IPL world wide is the number 1 treatment that causes the most injuries to clients. In our training we train to never put the hand-piece directly on the skin of the client to prevent injuries. The power used on clients with IPL no matter high or low can cause damage to the clients skin due to the unknown of what chemical makeup that particular client has. If you keep the hand piece on a higher power and no closer than 2 inches from the treatment area then your client will receive the desired results without causing any damage to the skin.
