It uses a filtering system to eliminate the hair and prevent it from growing again, and it suitable for treating every type of hair colors and skin. First, a cold gel is applied in between the headrest of the device and the skin. Next, in a flash, light’s pulses safely penetrate the skin and destroy hundreds of pilose follicles simultaneously. When the gel is retired, much of this hair goes with it. The hair left on the treated area falls off in a weak or two. With just one shot at facial level, 1050 to 1500 follicles can be destroyed.
Can all hair colors be treated in every part of the body?
This SYSTEM can be adapted to each patient, according to the hair color, texture, and localization in the body. They are usually-treated zones: the beard, the superior lip, cheeks, legs, arms, armpits, and back; as sensible areas as ears, chest, and groins; not mattering if the person is a man or a woman.
How is the treatment?
When the headrest of the device is put on the zone, it is possible to feel a small prick similar to the hitting of a rubber band. Local anesthesia or analgesics are not needed during or after the treatment. Only local ice is utilized.
How many sessions are needed?
According to the hair color and its localization in the body, 4 to 6 sessions are performed, lasting each session from 10 to 30 minutes approximately. The sessions are one per month.
Is there any kind of secondary effect?
A light reddening or local itch, which disappears in 15 to 20 minutes, could appear on the skin. In rare cases (1% of the cases) small crusts could appear, for that reason a test is carried out.
Will there be any restriction on my daily activities?
You can go back to work the same day and carry out all of your activities. You will just have to limit the sun exposure just for two days.
Who are the candidates for the treatment?
Innovating technology patented to the EPILIGHT permits the doctor programming the treatment specifically for your hair color, texture and localization on the body, as for the color of your skin.
Can it be compared to other depilation methods?
• The shaving, the waxing, and the use of depilatory creams are temporal methods that must be repeated with frequency.
• Electric depilation is a tedious, invasive, and painful process that inserts a needle or tweezers for each pilose follicle, and discharges an electric shock to destroy them one by one. Electric depilation frequently requires years of treatment with regular intervals.
• The Epilight is a non-invasive treatment; hundreds of pilose follicles are destroyed simultaneously. Thus, in a few minutes, the Epilight can treat effectively an area that could take more than one hour with the electric depilation.
The Epilight is a device that works with an intense pulsed light that produces a selective and specific photothermolysis of the non-wanted hair. This caloric energy is flexible and could vary with the different types of skin, and hair’s color or thickness. It allows treating the whole body with no restrictions until eliminating part of the scalp, enlarging the forehead to the back. The temperature increase on the pilose follicle is enough to damage its germinal cells without damaging the skin and nearby structures. Cellular rests are eliminated by the macrophages.
This technology allows varying the parameters according to skin’s and hair’s color, hair’s thickness, and density. For example, hair’s deepness vary: on the lips and chin follicles are from 1 mm to 2.5 mm deep, while in the armpits and pubis from 3.5 to 4.5 mm.
The results are better and quicker for thicker and darker hairs, 4 to 6 sessions, and for the thin hairs from 6 to 8 sessions are needed. The result of the depilation is from 85% to 95% of hair elimination with a durability of 10 years.
