Bondi Body V2 Laser @ Home - Laser Hair Removal Handset

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a modern type of laser hair removal used for permanent/long-term hair removal.

IPL Laser works using an intense flash-lamp, sending out scattered wavelengths of light, making IPL very targeted to hair with pigmentation (dark).

Hair has to be living for IPL laser to work. Meaning hair needs to be attached to the bulb of the growing cells – when you pull out a hair using tweezers, and it has that little jelly bulb around it, it’s one of the 20-30% of living hair on the body.
Having weekly or bi-weekly (for 12 consecutive weeks) IPL laser treatments are the most effective way of reducing unwanted hair permanently.

Before purchasing, please use our Hair & Skin Tone chart below to see whether or not IPL LASER is suitable for you.

Skin: Skin with dark pigmentation can absorb more than the safe amount of light which may lead to discomfort. IPL laser (a home device or in a clinic treatment) will NOT work on black or mixed-race skin tones.

Hair: Lighter hair colours may not pick up the light making the treatment ineffective. IPL laser (a home device or in a clinic treatment) will NOT work on blonde, red, or grey hair.

Definitely! Bondi Laser handsets are suitable for both men and women 16 years and older.

Do NOT use the device around the eyes. We don’t recommend you use the device on the face as this can be problematic in years to come.  Always wear the protective glasses provided when using the device.

Although there is no evidence showing that IPL has negative effects on pregnant or breastfeeding women, we still don’t recommend using our Bondi Laser IPL handset as a precaution.

Bondi Laser is safe to use over freckles and non raised moles. Always speak to your Doctor if you notice a new mole or change to an existing mole, a mole with irregular shape, a mole with more than 1 colour.

You should not use IPL over tattoos. The light energy will be more attracted to the pigments in the skin, rather than the melanin in the hair which can cause a reaction in the skin and blistering. You should always go around your tattoos.

If you have recently been sun tanning, we recommend waiting 2 weeks before using your handset. You should wait 48 hours to tan after using your handset.

The same applies for sun beds. We advise removing all artificial tan before using our handsets, as the light energy may be more attracted to the pigments in the skin, rather than the melanin in the hair. You can reapply the tan after your session once the skin has relaxed.

Yes, this is completely normal. As the light energy is heating the hair, you may smell a slight burning but this just means there may be some hairs that have not been shaved.

Please ensure that you have prepped the skin correctly, and that the skin is completely shaved before starting your session.

You can use the device before you shave or after you shave. The key is making sure the hair in the area you are treating is between 1-5mm (less than half a centimetre) in length.

If your is in this required length you can use the device straight away.  The hair follicle does need to be in tact for IPL to be effective. This means NO waxing, plucking, threading, epilating etc.

This really depends on the severity of your psoriasis. For mild forms of this condition, it is safe to use IPL laser therapy, providing the skin in your treatment area is healthy.

When performing IPL, you are using high levels of heat on the skin. IPL use a combination of light and heat to target and disable hair follicles.

Because of this, we need the skin in the surrounding areas to be strong enough to tolerate this heat. If your skin is weakened, this heat may cause an adverse reaction.

Providing you are not taking any oral medication to control this condition. If you use topical steroid creams, you will need to wait 4 weeks after you have stopped using these before using IPL. 

If you suffer from flare-ups in certain areas, then we recommend that you consult with your dermatologist before using IPL or laser.
