Do not use beurer IPL devices on naturally dark skin!
Treating dark skin with a light-based hair removal procedure can have adverse consequences, such as burns, blisters or discolouration of the skin (hyper- or hypopigmentation). beurer IPL devices feature an integrated skin colour sensor, which measures the colour of the treated skin at the beginning of every treatment session and occasionally during the session itself. The skin colour sensor prevents the device from issuing further pulses if it detects that the device is being used on skin that is too dark.
When will I see results after using a beurer IPL device?

The results of light-based hair removal are not immediately visible. Hair grows in three different stages and IPL devices only have an effect on the hairs in the active growth phase. Therefore, several sessions are required to achieve the desired result.
