Hi, how are you? I'm Beatriz, and if there's one thing that's ever made me curious, it's whether IPL hair removal really works to get rid of hair once and for all. You know those stubborn little hairs that keep coming back, like on your upper lip or legs? I've tried everything: razor, wax, even tweezers in emergencies (who hasn't?). But when I heard about IPL hair removal, like what Taqcare offers, I was excited – and a little suspicious too. Is it permanent? How long does it last? And is it as good as laser hair removal at a clinic? Today I'm going to share what I discovered and my experience to help you decide if it's worth investing in it!
Problem Explanation
Let's start with the basics: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal uses light to target the melanin in the hair, transforming this energy into heat that “turns off” the hair follicles – those “roots” that make the hair grow. The promise is to reduce hair in a lasting way, but I wanted to know: is this really permanent? And how long will I be hair-free before needing a touch-up? Besides, like many people, I have suffered with traditional methods – razors that irritate the skin and wax that leaves everything red. So, understanding whether IPL delivers what it promises has become almost a personal mission!
Tips for Preventing/Treating the Problem
Before investing in Taqcare, I did a lot of research and learned a few things to make IPL hair removal work:
Prepare your skin: Shave your hair with a razor one or two days before – don't wax or tweeze, because IPL needs the hair at the root to work.
Avoid the sun: Tanned skin can interfere with the results and even cause blemishes, so avoid sun exposure before and after sessions.
Consistency is everything: Use the device regularly, like once a week in the beginning, to catch hair in the growth phase.
Alternatives: If IPL isn't for you, there's laser hair removal at a clinic (more powerful, but expensive) or even waxing (hurts, but lasts for weeks).
I started off by making a big mistake: I used Taqcare only occasionally and didn't see any quick results. After I followed the schedule exactly, I did notice a difference!
Benefits of Taqcare
Now, let me tell you why Taqcare won me over:
Almost permanent: It's not that the hair never comes back, but after about 8 to 12 sessions, it becomes much thinner and sparser. In my case, my upper lip is almost gone after 2 months!
Good duration: After the initial treatment, I go weeks without seeing hair – sometimes up to 2 months on my legs. I do maintenance every 3 or 4 months, and that's it.
The same as a clinic?: Compared to clinics, Taqcare is gentler (it uses several wavelengths, not a single laser), but it gives similar results over time. And the best part: I can do it at home, without spending a fortune!
No pain: I only feel a slight heat, nothing like wax that used to make me cry.
My first session was a bit tense – I didn’t know if I was doing it right. But with the Taqcare manual and a little practice, it became part of my routine. Today, my skin is smoother, and I’m no longer stuck to the razor.
Conclusion
So, that’s it: IPL hair removal with Taqcare is not 100% permanent in the sense of “never having hair again”, but it reduces growth so much that it seems like a miracle. It lasts for weeks after the initial treatment, and with maintenance every few months, you can be free from annoying hair removal for a long time. Is it as effective as clinical treatments? Almost, but with the advantage of being more practical and economical. If you’re tired of temporary methods, I tell you: it’s worth trying!
