FAQs
WHAT IS IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a cutting-edge technology specifically designed for effective hair removal. Our IPL handset emits broad-spectrum light that targets melanin in the hair follicles. This process disrupts hair growth at the root, resulting in smoother, hair-free skin.
HOW DOES IPL WORK?
IPL technology harnesses the power of light to remove hair effectively. When our IPL handset is used, it emits a gentle pulse of broad-spectrum light that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair. This absorption transforms the light energy into heat, which then targets and safely destroys the hair cells responsible for hair growth. This process not only removes existing hair but also significantly impedes future hair growth, ensuring smoother skin for a longer period.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE I START TO SEE RESULTS?
Most customers begin to notice a reduction of hair after just 3-4 treatments, with complete results after 12 treatments. However, results vary from person to person.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO USE IT?
We recommend using your handset once a week for the first 12 weeks. After this period use your handset once a month, for 3 months or until satisfied. To maintain hairless smooth skin, use your handset once every 2 to 3 months, or as needed. There is no need to use it more than once a week, as IPL is only effective in the growing phase of your hair cycle.
WHICH AREAS OF THE BODY CAN I USE IT ON?
You can use your handset on your entire body, including your Brazilian and face (just be sure to not get too close to your eyes).
IS IPL SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TONES?
IPL is suitable for all but the darkest skin tones. This is because the light energy may be more attracted to the pigments in the skin rather than the melanin in the hair. Refer to the skin tone chart here to see whether or not IPL is suitable for you.
ARE RESULTS GUARANTEED?
We have absolute confidence in providing you with superior effectivness and quality. And we know you’re going to love it! but if you’re still unsure, just know that it’s backed by our 90-day 100% Money-Back Guarantee.
DOES IPL REMOVE HAIR PERMANENTLY?
You actually have to be careful when anyone claims ‘permanent’ hair removal as all forms of hair removal require some maintenance. After completing your initial sessions with our handsets you will only have to use your handset once every 3 months to maintain smooth, hairless skin. Furthermore, with time, you will need fewer maintenance sessions.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OROSKIN PREMIUM ICE AND THE OROSKIN CLASSIC IPL HANDSET?
CAN I EXPECT SIMILAR RESULTS WITH THE OROSKIN IPLS AS I WOULD GET IN A CLINIC?
Absolutely! Our handsets use clinical-grade technology that's adapted for safe and effective at-home use. The results are comparable to those of clinical laser treatments and sometimes even better. The main difference lies in a higher initial frequency of use.
WHAT CAN I DO IF I RUN OUT OF FLASHES?
WILL I GET GOOD RESULTS EVEN IF I HAVE NEVER DONE CLINICAL LASER?
This is the most frequently asked myth. No, you don't have to have a clinical laser background.

HOW ARE THE IPLS POWERED?
Our handsets are not cordless, and will need to be plugged into the power supply at all times of use. Our handsets come with a 3 metre, 12v power supply.
DOES IPL HURT?
One of the biggest advantages of IPL is that it is far less painful than alternative methods of hair removal. Most customers explain the feeling as a warm sensation on the skin.
IS IPL SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
Our handsets have been designed to be suitable for at home use, so they are gentle on skin. This means that it is suitable for sensitive skin types!
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM IPL?
When using the handset as recommended, side effects are rare. Redness and swelling is the most common side effect from IPL, which will quickly subside after treatment.
I HAVE PCOS. WILL IPL BE SUITABLE FOR ME?
IPL can definitely be used on hormonal hair growth and has proven to be quite effective. From just a few sessions, it makes hormonal hair regrowth more manageable as it doesn’t regrow as quickly, and assists with minimizing the appearance of shaver rash as you will not need to shave it as often. Then, you'll get hair-free, and you will only have to use your handset once every 3 months to maintain smooth, hairless skin. Additionally, with time, you won't need as much maintenance.
I HAVE EPILEPSY. IS IPL SAFE FOR ME TO USE?
IPL will not be suitable for you if you have severe epilepsy.
CAN I USE MY IPL HANDSET OVER FRECKLES OR MOLES?
You should not IPL over very dark freckles or moles, however light freckles are fine.
CAN I USE MY IPL HANDSET OVER TATTOOS?
You should not IPL over tattoos. The light energy will be more attracted to the pigments in the skin, rather than the melanin in the hair which can cause a reaction in the skin and blister. You should always go around your tattoos.
DO I NEED TO SHAVE BEFORE USING MY IPL HANDSET?
Yes, you should shave the desired areas before using your handset. A close to skin shave is best recommended. The goal is for the light energy to reach the hair follicle as quickly as possible, so shaving beforehand is essential to achieve the best results. The hair follicle does need to be intact for IPL to be effective. This means no waxing, plucking, threading, epilating etc.
WHAT HAIR REMOVAL METHODS CAN I USE BETWEEN TREATMENTS?
Between treatments you should only shave when required. You should never wax, pluck, or epilate as these hair removal methods remove the entire root, which is what absorbs the light during the treatment.
CAN I USE MY IPL BEFORE OR AFTER SUN TANNING?
You should wait 24-48 hours before and after extreme sun exposure. However, normal sun exposure is completely fine.
CAN I USE MY IPL AFTER FAKE TANNING?
No. You will need to remove and exfoliate all fake tan before using your IPL handset.
CAN I SHARE MY HANDSET WITH ANOTHER PERSON?
Yes, you can. This may decrease the lifetime of the handset per user. You should also always thoroughly clean the handset after each use.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY HANDSET?
THERE IS A SLIGHT BLACKENING ON MY LIGHT WINDOW. IS THIS NORMAL?
As there is heat involved, slight blackening on/around the light window is normal and will not affect your handset, how it works or the results at all.
IS IT NORMAL FOR THERE TO BE A FAINT BURNING SMELL WHEN USING MY HANDSET?
Yes, this is completely normal. As the light energy is heating the hair, you may smell a slight burning but this just means there may be some hairs that have not been shaved. Please ensure that you have prepped the skin correctly, and that the skin is completely shaved before starting your session.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED AGE FOR USING IPL?
We advise that users of our handsets are 15 and older.
I WANT TO USE IT ON MY FACE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SHAVE MY FACE.
For the face, you can use a Dermablade which is a very cheap tool available at most supermarkets.
