So, you’ve got your hands on the Nava Ultra Pro — the ultimate at-home IPL device designed for faster, more effective hair removal. But how can you make sure you're getting the best possible results while keeping your skin safe and happy? Let’s break it down with these five tips for safe and effective hair removal using your Nava Ultra Pro.

1. Prep Your Skin the Right Way

Before you even turn on your Nava Ultra Pro, make sure your skin is properly prepped. This step is key to ensuring you get maximum results while keeping your skin safe.

Shave, Don’t Wax: IPL works by targeting the melanin in your hair, and it needs the hair root to be intact to do its job. That’s why you should always shave (not wax or pluck) before treatment. The razor provided in your Nava Ultra Pro kit is perfect for this.
Clean and Dry: Make sure your skin is free of lotions, oils, and any residue. A clean, dry surface helps the IPL light penetrate the hair follicle more effectively.
Pro Tip: Shave the night before to give your skin time to recover from any potential irritation. This ensures a smoother, more comfortable treatment the next day.

2. Choose the Right Intensity Level for Your Skin

The Nava Ultra Pro comes with 5 adjustable intensity levels, allowing you to tailor each session to your unique skin tone and hair type. Finding the right level for your skin is crucial for both safety and effectiveness.

Start Low and Work Your Way Up: If this is your first time using IPL or you have sensitive skin, it’s always a good idea to start at Level 1 and gradually increase the intensity as you become more comfortable.
Patch Test First: Not sure which intensity level is right for you? Do a quick patch test on a small area of skin before your full session. This way, you can see how your skin reacts and adjust the settings accordingly.
Pro Tip: Darker skin tones may need to stick to lower intensity levels to avoid irritation, while lighter skin tones with darker hair can usually handle higher intensity levels for quicker results.

3. Use Auto Mode for Larger Areas and Manual Mode for Precision

The Nava Ultra Pro is designed for maximum efficiency. With its wider light window and two modes (Manual and Auto), it allows you to quickly treat larger areas like your legs or arms, while still giving you precision control for more delicate areas like your bikini line or upper lip.

Auto Mode: For larger areas like your legs, chest, or back, switch to Auto Mode by pressing and holding the cooling button for 2-3 seconds. This mode will continuously fire the flash as long as the device is in contact with your skin, making full-body treatments super quick and easy.
Manual Mode: When working on smaller, curved areas like your armpits or face, switch back to Manual Mode for more precise control. Simply press the flash button when the light window is flat against your skin, and the device will fire one flash at a time.
Pro Tip: Glide the device slowly over the treatment area in Auto Mode for smooth, even coverage without missing any spots.

4. Take Advantage of Ice-Cooling Technology for Painless Treatments

One of the standout features of the Nava Ultra Pro is its ice-cooling technology, which helps keep your skin cool and comfortable during treatments. This feature is especially useful for sensitive areas like your face or bikini line.

Cooling On: The cooling function is activated by default when you turn on your Nava Ultra Pro, and it ensures your treatment is as painless as possible by reducing the skin temperature during each flash.
No More Irritation: Thanks to the Sapphire Glass Lamp, the heat is dissipated, preventing irritation, burns, or redness, leaving your skin smooth and irritation-free after every session.
Pro Tip: If you feel any discomfort during treatment, make sure the cooling function is active and consider lowering the intensity level for the next session.

5. Follow the Recommended Treatment Schedule

Consistency is key when it comes to IPL hair removal. While you might be tempted to go all in right away, sticking to the recommended schedule will give you the best long-term results.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the suggested treatment plan for the Nava Ultra Pro:

Weeks 1-4: Use the device 2-3 times per week. By the end of this phase, more than 75% of your hair will naturally begin to fall out.
Weeks 5-6: Continue using the device twice a week to target any remaining hair and slow regrowth.
Weeks 7-8: Switch to once a week as the hair becomes finer and thinner.
Beyond Week 8: Use once every 2 weeks or as needed, depending on hair regrowth.
Pro Tip: Be consistent with your treatments to achieve the best, long-lasting results. And remember, the Nava Ultra Pro is equipped with 999,999 flashes, meaning it’ll last you for a lifetime of hair removal without the need for replacements.
