Lasting hair reduction — at home
Karixe Glide IPL uses Intense Pulsed Light to target melanin in hair follicles. Over 8–12 sessions, follicles weaken and hair growth slows dramatically. Most customers see 60–80% reduction by session 12, with maintenance only once a month after.
Unlike a shaver, the results compound. Unlike a clinic, you spend $79 once instead of $2,000 over a year.
Who it works best for
- Hair color: Dark brown, black — the darker the hair, the better IPL works
- Skin tone: Fair to medium (skin tone sensor will auto-pause on darker tones for safety)
- Body zones: Legs, underarms, bikini line, arms, chest
Who should skip IPL
- Blonde, red, or grey hair — no melanin target for IPL to lock onto
- Very dark skin tones (VI on Fitzpatrick scale) — risk of burns
- Recently tanned skin — wait 2 weeks after sun exposure
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin conditions (eczema flare, psoriasis, open wounds)
- Taking photosensitizing medication (certain antibiotics, retinoids)
Consult a dermatologist if you’re unsure — safety matters more than speed.
How to use
- Shave first with Karixe Glide 24 hours before your IPL session
- Clean the zone — no lotion, no sunscreen, no deodorant
- Charge the IPL device via USB-C
- Start on intensity level 1 or 2 for your first session
- Place the flash window flat against skin, press to pulse
- Move to the next spot (no overlap)
- Apply fragrance-free moisturizer after
Session cadence: once per week for 8–12 weeks, then once per month for maintenance.

Safety + expectations
IPL is a serious tool. Read the full manual before first use. Always wear the included goggles. Never flash the same spot twice in the same session. If you feel pain beyond a gentle warmth, stop and lower the intensity.
Don’t expect permanent removal. IPL causes long-term reduction — not permanent elimination. Some hair regrowth is normal, especially during hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause).
Frequently asked
How soon will I see results?
Week 4–6 you’ll notice patches slower to regrow. Real reduction shows by week 8. Full protocol: 12 weekly sessions + monthly maintenance.
Does it hurt?
Most users describe it as a warm rubber-band snap. Less painful than waxing, more noticeable than shaving. If it hurts badly, lower the intensity.
Can I use it on my face?
Only on upper lip and chin — avoid eye area. Don’t use around the eyebrows (risk to eyesight).
Will my hair grow back?
Some regrowth is normal — IPL weakens follicles but doesn’t destroy them. Monthly maintenance after session 12 keeps results.
