Can IPL be used on hair growth caused by hormonal changes?

Philips Lumea IPL can be used on hormonally influenced hair growth, provided the hair and skin are suitable for treatment. Individual results may vary and ongoing maintenance may be needed.

Details: Hormonal changes can influence hair growth patterns, which may result in the development of new visible hairs over time. These hairs may also become thicker and darker than before. Philips Lumea IPL works by targeting active hair roots to gradually reduce hair regrowth. It does not address the underlying hormonal cause of hair growth. Because hormonal changes may continue to stimulate new hair growth, users with hormonally influenced hair growth may require ongoing maintenance treatments to maintain their results. With the convenience of at-home use and recommended treatment routine, Philips Lumea makes it easy to perform regular maintenance treatments as needed.
