Our hair removal system emits pulses of light into
the skin. Pigment in the hair absorbs that light and
converts it into heat. The heat causes the hair to
loosen and disables the cells that are responsible for
hair growth. With several regimented treatments, you can
achieve permanent hair reduction.

How many treatments would I need?
|
| |
Hair follicles exist in three different cycles--Anagen (Growing),
Catagen (Intermediate), and Telogen (Shedding). At any given
time, there are follicles in each of the cycles in the skin. The
follicle is most susceptible to treatment during the Anagen
phase. Typically, 4-6 treatments about a month apart are needed
to ensure that all follicles are treated when they are
vulnerable. Since each person is different, treatment results
vary. Because of this individual variation and even differences
in the hair growth on different parts of the body, more or fewer
treatments may be needed.

How long do the treatments take?
Depending on the body area being treated, it can take from 15
minutes (small areas such as upper lips or underarms) to an hour
or more (large areas such as legs or back). Our IPL treatment
window is much larger than most lasers. This spreads light over
a wider area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and
quicker treatments as a result.
Does it work on all colors and types of hair?
Unfortunately, the technology works best with black to light
brown coarse hairs. Light interacts with the pigment in the hair
and the hair follicle. Blonde, red, and white/grey hairs have
little pigment for the light to heat. Because coarse hairs are
larger, they naturally contain more pigment than the finer or
“peach fuzz” hairs. |
