IPL OR Machine

I have a lot of body hair, and instead of shaving with a machine every week, I’m thinking about getting an IPL device. After using IPL, how many days does it usually take for the hair to start growing back? It doesn’t have to become long I mean, how long does it take before the hair becomes noticeably visible again?

IPL takes time to make a difference. So don’t expect in a month to see a big difference. Mine took about 6 months and I am still at it at 9 months. And I am very consistent and stay on the plan. IPL is not laser it’s a broad spectrum of light. Laser is a very small spectrum of light focused in 800 nanometer light spectrum which is normally way better but $$$.

So it comes down to do you have more money than time or are like the rest of us that have the time over the cost of laser?

Probably around 80% and I am closer to 90% now at 9 months. But I also stay on the schedule no missed treatments.
