What
is
Diode Laser Epilation?
It's
a totally new
personal hair removal system
in which a high-power
semi-conductor diode laser beam is sent deep into the skin where hair
growth starts. The photon energy (radiation) vaporizes and
destroys the follicle cells which produce unwanted hair.
 What
is
IPL Epilation?
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.
Is
Laser 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.
How many treatments will it take?
Most hairs will be eliminated with
two to four treatments, but some will need 5 or more treatments over 90
days to achieve
progressive permanency.
Is
it
painful?
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.
Is Laser or IPL Epilation
right for me?
It's for everyone
rated 1-5 on the Fitzpatrick Scale (most people fall into this
category) who feels they deserve the satisfaction only a
flawless, hair-free complexion can give. Feeling good about yourself "all the
time" is important. Laser hair removal is well worth the few hours and
expense when you compare it to daily plucking and other temporary hair
removal methods.
Can I use this machine easily or does it require training?
The procedure is very easy to learn and
perform and no advanced training is required. The uncomplicated design makes it very
user-friendly, even to novices. Although laser hair
removal systems were originally designed for use by Doctors only,
simplifications in technology have allowed for the equipment to become
available to everyone.
