# (5) Description/ Design of device:
The IPL Hair Removal is a personal, light-based, hair reduction device intended to be sold over-the-counter directly to the end user. The device provides hair reduction using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. The device is only powered by the external power adapter and its IPL emission activation is by finger switch. The device contains Xenon Lamp to emit light and skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact. If the device is not properly applied to the treatment area (in full contact with the skin), the device cannot trigger a pulse. The IPL Hair Removal includes two models, W-1095 and W-1098. The two models are the same in intended use, working principle, the main differences are appearance and output parameters.
# (6) Indications for use:
IPL Hair Removal is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair.
