It's a clinically proven, progressively permanent 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
(also known as 'Super 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.
Is
Laser or Pulsed Light 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 pulsed light 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
reduce this sensation as well as
pre-treating with a numbing spray or ice pack.
Is Laser or Pulsed Light 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 Pulsed Light 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/SPL 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 Pulsed Light cannot.
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).
