It's a clinically proven, progressively permanen
t hair removal system in which a
high-power laser beam is sent deep into the skin where hair growth starts. The photon energy (radiation) vaporizes and destroys the hair follicle in a fraction of a second for a lifelong solution to embarrassing unwanted hair growth of the face and body.
Intense Pulsed Light works similar to laser for cosmetic procedures but uses a powerful flash lamp combined with precision optics to deliver the photon energy to the tissues. It too is a progressively permanent treatment.
IsLaser or IPL Epilation dangerous?
No, the amount of light energy used is extremely small and poses very little hazard to the skin. It is mechanically safe and controlled at every stage of the application; however, African peoples (skin pigment rated on the Fitzpatrick Scale as type 5 to 6) should avoid exposure to diode laser and IPL radiation.
In most cases (and most areas of the body) no. It generally feels like a mild 'pinch' which lasts only a small fraction of a second. Should a client have a high degree of sensitivity to the treatment, adjustments can be made to the machine which will eliminate any sensation as well as pre-treatment with a numbing spray or ice pack.
Is Laser or IPL Epilation right for me?
It's for anyone rated 1-4 on the Fitzpatrick Scale (most people fall into this category) who feel they deserve the satisfaction only a flawless, hair-free complexion can give.
Feeling good about yourself "all the time" is important. Laser and IPL hair removal is well worth the few hours investment and expense when you compare it to the hassle of daily plucking and other temporary hair removal methods.
The results achieved by laser and IPL epilation are generally considered 'interchangeable', meaning about equal. However, each procedure has distinct advantages. Laser Epilation can shave the skin while simultaneously treating the follicle below, whereas IPL cannot.
Intense Pulsed Light, on the other hand, has the ability to treat large areas in less time (due to the total overall energy being used). In terms of 'progressive permanency', they both will typically produce a 90 to 100% reduction in ananagen hair growth activity within 90 days. Treatments should not be administered more than once per 14 day period (or twice a month).
Can I use these machines easily or do they require training?
The uncomplicated design makes them very easy to use, even to novices. No advanced training is required. The Biotechnique Avance equipment line has a worldwide reputation for being the fastest to learn of any major manufacturer. Their engineers built these systems with the small salon or Doctor's office in mind. Quality, simplicity, effectiveness and above all: user friendliness. You will not find a better line, or value, for photoepilation equipment anywhere.
