IPL Quack Claims

Painless or Virtually Painless

While many clients tolerate flashlamp without requiring pain relief, it's overpromise to state that treatment will be painless for all consumers.

Permanent Hair Removal or 100% Permanent or Permanent

Some consumers experience permanent reduction of treated hair over the course of treatment, but published studies have observed that many consumers are not good candidates, and even ideal candidates with light skin and dark hair do not always respond to treatment.

Guaranteed 0% Regrowth

There is no published clinical data to substantiate this sort of overpromise.

Beyond Laser

This marketing term suggests that flashlamp is better than laser for consumers, but this is not always the case.
