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 the hair to kill the hair growth cells. Hair will grow back more sparsely 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 into 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.

Mini Pro is designed to allow for maximum efficiency and customization of your treatment. This is why it comes with two modes to allow you to pace your session and target all areas in the most efficient way.

MANUAL MODE
Single Shot
Suitable for small or curved areas, such as knees, armpits, upper-lip and bikini line. Simply press the flash button and continue treating the target areas.

Glide
Convenient for large areas such as arms, legs and back. Press and hold the flash button and while ensuring the light window is in contact with your skin continuously. The flash light will continue as you glide the handset across your skin.

AUTO MODE
Auto mode will continuously fire the flash bulb without having to hold any buttons as long as the light window is in constant contact with the skin. To activate this mode, press and hold the cooling button for 2-3 seconds. Auto mode is convenient and well suited for large treatment areas such as legs, chest, or back.

This would depend on your skin & hair tone and your hair type. However, we recommend that you:

Week 1-4: 2-3 times per week
Week 5-6: twice a week
Week 7-8: once a week
Week 9-12: once every 2 weeks
Beyond Week 12: treatments once every 2 to 3 months, or as needed

1. It is recommended to avoid contact with water within 6 hours of using the handset.

2. The skin may be slightly inflamed, prickly or warm. The reactions are completely harmless and will soon disappear.

3. You can safely apply lotion, cream, deodorant or moisturizer to the treated area. If there is any tingling or redness after the treatment, please wait for these conditions to disappear before applying any other product to your skin.

4. Do not use perfumes, masks, or cosmetics containing frosted beads after skin depilation.

5. Avoid UV exposure for 24 hours after depilation. Apply sunscreen as required.

6. Sunbathing is likely to cause skin darkening or sunburn. Irradiation at this time will cause redness and may take up to a week to recover from the sunburn.

1. In order to ensure the best results and the maximum service life of the handset, please clean before and after every use to avoid the long-term accumulation of hair and dust. Unclean handsets will not effectively function.

2. After use, ensure the handset is turned off and power is unplugged to cool down the device.

3. Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to wipe and clean the mirror surface of the light surface.

4. Store the device in a dry, dust-free environment at 10-60oC.

5. Never wash the handset and accessories in faucets and dishwashers.

6. Do not use steel balls, abrasive cleaners (toothpaste, etc.) or corrosive liquids (gasoline, motor oil, acetone, etc.) to clean the handset.

1. IPL is only effective when the hair follicle is attached to the hair cell, so be sure to not wax, pluck, or epilate before using the handset as this removes the entire hair cell.

2. It is recommended that you apply sunscreen if you are exposing yourself to the sun after treatment.

3. If you have sensitive skin, shave the night before or at least 6 hours before treatment to help avoid skin irritation.

4. Lifting the light window slightly after every flash will help cool the surface faster and help avoid overheating the skin surface with subsequent flashes.

5. Use the cooling function if you feel a heating sensation.

6. Moisturize the treated area after the treatment session to soothe your skin.

While the Mini Pro packs a punch with amazing features to get you hair-free with its compact size, the Ultra Pro has the extra edge to deliver results faster and in an even more efficient way. Below are some of these key features:

Ultra Fast
With a wider light window area, it covers even more surface area than our Mini Pro making each treatment session faster.

Stronger Energy
With energy output of 26 J/cm2, it releases more energy per flash to terminate the hair at its root. This helps in achieving results in fewer sessions.

Optical Grade Sapphire Crystal
Sapphire is extremely strong and scratch resistant – making it the top choice for a fine IPL device. Optical grade Sapphire crystals have super high thermal conductivity that improves the quality of IPL Lightguide which filters the UV waves. The sapphire glass refrigeration technique also makes the treatment absolutely painless as the heat passes through the Sapphire Lamp and is cooled to protect the epidermis being treated.

Lightweight
At 240g/ 8.46oz, it is lighter than my Mini Pro. Whether maneuvering during a session or carrying it during travel, it is an ultra pro in every sense.

Protected Mode
Built with an auto protection mode, the handset will enter overheat protection mode under extreme use conditions. It will stop emitting in overheating protection mode. During this time, the level 2 indicator will be on or flash continuously.
