Side effects of intense pulse light


How long does intense pulse light for hair removal take?

Generally, not long. The five hairs on the upper lip may only take 2-3 minutes but the groin or the leg can take an hour. If you are sensitive to pain, it can take more than a few hours.

Does intense pulse light therapy for hair removal have any side effects?

Yes, definitely. Most individuals do develop redness and swelling from where the hair was treated. These side effects are transient and disappear in a few hours. When the area treated is small, the individual can return back to work or their life style on the same day.

However, when large areas of body area are treated, one may develop a fair degree of discomfort and blistering. This may take a few days to resolve. So you stay at home for a 2-5 days.
