FAQ's

The Esskyn hair removal device uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to get rid of unwanted hair. It emits a broad spectrum of light that is absorbed by the hair follicle, turning into heat. This heat damages the follicle, stopping it from growing new hair. With regular sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, the device reduces hair density and thickness. It's commonly used on larger body areas like legs, arms, back, and the bikini area.

The Esskyn IPL device works on brown spots by using intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. The device emits a broad spectrum of light that is selectively absorbed by the pigmented cells in the brown spots. The absorbed light is then converted into heat, which damages the pigmented cells, causing them to break down and eventually disappear over time.

The Esskyn IPL device can effectively reduce the appearance of broken capillaries on the face by using intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. The device emits a broad spectrum of light that is selectively absorbed by the blood vessels in the skin, causing them to heat up. This heat damages the blood vessels, causing them to constrict and eventually fade away over time. A series of treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results, as the damaged blood vessels will slowly fade away over time. The exact number of treatments required can vary depending on the severity of the broken capillaries, the individual’s skin type, and other factors.

Esskyn IPL works to remove the excess oil and dead skin cells that clog pores and contribute to breakouts, the continued treatments will help you to have smaller pores, smoother skin, and a younger and more vibrant appearance.

Yes, our Esskyn IPLs home device is perfectly safe as long as you use them in the prescribed manner and on the right type of skin and hair.

1. Shaving beforehand will prevent your skin from getting burned or irritated in the process. This helps the device target hair melanin better.

2.For facial treatment, ensure a clean, dry face without any creams or oils before IPL use.

3.Choose the right energy level for your skin and hair type. Gradually increase from one to five if there's no discomfort.

4.Avoid flashing the device multiple times on the same skin area to prevent excessive heat and potential swelling.

5.Use home IPL machines on healthy skin only. Avoid using on moles, if you have diabetes, undergoing chemotherapy, using photosensitive drugs, or if you're epileptic. Consult your doctor before using IPL if you're on certain medications.

IPL hair removal is for everyone, not just women. It's for anyone with unwanted hair, whether you're a man or a woman. It's also beneficial for those who want to achieve younger, healthier-looking skin by reducing flushing, age spots, chronic redness, or wrinkles. IPL can work for you, regardless of your gender.

When the hairs do grow back, they’ll be lighter, finer, and fewer in number. After four to six treatments, you can expect a marked reduction in hair. Any regrowth can be managed with touch-up treatments every six to 12 months.

Treatment cannot be done during pregnancy and lactation. This is due to the hormonal and pigmentation changes brought about by your pregnancy. It is recommended to undergo treatment after lactation and after completing 2 cycles of menstruation.

During menstruation, pubic area treatment cannot be done

You cannot use IPL if you have consumed, applied or have had the following:
• Accutane, Roaccutane, Retin A, Vitamin B or AHA within the past 6 months
• Have sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, irritated or broken skin or any open wounds on the treatment area
• Have sores, warts, ulcers, moles, birthmarks or any tattoo in the treatment area
Had Radiation treatment (e.g.: UV Sun tanning), electrolysis or excess sunbathing within the past 6 months
• Had excess sunbathing within the past week
• Had a surgical procedure in the past months
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Note: Avoid swimming in strong chlorinated water immediately before an IPL treatment session.
Avoid exfoliating, microdermabrasion, or peels for 1 week before treatment sessions.

If you have diabetes – People with diabetes should understand that their condition compromises their immune system. Therefore, the healing process of possible adverse effects will take longer than usual. Risks of infection are also of utmost concern.
If you’re undergoing chemotherapy – Patients who are currently undergoing chemotherapy also possess a compromised immune system which makes them not ideal for IPL treatments.
If you’ve consumed Photo-Sensitive Drugs – There are a handful of photo-sensitive drugs that may potentially intensify one’s sensitivity or response to IPL treatments.
If you are epileptic – Light from the treatment can trigger a fit.
It is important to inform your GP or a specialist beforehand if you are on certain medications before using IPL

There is no minimum or maximum age for IPL treatment. However, children under the age of 18 should not use IPL devices or undergo treatments. This is because hormone balances in the body are unstable and new hair growth is rapid.

It is safe and gentle to use IPL around your bikini area to get rid of unwanted hair. Whether you prefer a Brazilian (just a strip of hair) or a full-on Hollywood look; maybe just tidy up the edges. With IPL, you can permanently enjoy smooth skin and forget all about expensive salon treatments.

The safety system in our products has been developed in the device, rendering flashing light harmless to your eyes. Use the device in a well-lit room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes. It is not needed to wear goggles during use. Never use IPL in the area around your eyes or for treating your eyebrows. This is the only thing you should remember.

You should pre-treat your skin by removing hair off of the surface of your skin the same day of treatment or the day before.

For best results, we recommend that you don’t do any form of waxing, plucking, bleaching, and electrolysis treatments. Shaving is your new favorite hair removal method before and between the treatments; anything else pulls hair from the follicle and hinders the IPL process, which you don’t want. If hair grows back between treatments, simply shorten the treatment interval, but do not treat more often than once every 2 weeks, as this will only increase the risk of skin irritation

The treatment methods and results for hair removal are exactly the same. We’ve adapted the technology in our products for safe and effective use at home. That said, there are plenty of benefits. You will save more time and money. The device cost less than 6 treatments at a beauty salon. You can have undergo treatment whenever and wherever you want. It’s a win-win.

NEVER use the device in the shower or bath. Make sure that your device never comes into contact with water. Due to the electronic circuit, this can be very dangerous. Do not ever use the device on the wet skin, either

The sensation is very mild and easily tolerated. It’s painless. Any discomfort will dissipate within a few minutes of treatment.

Of course – Just make sure you clean the lamp of the device thoroughly.

Using your device more often than recommended will not speed up the hair removal process. Please take a look at our IPL guides to learn more.

If you have moles or freckles, do not use the device on them. Try to flash around them, because the energy of the light will be absorbed by the pigment of the mole

IPL results for tightening the skin on the neck are often subtle and require multiple treatment sessions

It’s clinically proven that IPL for home use is not health intrusive and does not cause skin cancer or fertility issues.

It is completely safe to use the Esskyn IPL on melasma patches, as long as these are not dark brown.

The device has two application modes: Stamp mode and Glide mode. Stamp mode is for small and bony areas that are more difficult to treat (e.g. knees, armpits). Place the appliance on the skin, just press and flash, then move your hand to the next close area which should be treated.
Glide mode is to treat larger areas (e.g. legs). Place the appliance against your skin, while holding the flash button pressed throughout the application – just slide the appliance and it will flash as you go. This makes the treatment of large areas easier and faster.

If your treatments are consistent, you will achieve long-lasting, smooth and hair-free skin. Just bear in mind that it will take multiple treatments in order for you to start seeing results – it takes time. This is because our hair follicles are on their own individual growth cycles. But we promise you will see the remarkable results which bring a smile to your face.

IPL is usually not suitable for darker skin tones, because there is much more melanin in the skin that the light will target and heat up. This causes pain and can damage your skin. This device has built-in touch and skin tone tester & adjustable flash-strength, adaptable to your skin type.
The darker your hair colour, the better, because dark hair has lots of dark melanin pigment. It’s this that the light targets and heats it up to damage the follicle to stop hair growth. Since blonde, grey and white hairs do not contain any or enough melanin, IPL treatments will never work on these hair colours. Red hair contains a different type of melanin which is not responsive to IPL

As with the body, it is important when using IPL that the light energy is channelled into the hair follicles on your body in the most efficient way. This can be done by shaving.

Esskyn 3IN1IPL reaches to the deep dermis and the superficial subcutaneous fat layer. It won’t penetrate deep enough to affect or cause pain or problems with any metal in your body (e.g. metal screws are usually deeper than that, at the bony structures under the muscle..) It is safe to use Esskyn 3IN1done in your legs, arms, or even metal plates in the chest…

Yes, you can use it for light skin tones, but unfortunately, IPL does not work for all hair colours and skin tones. It’s important to note that if you have red/ginger, grey/white, or white-blonde hair, IPL will not work for you.
Hair removal IPL works by targeting the melanin inside the root of your hair, which all 3 of these hair colours lack — effectively rendering the technology useless.
But despair not!
You can still use Esskyn 3IN1 for other purposes, such as skin rejuvenation, rough, ageing skin, dim skin, big pores, wrinkles, lack of elasticity, radiance, broken capillaries and acne reduction! Esskyn 3IN1 has proven itself to be very effective in these domains.

The best way is to choose a small area close to the area you intend to treat, for the purpose of performing a skin sensitivity test.
Use the lowest Esskyn 3IN1 level (1). Follow the treatment instructions below, but make sure to emit only 2-3 shots. After the skin test, wait for about 60 minutes and check your skin for any reactions.
If after 60 minutes the skin appears normal and there is no redness or other skin reaction, then you are ready to perform a full treatment and gradually increase the energy level from (1) to (2).
If there isn’t any intolerable pain or reaction of any kind, you can feel free to gradually increase the energy.

The use of IPL devices near the eyes is not recommended as the intense pulsed light they emit can cause damage to the eye. To prevent any harm, it’s essential to always use the UV protection glasses provided with the Esskyn IPL box during treatment and avoid looking directly at the light or flashes for extended periods of time

The power: 3.5 – 5.1 j/cm² or 19.89 joules for the lamp window. this makes Esskyn 3IN1 on the top of the similar IPLs in the market.

Yes, you can use the SR lamp attached with Esskyn 3IN1 for this purpose…
How does it work? Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.

Some small capillaries and veins disappear suddenly. However, 1-7 treatments are needed, one treatment every week. Some capillaries and veins are more visible after the treatment which is a sign that they are destroyed and they will disappear within a few weeks.

There are 5 energy levels to adapt to a wide range of different treatments (rough and aging skin, dim skin, big pores, wrinkles, lack of elasticity and radiance). You can gradually increase the energy level from one to five If there isn’t any intolerable pain or reaction of any kind

Unfortunately, it may not work for people with Very dark brown to black skin. But, for people with light to brown-dark skin, it’s safe and effective

Esskyn 3IN1 is safe for use on the face. It works effectively on the upper lip
It shouldn’t be used near the eyes. for men, we don’t advise to use on the beards. Use on male beards may lead to uneven results.

The wavelength for Esskyn 3in1 lamps as follows:
Hair Removal: 530 ~ 1100nm, Skin rejuvenation: 560 ~ 1100nm, Acne treatment：400 ~ 700 nm.
Power: 3.5 – 5.1 j/cm²

Besides the wavelengths, energy flow j/cm² there are many factors to more selectively target desired cellular or structural elements including pulse sequences, pulse duration, pulse delay time, filtration which is used for each treatment.

SR mode for Esskyn 3IN1 IPL helps treat brown spots by selectively heating up the pigment, Then, the heated damaged area will be lifted to the surface of the skin where it is removed by the skin’s natural exfoliation process. The immediate endpoint from IPL treatment of dyschromia should be visible darkening of the treated brown spots. These typically crust over 24 to 48 hours and peel off within seven days. This process can be accelerated by applying a moisturizer twice a day or by performing microdermabrasion of the treated area 1 to 2 days following treatment

IPL is using melanin as the target chromophore. Since melanin is found in the hair follicle epithelium as well as throughout the epidermis, it is important to selectively target the pigment deposits inside the hair shafts while leaving the epidermal melanin aggregates untouched.
Once melanin absorbs the light energy, it is transformed into thermal energy causing necrosis of the hair follicle. The hair follicle in the anagen phase is the most responsive to this treatment, given the fact that the hair shaft contains the largest amount of melanin

Esskyn 3IN1 is an IPL for home use, besides the wavelengths, energy flow j/cm² there are many factors (e.g. pulse duration, pulse delay time, pulse sequences and filtration which is used for each treatment) to compare with those professional devices with used in clinics or offices.

Esskyn IPL can selectively target desired cellular or structural elements and it proves it can be used for removing FACIAL hyperpigmentation also very effective for permanent hair removal, acne clearance, stimulating collagen and facial rejuvenation, BUT it is not fair to compare it (for particular functions) with those big machines which are used in clinics.

For some treatments, the patient may use rinse-off or AHA medicines with concentrations greater than 30% and a pH less than 3.0 which are considered to present an irritation risk if followed by IPL treatments without leaving enough time. We recommend to some customers that products containing AHA are stopped more than FOUR WEEKS before starting IPL treatment. While we suggest to some other customers, who use medicines with AHA concentrations no greater than 10% at pHs no less than 3.5, that it should be stopped safely ONE WEEK before the IP treatment.

Furthermore, we recommend you avoid the products taken orally that contain multivitamins, and Vitamin B. These should be ceased for 5-7 days prior to the treatment (if these supplements have been advised by your GP please check with your GP before stopping them).

No need for conductive gel. You will need to make sure your skin is clean and free from any water, creams, and oils prior to using Esskyn IPL. After each and every treatment apply a soothing cream to let the skin cool down and to help avoid any skin irritation

The Esskyn IPL with the Skin Rejuvenation lamp is very effective in treating facial broken capillaries. However, the Skin Rejuvenation treatments with a home-use IPL on the feet and ankles area will not have the same outcome. The reason is due to the thickness of facial skin being different from the thickness of body skin, and the treatments, in this case, need a stronger device in energy like those devices used in the physician’s office. However, we advise that you visit your dermatologist to determine the underlying condition and can figure out your best mode of treatment

Esskyn 3IN1 IPL comes with power levels 1-5 (3.5J/4.0J/4.5J/4.7J/5.1J) / cm² and 3.9 cm ² Spot Size or 19.89 joules for the lamp window. This puts Esskyn IPL on top of the similar home-use IPLs in the market.
