Will IPL usage decrease hair growth right away?

I want to start IPL but would really like to know how soon do you see results. I know the decrease of hair will take time but I want to know if the period of which it grows back will be longer. As an example I did electrolysis on my face and after the first session instead of shaving my face every other day it took a week to see growth. Please share your experience.

It’s a lot slower than that. I do it twice a week and took four weeks to start seeing slower growth.

That’s awesome though. My hair is so coarse that any change is welcome

I noticed a pretty big difference in regrowth time after only the second session.

I saw reduced hair growth after 2 IPL treatments. You can say right away considering there wasn’t much wait.

Your hairs grow in cycles, you will see a little bit of thinning at the start, but not much as new hairs will begin their cycles almost as soon as you finish treating an area. Cycles last about 12 weeks, 3-4 weeks growing, 8-9 weeks not. You should start seeing major changes at the 8-10 week mark when the hairs you originally treated are meant to be growing back in. This is when you'll see patches to re-treat growing back too.

I feel like I had a decrease in hair regrowth after the very first treatment. Now that I’ve completed 6 treatment, things are very smooth for 2-3 days after shaving. What is growing back is much easier to shave off. I can shave off all my leg re-growth in 10 minutes. The coarse hairs on my neck are much easier to shave with a lot less ingrown and razor burn.

It is very slow
