Each treatment pulse should be applied on different skin
spot with no repetition or overlap. The entire treatment area
(underarms, bikini line, arms, back, shoulders, chest, legs
and allowed facial areas) will be determined by the user.
Notes:
• Response to IPL 8500 hair reduction differs between in-
dividuals, depending on their unique biological factors.
• It may take up to 3-4 weeks before results of the IPL
8500 treatment can be seen. The hair will continue to
grow up to two weeks after a hair reduction session.
However, thereafter as the hair grows in three different
stages the hairs will naturally and gradually fall out de-
pending on the hair growth stage in during which the
treatment was done (only hairs in the active growth
phase will be affected). Some hair may not be affect-
ed by the IPL 8500 because of the different hair growth
phases. To remove this hair multiple treatment sessions
are required to reach the desired result.
• The number of sessions required for achieving long term
results is different for every treatment area and changing
for every user, as it is affected by type of skin, hair and
hormonal changes.
• Red hair may show some response. White, grey or blond
hair shows a more limited response. Nevertheless, some
users have noted hair reduction after multiple treatment
sessions.
• IPL 8500 is suitable for men. However male body hair,
especially those on the chest will require more hair re-
duction sessions.
• Maintenance will be needed from time to time if growth
is still visible.
• You may use the treatment log at the end of this manual,
in order to assist you with recording your specific treat-
ments areas, dates and duration.
What to expect when using IPL 8500
During your hair removal treatment it is normal to experi-
ence:
• A flash of light on each press of the trigger button. The
light will not harm the eyes.
• A pop noise with each pulse – occurs whenever a pulse
is activated.
• A sensation of warmth – radiates from the light energy
after each pulse.
• A mild stinging sensation – can be felt, similar to being
snapped with a rubber band.
Some mild red or pink color may appear during or just
after using the IPL 8500.
