No, IPL is not suitable for everyone. It is most effective on light to medium skin tones with hair ranging from blonde to dark brown or black. IPL is not recommended for individuals with very light-colored hair such as blonde, red, grey, or white as the smaller amount of melanin in these hairs cannot absorb the light energy.

IPL is not recommended for those with dark skin tones as the higher melanin content in their skin could absorb more light energy than is safe, leading to discomfort.

It's best to avoid IPL treatment if your skin is darker due to tanning or if it's irritated. We recommend starting with the lowest strength level to check for skin irritation.

Men can use Silkify IPL for hair removal on the chest, back, arms, stomach, and legs, but not on the face, neck, or genital areas where hair is dense as this could cause discomfort and uneven results.

IPL is safe for use on the bikini line but not recommended for the genital area due to the higher density of hair and darker skin color, which could absorb more light energy and cause discomfort.

Results may take up to 18-24 months depending on the body area being treated. Only hairs in their growing phase can be treated with light, so multiple treatments are necessary for best results.
