IPL Hair Removal Device for Home Use, Ice-Cooling Head and Adjustable Intensity for Legs, Arms, Underarms and Face

IPL works by pigment. The device sends a broad spectrum flash of light through the skin surface, the melanin in the hair absorbs it and converts it to heat, and that heat reaches the follicle. Because the process depends on there being more pigment in the hair than in the surrounding skin, it works best on dark hair against light to medium skin, and it does not work on white, grey, red or very fair blonde hair at all. That is physics, not a limitation of this particular device, and it is worth knowing before you buy anything in this category.

Lune adds a chilled contact plate to the flash window. Each pulse is a burst of energy against the skin, and cooling the plate makes that far more comfortable, which in practice is what determines whether people finish a full session or stop partway through the second leg. A skin tone sensor reads the contact area before firing and will not flash on a tone outside the safe range.

Intensity is adjustable across several levels so you can start low on sensitive areas and work up as you learn what your skin tolerates. Two modes cover different jobs: glide mode fires continuously as you move across a large area like a leg, and single flash mode targets small precise areas like the upper lip or the line of an eyebrow. Protective goggles are included and should be worn every session.

This is a cosmetic device for at home use. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Always wear the supplied goggles and never flash near the eyes or above the cheekbones. Do not use it on tattoos, moles, dark freckles, broken or sunburned skin, or over recently tanned skin. Do not use it if you are pregnant, take photosensitising medication, or have a skin condition affecting pigment, without checking with your doctor first. Patch test a small area and wait 24 hours before a full session.
