the primary goal of skin rejuvenation treatments is to improve skin tone and texture, IPL energy is designed to target pigment, which includes hair follicles. If you wish to maintain hair in certain areas, consider this before using the device for skin rejuvenation.

Yes. IPL treatments permanently reduce hair regrowth. You can see up to a 95% reduction in hair regrowth after following the recommended treatment schedule. Since IPL targets hair in the anagen phase, some hairs that were in a different phase during treatment may still grow. This is why periodic maintenance treatments (once or twice a month) are recommended.

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.

For hair removal treatments, hair growth cycles vary depending on the body area. For example, hair on the legs and arms has a longer growth cycle than hair in the underarms or bikini line. As a result, some areas may show results faster than others. For skin rejuvenation, results from IPL skin rejuvenation treatments vary based on individual skin characteristics and concerns. Some users may notice subtle improvements in skin tone and texture after just a few sessions, while more visible changes—such as a reduction in pigmentation irregularities or redness—can take several weeks. Since IPL works with the skin’s natural renewal cycle, most users see the best results after consistent use for 8 to 12 weeks. Following the recommended treatment schedule and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure can help optimize results.

The key difference is the type of light used: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses a broad-spectrum pulsed light. Laser hair removal uses a single, concentrated wavelength of light. Both methods target melanin in the hair follicle for long-term hair reduction. Factors such as energy level, frequency, and hair color impact effectiveness more than the choice between IPL and laser.
