IPL stands for Intense Pulsing Light. It is a home treatment that concentrates light into the hair follicle, heating it up and disabling hair regrowth. It’s a great option for many women wanting to enjoy visible hair reduction.
The Nava IPL handset works by emitting light which targets the pigment in hair to kill the hair growth cells. Hair will grow back more sparse and slower with each treatment, reducing hair growth permanently over time.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a new innovative hair removal treatment, clinically proven to treat hair on all areas of the body.
The laser light energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then turns to heat and destroys the hair cells.
Clinical studies have proved the safety and effectiveness of IPL for hair removal.
IPL hair removal is a very safe treatment and if used as instructed, our handset poses no risks to the user. It is FCC, CE and RoHs certified for safe use.
The Nava handsets also ensure that all UV wavelengths are filtered by blocking wavelengths below 470 nm from the IPL spectrum. This is done to prevent the light from damaging the top layer of skin and thus avoiding the risks of skin cancer.
One of the many advantages of IPL handsets over other types of laser is that it is practically pain-free. Some might describe it as a slightly hot sensation, however, our handsets are less painful than other devices because of our special in-built ice cooling technology. The ice-cooling technology built-in your Nava IPL handset reduces the skin temperature between 32-41 degrees Fahrenheit which prevents redness, swelling or pain.
IPL can help to even out your skin texture, reducing the effects of photo-aging caused by the sun’s harmful UV rays. It can help to reduce the appearance of birthmarks, liver spots, and freckles – though you should always consult with your dermatologist about the best method for you.
We recommend the IPL device to anyone over the age of 16 since that is when your hair follicle is mature. However, hair maturity also depends on ethnicity. If you are under the age of 18, kindly seek parental consent and consult your dermatologist before starting your treatment.
Results vary from person to person. This can vary depending on the coarseness of your hair and the area you’re treating. You will however notice your hair gradually grow back slower and sparser with each treatment. Most users notice a reduction of hair growth after just 3-4 uses, and complete results after 12 treatment sessions.
Included with your Nava handsets are protective sunglasses that you may use during your treatments. However it is not absolutely required each time. That being said you should never try and look directly into the light as it flashes.
Follow the step-by-step guide to use your Nava Mini Pro:
Before using the handset
Step 1: Shave the area of treatment with the included razor or electric trimmer. The closer to the skin you can get, the more effective the flash will penetrate to the hair root. Do not pluck, wax or epilate the hair, as the hair root needs to be intact for the handset technology to work.
Step 2: Clean the skin and ensure it is hair-free, dry and make sure you have not applied any lotions or creams. Avoid applying condensation, aloe vera gel or any other products before initiating treatment.
Operating the handset
Step 1: Insert the adapter, press and hold the power button for 1.5 seconds to turn on or off the handset.
Step 2: Use the power button to switch the intensity levels by pressing it. The default setting is 1, short press the button to shift 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1. Start on level one for your first treatment and choose the correct level suitable for your skin tone thereafter. Level 1-lowest intensity, Level 5-highest intensity.
Step 3: The intensity bar will begin to blink once you place the light window onto your skin. This indicates that the handset is ready to be used.
Step 4: Ensure that the light window is flat against your skin and click the flash button to treat. The light window will flash pink when it is pressed directly against your skin. If the light window is not in direct contact with your skin the light will not illuminate and flash for your safety.
Step 5: The ice-cooling function is turned off by default. To use this function, short press the cooling button; the cooling function icon will display on the screen if it is turned on.
Step 6: Automatic handset shutdown: When the handset is turned on but not in use (not flashing), it will automatically shut down after 5 minutes.
