Is IPL Right for You?

Suitable Hair Colors

IPL works best on:

  • Dark brown

  • Medium brown

  • Black

  • Dark blonde (with enough pigment)

Not Suitable For

  • Light blonde

  • Red

  • White / gray

(These colors contain little to no melanin, which IPL needs to target the follicle.)

Suitable Skin Tones

IPL is recommended for:

  • Fair to Medium Skin Tones (Fitzpatrick I–IV)

Not Recommended For

  • Deep or very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick V–VI)

    This is due to higher melanin levels which may absorb IPL energy and cause irritation.

Disclaimer:

IPL results vary based on hair color, skin tone, and consistency of use. IPL is not suitable for very light blonde, red, gray, or white hair, or for deep skin tones (Fitzpatrick V–VI). Do not use IPL over tattoos, dark moles, or pigmented lesions. Luness devices are designed for cosmetic hair reduction and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
