Sapphire IPL Ultra

IPL stands for intense pulsed light, and it is a form of light therapy, similar to laser, it is used for various dermatological procedures including permanent hair removal.

As with all light-based hair removal treatments, our IPL handset works by emitting a wavelength which targets pigment in the hair. As the light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair it turns to heat which then kills the hair growth cells. Hair will grow back more sparse and slower after each treatment, reducing hair growth permanently overtime.

IPL is a clinically-backed method for long-term hair removal. ThePlushCo Ice Cooling Dynamic Pro IPL is FDA cleared, expert backed, clinically tested and complys with international regulation standards. It’s safe, effective, and convenient.

IPL is successful removing body hair due to the pres­ence of a hair pig­ment known as melanin. This absorbs the light energy emit­ted by the device and directs it to the hair follicle, to remove hair and pre­vent future growth.

Nat­u­rally dark pig­mented skin how­ever will con­tain more melanin than lighter skin tones so more energy is absorbed. This means indi­vid­u­als with dark skin tones are more susceptible to burns fol­low­ing treatment. This does not exclude all darker skin tones. (Please refer to the skin tone chart below to see if IPL is suitable for you.)This means IPL may not be effective on very light blonde, red, or grey colored hair. If the root of your hair is brown or black it should work for you! For dark blonde roots the treatment may take longer to take effect but will work with time and consistency, any shade darker will work perfectly!

ThePlushCo Sapphire Ultra is specially designed for hair removal is designed to provide long-term hair reduction, even for those with persistent or abnormal hair growth. We recommend consulting with your healthcare professional for specific PCOS related questions before beginning IPL treatment.

Yes, we recommend that you shave the desired areas between treatments and before using your handset. Shaving takes the hair down to the appropriate length whereas not to cause any burns during treatment but also allowing the hair root to get targeted effectively. Other forms of hair removal including waxing and tweezing will remove the hair root entirely. Which won’t allow the IPL to target the root. That being said if you run your hand over the area and cannot feel any hair at all, then there is no need to shave. In regard to peach fuzz on the face, we recommend derma planning to remove those hairs prior to treatment.

Our IPL handset works by emitting a wavelength which targets pigment in the hair. As the light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair it turns to heat which then kills the hair growth cells. Hair will grow back more sparse and slower after each treatment, reducing hair growth permanently overtime.

Most customers begin to notice a noticeable reduction of hair growth after just 3-4 weeks, with treatments done once a week, and complete results after 8 – 12 weeks. The hair will grow back more sparse and slower after each treatment eventually turning into a permanent reduction in hair growth. To maintain hairless smooth skin after that, use the handset once every 2 to 3 months for a touch up or as needed. Results and treatment length needed may vary from person to person.

According to the FDA, permanent hair removal means the “long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing after a treatment regime.” Which is what our handset provides! But this may differ from the average interpretation of ‘permanent’. Remember even in-clinic laser is not fully permanent. In any case, if you don’t mind just one touch up every 3-4 months after the full treatment is complete, then I’d say it’s a pretty darn good deal!

Your handset is covered by a full 1-year warranty! If there’s any technical defect in the handset, within 1 year of use, we will replace it. Physical damages aren’t covered.
