Quick answer
To use the Diamond Performance 2.0 IPL Hair Remover, shave the area first, then select an intensity level comfortable for you, press the device against your skin, and release a light pulse. Repeat weekly for visible reduction.
Why preparation matters for IPL results
The Diamond Performance 2.0 IPL Hair Remover works by targeting pigment in the hair follicle during its growth phase. For the light pulse to reach the follicle effectively, the hair above the skin must be removed first—shaving is ideal. Waxing or plucking removes the follicle target, so avoid those before treatment.
Clean, dry skin also helps the device glide smoothly and ensures consistent contact, which is necessary for the safety sensors to activate.
Choosing the right intensity level
This device offers several intensity levels so you can adjust based on your comfort and the sensitivity of the area. Start with the lowest setting on a small patch of skin to test your tolerance. Higher settings may work faster but can cause discomfort on bony areas like ankles or knees.
The interchangeable attachments help you treat larger zones (like legs) and smaller areas (like underarms) more precisely. Always use the correct attachment for the body part you are treating.
Step-by-step instructions for using the Diamond Performance 2.0 IPL
- Shave the treatment area: Use a clean razor to remove all visible hair. Do not wax or pluck, as the IPL needs the hair root intact to work. Shaving 24 hours before treatment gives the skin time to recover and reduces irritation.
- Clean and dry your skin: Wash the area with mild soap and pat dry completely. No lotions, deodorants, or perfumes should be on the skin—they can interfere with the light pulse.
- Select intensity level: Start with the lowest setting on a small test spot. Increase gradually if you feel only a warm sensation, not pain. Use lower levels on sensitive areas like the face or bikini line. If you feel sharp pain, reduce the intensity immediately—it should never hurt.
- Attach the correct treatment head: Use the larger attachment for legs, arms, and back. Switch to the smaller head for underarms, bikini line, or face. Snap it on until it clicks. Using the wrong attachment may reduce effectiveness or cause uneven coverage.
- Position and press the device against skin: Place the treatment window flat against your skin. The device will only flash when full skin contact is detected. Press firmly but not hard enough to indent the skin. Lifting the device mid-flash can cause skipped spots. Keep it steady.
- Release a pulse and move to the next area: Press the flash button. A light pulse will release. Move to the adjacent skin area, slightly overlapping the previous spot to avoid gaps. Work systematically in rows. Do not flash the same spot twice in one session—it increases irritation without adding benefit.
- Aftercare: soothe and protect: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or aloe vera gel. Avoid sun exposure on treated areas for at least 24 hours. Do not use hot baths, saunas, or exfoliants for the rest of the day. Redness usually fades within a few hours. If it persists, skip the next session until skin returns to normal.
