Which area is typically contraindicated for IPL and laser hair removal?

The area under the eyebrows, which is located near the eye, is typically contraindicated for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser hair removal due to the proximity of the eyes to these powerful light sources. These technologies can cause potential harm to the delicate structures of the eye, including the risk of burns or damage to the cornea and retina. Additionally, the skin in this region is more sensitive and prone to adverse reactions compared to other areas of the body.

In contrast, areas such as the upper lip, armpits, and legs are generally considered safe for these hair removal techniques, as they are not located close to the eyes and are more suited for the application of these technologies. Therefore, the under eyebrow area stands out as a specific region where IPL and laser hair removal should be avoided to ensure patient safety.
