A before and after of using the braun ipl on the chin

Eden Stuart

As it was explained to me by a gynecologist, hormonal imbalances exist on something of a spectrum.

I did, and still do,dermaplaneweekly, which takes care of the upper lip and sideburns.

(There are in-office treatments that use longer wavelengths and arecompatible with deep and dark skin tones.)

(A few flashes on your skin.)

Then you’ll pick a start date and receive a custom plan.

Before each treatment, you must remove any visible hair and ensure your skin is clean and dry.

Since I chose my face, I opted to wax a few hours to a day before each treatment.

I would conduct my treatments in the morning or early afternoon.

During each session, I would stamp the unit around my chin and jawline for about two minutes.

To keep it 100, I still have more hair than I’d like around my chin.

Which is about three weeks longer than I could before!

(Or at least a way less hairy one.)
