How to clean an IPL hair removal machine: 3 steps for long-lasting performance

Philips Lumea IPL.

If you hate shaving and haven't invested in an IPL hair removal machine, then what are you even doing? It's a wonderfully convenient solution to making sure your body remains hair-free, and whilst it isn't a permanent fix, you can usually go for about a month before the odd touch-up is required. 

The best IPL machines work by using different wavelengths to target pigment within the hair, heating them to a level which kills the growing cells and ultimately eradicating hair growth altogether. However, to enjoy the best possible results after each treatment, it's important to regularly clean your machine. Philips even recommends users should clean the Lumea Prestige IPL machine after every use.
