Is IPL Right For You?
IPL hair removal works by targeting the melanin in your hair. However, in some cases, the light can be absorbed more by skin pigment than the hair itself—making it important to understand your skin and hair type before starting treatment.Vellut platinum is designed to be effective across a range of skin tones and hair colors. To ensure the best and safest results, we recommend checking our Skin & Hair Compatibility Chart. It will help you determine if IPL is right for you.COMPATIBILITY CHART:
Why This Matters
IPL works best when there’s high contrast between the pigment in the hair and the pigment in the skin. That’s why darker hair and lighter skin respond most effectively. Lighter hair (like white, grey, and red) lacks enough melanin for IPL to target, and darker skin tones may absorb too much light, decreasing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Pro Tip:
Always do a patch test before your first treatment and start at the lowest power level.
