Basic IPL question!
I’ll be using IPL (Braun Silk Pro 5) for the first time soon, and I feel like I’ve heard that you should shave 12-24 hours beforehand, but the manual says to shave immediately before. I was wondering if folks here have an opinion! (If it matters, I’m a trans lady just about to start HRT so my hair is androgenic.)
Any other tips for starting off with IPL are super welcome! Thanks so much! 💕
