How Often Should You Use IPL for Optimal Results?

You’ve got your Nava Mini Pro or Nava Ultra Pro in hand, and you’re ready to start your hair-free journey. But the big question is: how often should you use your IPL device to get the best results? Well, you’re in luck! We’ve got the answers you need to create the perfect IPL routine, so you can enjoy smooth, hair-free skin as quickly and effectively as possible.

Here’s the scoop on how often you should use IPL for optimal results and what you can expect from your treatments.

 

1. The Initial Phase: 2-3 Times Per Week for the First 4 Weeks

The first step to achieving your dream of hair-free skin is the initial treatment phase, where you’ll be using your IPL device more frequently. During this phase, you’ll want to use your Nava Mini Pro or Nava Ultra Pro 2-3 times per week for the first 4 weeks.

This might sound like a lot, but remember, IPL targets hair in its active growth phase (called the anagen phase). Since not all of your hair follicles are in this phase at the same time, you need multiple treatments to catch all the follicles at the right time.

  • What to Expect: After the first couple of sessions, you’ll start to notice that your hair is growing back slower and thinner. By the end of the first 4 weeks, more than 75% of the treated hair will begin to fall out naturally.
  • Pro Tip: Stay consistent! The more regular your treatments, the faster you’ll see results. Set reminders or schedule your IPL sessions to stay on track.

 

2. Week 5-6: Twice a Week for Continued Results

Once you’ve completed the first 4 weeks, you’ll likely start seeing noticeable changes in your hair growth pattern. But you’re not quite done yet! For weeks 5 and 6, you’ll want to reduce your treatments to twice a week. This phase helps further reduce the regrowth of new hair and ensures that any stubborn hair follicles are targeted.

  • What to Expect: During this phase, you’ll notice that any remaining hair grows back finer and thinner. You might even start seeing areas with little to no regrowth at all.
  • Pro Tip: Don’t be discouraged if some hair is still growing back. IPL works progressively, and with each treatment, you’re getting closer to permanent hair reduction.

 

3. Week 7-8: Once a Week for Maintenance

By now, you’re probably loving how smooth your skin feels, but it’s important to stick to your routine. For weeks 7 and 8, you’ll reduce your treatments to just once a week. At this point, your IPL device is working its magic on any remaining hair that hasn’t yet been treated.

  • What to Expect: The hair you do see will be much thinner and more sparse, and your skin will feel smoother for longer periods between treatments.
  • Pro Tip: Focus on areas where hair growth is still more noticeable, but make sure you’re not over-treating. One session per week is all you need at this stage.

 

4. Beyond Week 8: Once Every 2 Weeks for Touch-Ups

After 8 weeks of consistent treatments, you’re officially in the maintenance phase! At this point, you’ll likely notice very little hair regrowth, and any hair that does grow back will be significantly finer and lighter. For optimal results, you can switch to doing touch-up sessions once every 2 weeks.

  • What to Expect: You’ll be almost hair-free, and the touch-up sessions will help maintain your results for the long term.
  • Pro Tip: Some areas may need touch-ups more frequently than others, especially if the hair is coarser or thicker. Customize your routine based on your hair’s regrowth pattern.

 

5. The Long-Term Maintenance: Once a Month or as Needed

Once you’ve completed the initial and maintenance phases, you’ll be enjoying smooth, hair-free skin — but the journey doesn’t stop there. Long-term IPL success requires occasional touch-ups to maintain those results. At this stage, you’ll only need to use your IPL device once a month or whenever you notice regrowth.

  • What to Expect: With regular maintenance sessions, you’ll experience permanent hair reduction over time. Any hair that does grow back will be much finer, making your skin smoother and hair-free for longer periods.
  • Pro Tip: Pay attention to areas where hair regrows more quickly, such as underarms or the bikini line, and schedule your maintenance sessions accordingly.

 

Why Consistency is Key for Optimal Results

Using your IPL device consistently is the secret to achieving the best results. Hair grows in cycles, and IPL works by targeting the follicles during their growth phase. Sticking to your treatment schedule ensures that you’re catching each follicle at the right time, giving you long-term hair reduction.

Whether you’re using the Nava Mini Pro or Nava Ultra Pro, following the recommended treatment schedule will help you achieve permanent results, so you can say goodbye to shaving, waxing, and endless upkeep!
