12 tips for laser hair removal & what not to do
Tips for Safe At-Home Laser Hair Removal with Lumos IPL
Laser hair removal at-home can be an efficient, cost-effective way to achieve permanently hair-free skin. You can experience professional-quality results from the comfort of your home with these 11 tips to ensure a safe and effective at-home laser hair removal experience

1. Choose a Quality Device
Invest in a high-quality at-home laser hair removal device that is FDA-cleared, like the Lumos IPL, to ensure safety and efficacy.

2. Perform a Patch Test
Before your first treatment on each new body area, we recommend testing your skin for potential reactions on a small area. Wait 24 hours following the test to ensure your skin is suitable for the IPL treatment.
3. Shave, Don't Wax
Shave the area you plan to treat 24 hours before using the laser. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these methods remove the hair follicle, which the laser targets.
Prior to laser IPL treatment on the face, we recommend dermaplaning with a sonic dermaplaning tool. Use a tool like the Sonicsmooth Pro+ to prevent any nicks and razor cuts that you may typically get from a plastic razor.
4. Cleanse Your Skin
Ensure your skin is clean and free from lotions, oils, and deodorants before treatment. Clean, dry skin allows the laser to work more effectively.
5. Avoid Sun Exposure
Avoid sun exposure and tanning (both natural and artificial) for at least two weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure increases the risk of burns and pigmentation changes.

6. Use the Correct Settings
Use the appropriate settings for your skin tone and skin color. Start with the lowest setting and gradually increase if necessary.

7. Wear Protective Eyewear
Lumos IPL comes with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. Never look directly into the laser beam.

8. Be Consistent
For optimal results, use the device three times a week during the first month. Afterward, switch to using it once every two weeks or monthly for maintenance touch-ups as needed.

9. Don't Over-Treat
Avoid going over the same area multiple times in one session. Over-treating can cause skin irritation and burns.

10. Soothe the Skin
After treating each area of the skin, you can utilize the CoolMax Technology on the Lumos IPL by pressing the ice cooling button to enter the ice cooling mode. Keep the device close to the skin and start to soothe the skin without pressing the flash button when using the ice cooling mode alone.

11. Moisturize After Treatment
After each session, apply a soothing moisturizer to the treated area such as the Knú Ageless Cream, which has aloe vera and oat beta-glucan to promote hydration in the skin. This helps to calm the skin and reduce redness and irritation.

12. Be Patient
Hair growth will gradually reduce with the Lumos IPL in as little as 2 weeks. Be patient and consistent and you will achieve permanent hair removal in just 4 weeks!

Is the Lumos IPL safe for all hair and skin types?
The Lumos IPL is suitable and effective for specific hair and skin types:

*IPL technology needs a contrast between the melanin in your hair and skin, so it's not universally safe for all hair and skin combinations. Completing a Skin Safety Test before starting treatment is essential, with instructions provided.
Is the treatment painful?
Unlike laser hair removal, IPL (intense pulsed light) is generally safer and less painful. This is because IPL uses a broad-spectrum light, unlike the single-wavelength laser. You might experience a mild tingle in sensitive areas, but it shouldn't be painful.
How often do I need to use my Lumos IPL?
For optimal results, use the device three times a week during the first month. Afterward, switch to using it once every two weeks or monthly for maintenance touch-ups as needed.
Where can I use the Lumos IPL?
The Lumos IPL can be used on various body parts, including arms, underarms, hands, legs, chin, neck, back, and bikini line. Avoid using it near your eyes unless you are wearing protective eyewear.

Great Present!!

I didn’t know what to buy my sister as a present and I wanted something unique that not everyone is used to having. She is OBSESSED with this and everytime she uses it she gets more excited and sends me pictures!🤣 It really is a great gift for someone that doesn’t usually buy nice things for themselves! I also reached out to customer service about a question and they answered IMMEDIATELY! Great experience.
Yes, I recommend this product.
