Getting Started & Basic Use

A: Before use, ensure the treatment area is clean, dry, and freshly shaved. Do not apply lotions, oils, or deodorants before treatment, as they may interfere with light contact and performance.

A: Yes. Shaving helps ensure the IPL energy is directed below the skin surface rather than absorbed by hair above the skin. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these remove the hair root that IPL targets.

A: Session time depends on the area treated. Smaller areas such as underarms may take a few minutes, while larger areas like legs may take 15–20 minutes. Move at a steady pace without overlapping flashes excessively.

A: During the initial phase, most users start with sessions spaced about once per week. This allows the device to target hairs at different growth stages over time.

A: Individual results vary. Many users begin to notice slower regrowth or finer hair after several consistent sessions. Continued use supports more gradual and noticeable changes.

Safety & Aftercare

A: MITHLUX IPL devices are designed for at-home use when operated according to the instructions. Always follow the recommended guidelines and start from a lower energy level.

A: Yes. A patch test on a small area helps you understand how your skin responds and determine a comfortable starting energy level.

A: Mild warmth or sensitivity can occur. Allow the skin to cool naturally and avoid heat sources such as hot showers or direct sun exposure immediately after treatment.

A: Some areas may feel more sensitive than others. Always begin at a lower energy level and adjust gradually based on comfort.

A: Keep the skin moisturized, avoid sun exposure, and use sunscreen if the treated area may be exposed. Do not exfoliate or use active skincare products immediately after treatment.

Device & Energy Settings

A: Yes. Starting from a lower level allows your skin to adapt gradually. You can increase the level over time as you become more familiar with the sensation.

A: Yes. Energy levels can be adjusted manually during a session to suit different areas or comfort preferences.

A: No. The device gives users direct control. Energy levels are selected manually to allow deliberate and flexible adjustment.

A: The area guide does not automatically change energy output. It provides reference suggestions to help users choose appropriate starting levels based on comfort and sensitivity.

A: Once an energy level is selected, the system helps maintain steady output behavior between flashes, supporting a more predictable and controlled experience.

A: Yes. Users can adjust energy levels between areas to better match comfort and familiarity with each treatment zone.

Results, Frequency & Maintenance

A: Consistent use over multiple sessions supports gradual results. Many users continue periodic maintenance sessions after the initial phase.

A: Hair growth is influenced by natural cycles. Maintenance sessions may help manage regrowth over time.

A: Turn off and unplug the device. Gently wipe the contact window with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or harsh cleaners.

A: The device is designed for long-term use. Refer to the user manual for guidance on lifespan and care.

General & Support
