PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION
Unwanted or excessive hair is a common problem. Today, approximately 80 percent of men and women aged 16 to 60 remove face and body hair regularly. A new generation in hair removal systems using the unique LHE (Light Heat Energy) technology enables hair removal from virtually every part of the body (except the eyebrows) safely, quickly, and efficiently.
BENEFITS OF IPL FOR PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION:
Safe and reliable
Selectively targets and destroys only the hair follicles while avoiding high heat levels for the safest light-based treatment available.
Simple and easy
A plug and pulse system that requires no cooling gels or pre-treatment procedures.
LHE, the next generation in light based hair removal, answers the needs and concerns of both practitioners and their clients. Its low energy levels create an ultra safe treatment that doesn’t require any preparation or skin cooling. The easy to use multi-platform flexibility has lowered the cost of treatment to within reasonable boundaries for the average consumer.
Treatments are performed bi-monthly depending on the area being treated, with most areas requiring 5 – 8 treatments for effective long term removal. (Facial hair usually requires more treatments than body)
Light based hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis. Selective photothermolysis involves using a high energy light source to target the melanin in the hair shaft, and then convert that light to heat inside the follicle. The heat then damages bulge and root responsible for producing hair.
To bring down the energy levels and increase safety, LHE relies on the innate synergetic relationship between Light and Heat to create a singularly efficient photothermal technique. Along with powerful safety mechanisms, Radiancy engineers developed innovative algorithms that take full advantage of the skin’s thermal absorption capabilities and limitations. Together these features lower light fluence to achieve unparalleled safety levels. With its unique light and heat combination, LHE maximizes the heat effect on the follicle without damaging adjoining tissue.
How LHE Photoepilation Works
Flashes of broad-spectrum light and heat from the LUA are applied to the target area.
The light selectively targets the melanin in the hair, elevating the temperature inside the follicle.
Direct heat assists coagulation of the hair bulge and root by further raising the temperature inside the follicle.
The combined energy of the light and heat results in subsequent coagulation of the hair follicle. A natural process eliminates the destroyed hair.
The result is long-term hair removal for hair-free skin. |
