5EVOLUTION™IPL HAIR REMOVER
INTRODUCTION
The EVOLUTION™IPL HAIR REMOVER uses the latest Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
technology. Placed against the skin, gentle pulses of intense light are directed at the
hair follicle to disable the hair root without affecting the surrounding area. The hair
follicle is disabled as a result of lasting damage to the hair root. Regular treatments
result in permanent hair reduction. IPL is suitable for larger areas such as legs, arms,
underarms, bikini line, back and chest as well as certain areas of the face.

EVOLUTION™IPL HAIR REMOVER
SUITABLE SKIN TYPES
Your Evolution IPL Hair Remover is suitable for fair coloured skin through to olive and tanned skin types. For treatment to be
effective the hair needs to be darker than the surrounding skin. Best results are on pale skin with dark hair.
You may find that different power levels are required on different areas. Each area should be tested for the appropriate
maximum power level.
Use the skin tone chart together with the chart (page 10) to accurately identify your skin tone/type.
