    How does the Hair Removal Treatment work?

    The visible light from the applicator is guided via a glass prism to the treatment area. Hair contains pigment (melanin) that absorbs the light and converts it into heat. This heat is led through the hair into the hair follicle, which is then destroyed and rendered unable to produce a new hair.

    To ensure optimal light transmission to the hair a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin. The hand held applicator is then slid over the entire treatment area. For extra comfort the dual action filter mode of this unique system will keep the skin cool while treating so minimal heat is experienced.

    Can all hairs be treated?

    As the treatment relies on absorption of light in the hair pigment melanin, the most efficient treatment is seen with dark hair. The lighter the skin the more effective the separation is between the hair and skin colour, making treatment easier. However, the unique software of the system has pre-programmed settings for different hair and skin types that adjust the energy output accordingly. However, through our experience in the past, even with introduction of a spray soft, blonde and down (villous) hairs is best not interrupted with.

    Does it hurt?

    The hair removal treatment is virtually painless and little or no discomfort or side effects are experienced. However, pain threshold varies from person to person.

    How many treatments do I need?

    Hair growth is cyclical as hair follicles go through resting and growing phases. Only follicles in the growth phase contain hair and are destroyed by the heat. Resting hair follicles need to enter the growth phase before they can be destroyed by the treatment. It is, therefore, necessary to repeat the treatment at intervals until all hair follicles have been through the growth phase.

    The length and timing of the growth cycles are affected by numerous factors such as body site, hair density, thickness, ethnic origin, hormonal status and age. From our experience in the past a course of treatments are required and the intervals between treatments are typically 6-12 weeks apart, which are monitored closely after each treatment for your comfort.

    Do I need to take special precautions before and after treatment?

    The light is completely safe, visible light so no special precautions are needed. However, it is important not to remove hair by waxing 4 weeks before treatment to ensure that as many hair follicles as possible contain a hair and thus can be treated by the light. Depending on your cycle of hair growth the hair has to be visible at the surface, but you can cut hairs between treatments if needs be.

    It is important to avoid tanning before and during the treatment sessions, and to use sun screen (SPF 20) for a few weeks following the treatment.
