FAQ

 

Is the Velora IPL device suitable and safe for all hair and skin types?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment works by targeting the melanin in the hair, which makes it more effective for individuals with darker hair. Very light blonde, red, or grey hair may not see the same results. Additionally, IPL’s effectiveness depends on skin tones, with the Velora IPLs being most effective for individuals with fair to warm tan skin.

If you have a warm tan skin tone, we recommend starting with Intensity Level 1 and performing a patch test before starting your full treatment.

Regardless of your skin type, always begin with Intensity Level 1 and conduct a patch test before adjusting the intensity. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we want to ensure you achieve the best possible results.

 

What is the difference between IPL  and laser hair removal?

The primary difference between IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser hair removal lies in the type of light used. IPL utilizes broadband pulsed light, while laser hair removal uses a single monochromatic light source. Both IPL and laser technologies work by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, offering the potential for permanent results. Factors such as energy, frequency, and hair color are crucial in determining the effectiveness of the treatment, whereas the light source—whether IPL or laser—has a lesser impact on the outcome.

 

How often do I need to use my VELLORA?

We suggest using your device once a week for a duration of 12 weeks. Many users begin to notice a decrease in hair growth after 3-4 treatments, with full results typically achieved after 12 sessions

 

Is the treatment painful?

Compared to laser hair removal, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is typically regarded as safer and less painful. This is because IPL utilizes a multi-spectrum bulb, while laser hair removal uses a single-wavelength laser. You may experience a mild tingling sensation in more sensitive areas during the treatment, but it should not be painful.
