IPL Device for Full Body: Legs, Arms, Back and More

Complete guide to using your IPL device on the full body. Times, flashes per zone and how to achieve completely smooth skin.

How many flashes do I need for each body area?

Each body area requires a different number of flashes per session. Full legs: 600-800 flashes (15-20 min). Half legs: 300-400 flashes (8-10 min). Underarms: 20-30 flashes (2 min). Bikini line: 40-60 flashes (3 min). Brazilian bikini: 80-120 flashes (5 min). Full arms: 200-300 flashes (8-10 min). Face (lip, chin, sideburns): 20-40 flashes (3 min). Back: 300-500 flashes (10-15 min). Chest and abdomen: 200-400 flashes (8-12 min). Total full body: 800-1,200 flashes per session (35-50 min). With 999,000 flashes, you have enough for over 800 full-body sessions.

What intensity level to use on each area?

Intensity levels should be adapted to each area's sensitivity. Face and upper lip: level 1-4. Underarms: level 3-6. Bikini: level 3-6. Legs: level 5-9. Arms: level 5-8. Back and chest: level 5-9. Abdomen: level 4-7. The general rule: always start 2-3 levels below what you think you can tolerate and gradually increase each session. With Ice Cool technology, you can use higher levels without discomfort even on sensitive areas. Higher levels don't mean more pain with cooling, and they do mean faster results.

Can I use the IPL device on my back myself?

The back is the hardest area to treat alone, but not impossible. Our IPL Pro 999K has a 180° ergonomic handle that makes it easier to reach the lower back and shoulders. For the upper and middle back, you can ask someone for help or use a large mirror to guide you. Another option is using glide mode: place the device and slide slowly, letting the contact sensor activate flashes automatically. For men wanting to remove back hair, IPL is the perfect alternative to waxing or shaving: painless, irritation-free, and with permanent results.
