WHAT IS IPL

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and has gained widespread popularity for the many benefits it affords the user. This modern technology aims to remove unwanted hair, slow the aging process by reducing wrinkles and perfect the skin tone by treating blemishes.

Multiple uses of IPL also increase collagen production in the skin, leaving you glowing from the inside out! Due to IPL’s diverse range of uses and proven results, IPL is a must have device for anyone wanting to look and feel their best.

HOW DOES IPL WORK?

Just like all light based treatments, C-IPL works by emitting a multi spectrum light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigments in the hair and quickly turns to heat. The heat then travels down along the hair and targets the hair follicles responsible for hair growth, putting these follicles to sleep! With enough treatment, sticking to the recommended treatment plan and settings, visible results can be achieved as fast as in 3 weeks of use. After 12 weeks you will see complete results.

HOW TO USE?

Step 1: Shave the area that you plan to treat. The goal is to target the melanin within the hair follicles and put it into a resting phase. Keep hair length below 3mm for a more effective hair removal treatment.

Step 2: Turn on your REACIM ICE IPL hair removal handset and adjust the intensity. We recommend always start from level 1 and work your way up.

Step 3: Wear your REACIM glasses.

Step 4: Treat the area by pressing the flash button, or use the automated mode for larger surface areas. Tip: Flash each area once, then turn on the ICE mode and flash another round on the treatment area. It is recommended to flash up to 3 times per treatment area.

Step 5: Turn off the hair removal device when not in use.

Step 6: Apply a gentle lotion without harsh chemicals or whitening essence. Apply sunscreen before being exposed to sunlight. We recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen that is SPF50 and below.

WHAT IS THE ADVANCED COOLING FEATURE?

We discovered that some people could not take higher settings on sensitive body parts, such as the underarm and bikini area as it feels hot on their skin due to darker pigmentation. Those areas tend to have thicker hair that require higher output to be effective. Hence, the installation of cooling plate acts as an ice compression after each flash. This makes it possible to use higher settings to target the most stubborn hair follicles and ensuring you make the most out of each flashes.

IS IPL SAFE?

There have been numerous worldwide studies that demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of IPL for hair removal. Due to this fact, it has become an extremely popular safe at home treatment. We always advise that you exercise caution when treating yourself as not everyone is suitable for IPL treatments.

Due to the level of melanin in the skin, some darker skin types will not be able to use IPL. The same applies if you have a recent tan. Additionally, we advise to check with your doctor first if you are taking medication that may make your skin sensitive to light. People with Epilepsy should not use this product as the IPL has a bright flash,

DOES IPL HURT?

There is no pain in using the handset. Some normal sensations described by our users are ” rubber band snapping sensation” which only happens to some people (depending on the skin’s sensitivity and pain tolerance) when they use a high setting like level 4 or 5. 

Now with the REACIM ICE, the cooling plate acts as an ice compression after every flash. This cancels out the warm lingering sensation that the conventional IPL gives. There are 5 levels of power intensity to choose from. New users can start by using level 1 and gradually increase up to level 5 according to their own comfort.

WHICH AREA CAN I USE THIS ON?

You can use it on any parts of the body including the arms, legs, underarm, facial/upperlips, and the bikini area. However, please avoid using it too close to your eyes and on body parts with pigments such as the nipple, lips, tattoos, and the labia minora.
