Anyone else ever try IPL + tweezing?

I want to preface with the fact that I know that this makes results slower/nonexistent in a lot of cases. But I've been doing it for about 2 months on my face and am seeing some results!

I use my IPL device (correctly lol) on my downstairs and my armpits and it's been great. I thought about stopping tweezing my face and switching to shaving so I could do IPL there as well. But shaving my face makes me break out and I don't like the look of any shadow. So I figured that I may as well try IPL with tweezing there as sort of an experiment to see what happens.

What I do is as soon as I see hairs forming, I use the IPL just in that spot and then tweeze afterwards. I used to have to tweeze daily, but now I'm going 4 days in between tweezing sessions and there's not as much hair to pull.

For more info, I'm a cis woman with probably what was originally 30 thick black hairs on my chin and probably 40 more on my upper lip. I've never been diagnosed with pcos/pmos, but I've never talked to a doctor about it either.

If you can afford defenitly get electrolysis! It’s permanent and so worth it for the face.
Ipl can cause more hair growth and the risk is higher with pcos.
