Our IPL device is safe for use on the face below the cheekbones. It shouldn’t be used near the eyes and along the forehead. It works effectively on the upper lip, chin and jawline. We recommend doing a patch test before use.

Currently, it is not recommended to use IPL technology on Tattooed skin. Some people have used them on areas of their skin which were tattooed without issues, however it is not recommended practice.

There may be a chance of the Tattoo fading and in a worse case scenario it may be that there is some scaring.

IPL is not suitable for everyone. It is most effective on light to medium skin tones with hair ranging from natural blonde to dark brown or black. The device is not effective on very blonde, red, grey or white hair where the smaller amount of melanin would not absorb the light energy to make it effective in hair removal.

Since dark skin contains more melanin, it could absorb more than the safe, recommended amount of light energy which may cause discomfort.

If your skin tone has gotten darker due to artificial or natural tanning and your skin does not suffer from any irritation the Brady™ Pro device can be used at a lower setting. Turn down the intensity level to lowest to confirm there is no irritation and do a patch test.

The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 18-24 months, depending on body area (underarm, lower leg and pubic area can take the most time). Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. For this reason, we recommend a start-up phase of 4-12 weekly treatments to achieve optimum results. If you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. You can switch to maintenance treatments.

After completing your start-up phase, you can continue to treat according to your needs. Re-treat on a per need basis.

We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums. Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight- fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or peeling products. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas.

After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF 15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the sun.

The Brady™ Pro device works without the need of additional lotions or gels and there is no need to purchase replacement lamps like with other devices.

The skin contact sensors ensure that the device can only be triggered when in contact with the skin and the light visible during treatment is perfectly safe.

We do however recommend using glasses or goggles when doing the facial area to prevent any chance of flashes to the eyes.
