IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is a technology used for various dermatological procedures, primarily in the field of cosmetic and aesthetic medicine. IPL devices emit broad-spectrum light, which is different from lasers that emit a single, specific wavelength of light.
Our RIVIVE Hair Removal Device works by emitting wavelengths that target pigment in the hair. As the light is absorbed, it turns to heat, which then kills hair growth cells. Hair grows back slower and sparser, reducing hair growth permanently overtime.
Unlike other types/form of hair removal methods, IPL is supposed to be relatively painless.
RIVIVE Hair Removal Device have multiple settings for intensity and in some of our product additional cooling technology, so you can adjust the treatment to your level of comfort. In higher settings, individuals with sensitive skin may experience discomfort, but sticking with a lower intensity level makes treatment very gentle.
However do note that effects and suitability may vary on each individual. If in doubt, you should always check with your own medical professional prior to the use of RIVIVE Hair Removal Device.

We recommend using RIVIVE Hair Removal Device two-three times a week for the first month to achieve the best results. After that, you can use it once every two weeks or once a month for touch-ups as needed. Additionally, we suggest making adjustments based on your hair growth. If you notice thicker hair or stubborn areas, you can increase the gear level and frequency of usage. However, it's important to monitor your skin's reaction and adjust accordingly to avoid any discomfort or adverse effects.
