6 energy levels + area guide

Six selectable energy levels on the MITHLUX IPL device work together with a simple area guide, helping you match comfort and effectiveness across different body zones.

Why adjustable energy levels matter

Every person’s skin and hair can respond differently to IPL. Adjustable energy levels allow you to start gently and then increase only when the sensation feels comfortable.

The area guide suggests a typical range of levels for different body zones. This helps you choose a starting point and then fine-tune the setting based on your own comfort.

How the 6 energy levels work with the area guide

Level 1–2 are suitable for first-time use or more sensitive areas within the suitable skin-type range.

Level 3–4 are common working levels for many body areas once you feel comfortable.

Level 5–6 are higher settings for experienced users on suitable skin types and denser hair.

The area guide shows typical ranges by body zone. Always stay within the suggested range and follow the user manual.

Start low, then step up

Begin on a lower level for each new area and only increase if the sensation feels comfortable and the skin looks normal.

Match the level to the area

Use the area guide as a reference to choose suitable levels for arms, legs, underarms and other recommended body zones.

Consistent routine over weeks

Using appropriate levels regularly over several weeks supports more even, predictable hair reduction results.

Questions about energy levels and the area guide

Q: Which energy level should I start with?

A: Start on a lower level for each new area, even if you have used IPL before. If the sensation feels comfortable and the skin looks normal after a few test flashes, you can gradually increase within the suggested range in the area guide.

Q: Will a higher level always give faster results?

A: Higher levels can feel more intense and are not always necessary. The best setting is one that feels tolerable on your skin and is within the suitable range for that body area and your skin type. Do not use a level that feels too hot or causes irritation.

Q: Why are some areas or skin types shown as not suitable?

A: The area guide and skin tone chart are designed to help you use the device safely. Certain areas or deeper skin tones may have a higher risk of discomfort or reactions, so they are marked as not suitable. Always follow the exclusions listed in the user manual.
