LightVive's cutting-edge Ultra IPL technology operates by precisely pinpointing the melanin, the pigment present in your hair follicles, effectively disrupting the hair regrowth cycle. The emitted light inflicts damage to the hair root, gradually impeding further regrowth over multiple sessions. For optimal results, we advise undergoing 2 treatments per week over an 8-week period. Visible improvements typically manifest within the initial 3 weeks of treatment, with the potential for permanent hair removal achievable in as little as 8 weeks.

What is the difference between IPL and laser hair removal?
The primary contrast between IPL and laser lies in their light sources. IPL utilizes broadband pulsed light, whereas laser relies on a single monochromatic light beam. Despite this disparity, both methods effectively target hair follicle melanin, offering the potential for permanent results. Factors such as energy levels, treatment frequency, and hair color are pivotal in treatment efficacy, with the distinction between light sources playing a secondary role.
Is the treatment painful?
In contrast to laser hair removal, IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal is often perceived as safer and less discomforting. This is attributed to IPL's utilization of a multi-spectrum bulb as opposed to the single-wavelength laser used in laser treatments. While you may experience a slight tingling sensation in sensitive regions during IPL treatment, it typically does not induce pain.
Is the hair loss permanent?
Following the prescribed treatment plan, you can anticipate up to an 80% reduction in hair growth. The device targets hair follicles in the active "anagen" growth phase, which may not encompass all follicles during each session. Consequently, it's possible for untreated hairs to continue growing. To address this, we suggest periodic maintenance treatments every 1-2 months as required.
Is there a warranty on LightVive products?
LightVive provides a hassle-free, genuine two-year warranty on all its products. Our warranty policy sets the industry standard and safeguards against device defects, encompassing virtually all issues except for those resulting from physical damage.
Does the device work for men as well?
Certainly! The Lightvive handset is suitable for use by both men and women.
Is IPL Safe?
There have been numerous scientific studies on the effectiveness of IPL technology. See: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12561039/
How often can I use the LightVive IPL device?
We suggest utilizing your handset twice a week for the initial two months to achieve permanent results. Subsequently, maintenance sessions may be required every 3-6 months as necessary for touch-ups. Since IPL is most effective during the hair growth phase, there's no need to exceed this frequency.
Which areas of my body can I use the LightVive handset?
The LightVive handset is suitable for treating hair growth on various body areas, including the arms, underarms, hands, legs, chin, neck, back, and bikini line. However, caution should be exercised when using it around the eyes, and protective eyewear is advised.
Do I need to shave before each treatment?
Indeed, it's recommended to shave the entire treatment area before using your handset. Ensuring a clean-shaven surface facilitates optimal light penetration to the hair follicles, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment. To ensure IPL efficacy, refrain from waxing, plucking, threading, or epilating before treatment, as the hair follicle needs to be intact.
What hair removal can I use between treatments?
Only shaving is recommended before treatment. Waxing, plucking, threading, and epilation can diminish treatment effectiveness because IPL requires the hair follicle to be intact in order to work properly.
Is the LightVive IPL Device safe on sensitive skin?
Absolutely! Our handset is specifically crafted to be both effective and safe for individuals with sensitive skin.
What is the the difference between the different settings?
The device offers 5 intensity levels, each impacting the amount of light delivered in every pulse. Typically, higher intensity levels yield faster results. However, it's advisable to begin at level 3 and adjust based on your skin's sensitivity. Use the highest intensity tolerable for your skin. You can gauge your skin's sensitivity with 1-2 test flashes on the treatment area.
Can I share my LightVive IPL Device with someone else?
Absolutely! Feel free to share the love as much as you'd like. We highly encourage it!
