Question:
I have been having IPL treatment for my entire arms. I have been finding this treatment ineffective.
I am hoping to try Laser instead of the IPL. Is there any problems with switching from IPL to Laser immidiately?
Many thanks.
Answer:
Laser may be more specific in the treatment of hair than IPL. Furthermore, it is possible to choose a laser e.g Alexandrite laser, or Nd:YAG laser depending on your skin colour.
You can switch to laser immediately from IPL.
