PEACH

devices are designed to help break the cycle of hair growth. Light energy is transferred
through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light
energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle.
Treated hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks. Hair growth is cyclical and
follows 3 distinct and consecutive phases. IPL treatment is only effective when hairs are in a particular
phase (the Anagen – growth phase). Not all hairs are in the same phase at any one time. This is why
you should follow the recommended treatment regimen of 1 treatment every week, for 12 weeks.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Immediately post treatment, you should not see any significant side effects from treatment (Refer to
section titled ‘Side Effects’ for more information on side effects).
In the first few weeks following the initial treatments, you will still see some hairs growing. These
are likely to be hairs that were missed during treatment i.e. they were lying dormant and not in their
growth phase (Anagen) during treatment; when IPL is most effective.
Around 6 weeks into the 12 week treatment program you should see a reduction in hair growth.
However, many hairs may still not have been treated in their growth phase. It is important to continue
the treatments every week. After the 12 week program, you should see a significant reduction in
hairs within the treated area. Any remaining hairs should be finer and / or lighter in color. Continued
monthly treatments, or treatments as required, should maintain the reduction in unwanted hair.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do NOT use the devices:
• if your skin is darker than skin tone 5 shown on the skin tone chart above. Since dark skin absorbs
more light energy, treating very dark skin may cause discomfort/pain and adverse effects (e.g.,
burns, blisters, discoloration or scarring) and injure your skin.
