4 reasons why you should try IPL at home

As most women know, hair removal can be a seriously time-consuming beauty chore. Whether you choose to shave, wax, epilate or use depilatory creams, it takes a significant amount of time and effort to get hair-free – that’s why we’ve fallen in love with IPL devices like the Remington i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body.
IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light and offers permanent hair reduction from the comfort of your own home. That’s right, you can get fuzz-free for the party season and beyond without getting off the couch! For those who are time-poor or sick of the constant upkeep of traditional hair removal methods, IPL hair removal is an ideal choice.
So if you’re considering making the switch to IPL, we’re here to shed some light on the IPL process and share the top 4 reasons why it might just change your life.
1. It’s cost-effective
When you think about all the costs associated with your hair removal method of choice, they start to add up. Whether it’s a monthly wax appointment at your local beauty salon or regular re-stocks of your favourite depilatory creams, hair removal can take a serious toll on your wallet over the years.
Thankfully, the Remington i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body will put an end to all those wallet-draining products and appointments. While one full IPL salon treatment can cost as much as $1200, you can pick up the i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body device for less than half the price at just $488 from Harvey Norman. It also comes with an Infinity Bulb, which means that you’ll never need to replace it. And thanks to the interchangeable attachment caps, you can treat multiple areas of the body with one device, rather than shelling out for each area at the salon.
Plus, if you’ve still got reservations about buying an IPL hair removal device, Remington have got your back. Purchase the Remington i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body by the 31st December 2017 and you will receive $100 cash back*! And with a two year warranty and a 90 Day Money Back Guarantee, it’s a risk-free, long-term hair removal solution that will last for years to come.
2. It’s convenient
Making the regular trek to the beauty salon for your waxing or laser hair removal appointment is rarely without hassle. After all, you’ve got to find an appointment time that works around the salon opening hours and when you do, you’ve got to check that the time slot fits into your busy schedule. Not to mention the nerve-wracking experience of de-robing in front of a total stranger for the treatment!
The Remington i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body gently removes unwanted hair in the comfort and privacy of your own home, so you can do it at a time that suits you. It’s simple and easy to use while still maintaining its effectiveness at removing any unwanted hair^, so you can even do it while you’re binge-watching TV on your couch. WIN!
3. It works for your body and your face
While you might be using standard razors or depilatory creams on your legs, it’s a safe bet that you’re not using the same products on more sensitive areas like the face.
Far from just being useful on large areas of the body, IPL is great for reducing hair growth in more delicate areas. With the right IPL hair removal device, you can easily treat the hair on your upper lip, chin and cheeks.
The Remington i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body has two interchangeable attachment caps that ensure the best treatment for each section of your body. The 3cm body cap is best for targeting large areas like the legs, underarms, bikini line, chest, back and arms, while the specially-designed 2cm facial cap allows for a gentle, more precise treatment of delicate female facial areas below the cheekbone. Sayonara, peach fuzz!
4. Results are safe, permanent and seen quickly
At-home IPL might sound intimidating, but rest assured that it’s completely safe and relatively painless with a high-quality IPL hair removal device. The Remington i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body has been clinically proven to be safe, effective and is recommended by dermatologists** for gentle hair removal.
IPL also offers the benefit of permanent, long-lasting hair removal. The more you treat the area, the less you will need to use the IPL device. The intense pulses of light from the device gently disable the hair follicle and prevent hair regrowth, which means you can skip the salon and easily maintain your hair removal at home.
And don’t think that forgoing that salon laser hair removal appointment will mean seeing less results. Using an IPL hair removal device at home is not only easier on your wallet and your schedule, you could also notice a reduction in your hair growth in as little as four weeks. In fact, users of the Remington i-LIGHT® Pro+ Face & Body saw up to 94% fewer hairs after just three treatments⁺. It’s also recommended by CHOICE users as of March 2017.

Laser hair removal treatment can help you remove unwanted hair, obviously, different hair color, and skin type may affect the effect of hair removal. Besides, it also helps rejuvenate and tighten skin, especially for E-light IPL laser hair removal treatment.

Like the foot note says - IPL is not suitable for blonde, grey or red hair or if you have dark / black skin. It simply does not work.
Best candidates are fair skinned individuals with very dark hair - otherwise you are just wasting your money and time.....

IPL really does work but for some reason I end up with itchy lumps ( like hives I guess). It is only on my legs for some reason and I don't have a Remington so I may not react to this brand. :)

Sparkle-Tuss, I can get that from shaving, being in dry areas, being a dry area, being around a-holes...

I tried the Philips Lumea but you really have to keep up with the treatments to keep the hair at bay and I really can't manage that right now

I bought an at home IPL once. Only tried 2 applications and couldn't tolerate the pain. I returned it back to the shop who gave me back a refund very graciously.

I have mine lasered 8 years ago. Best investment ever. Nowadays I don't even need to shave anything when I go out. So far I only needed 1-2 touch up sessions.
