What is the latest advance in the removal of unwanted hair?
The EpiLight hair removal system is a technological breakthrough which allows the gentle removal of unwanted hair with a flash of light. Whether on the face, back, legs, bikini line, or just about anywhere, the EpiLight hair removal system is a safe and effective method of long-term hair removal for stubborn and annoying hairs. How does EpiLight remove hair?
EpiLight uses intense pulsed light to remove hair and impair hair regrowth. First, a cool gel is applied to the skin and a hand held treatment unit is placed in the gel. Then, in a flash, pulses of light safely penetrate the skin and disable hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. Some hair may wipe away when the gel is removed. Additional hair in the treated areas falls out over the next one to two weeks. Can all hair colors and parts of the body be treated?
The system's unique design offers you customized treatment according to your hair color, texture, and location on the body. EpiLight works best with darker hair colors because the light is readily picked up by pigment. White, gray, and blond hair contain minimal to no pigment and for this reason will not respond to treatment. EpiLight can be used on any part of the body including the chin, upper lip, cheeks, neck, legs, arms, underarms, and back, as well as sensitive areas like the ears, nose, chest, and bikini line. What is the EpiLight treatment like?
When the pulse of light is delivered to the hair, you may feel a mild sting similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required. How many treatments are required?
This varies depending upon your hair color and location on the body. Each hair goes through three stages of growth, therefore 4-6 treatments are recommended. Are there any side effects?
You may experience some short term side effects. This may include slight reddening of the skin, which usually goes away in a few hours. Local swelling may also occur, which goes away in a day or two. In rare instances, there may be some blistering. How does EpiLight compare with commonly used hair removal methods?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must be repeated on a regular basis. Hair removal with EpiLight offers a faster and easier alternative to existing hair removal methods. How does EpiLight treatment compare with electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatment at regular intervals. EpiLight non-invasively treats hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. So, in a few minutes, EpiLight can effectively treat an area that would take many treatments with electrolysis. How is EpiLight different from lasers?
EpiLights innovative patented technology allows your cosmetic technician to customize treatments specifically for your hair color, texture, and body location. This flexible approach to treatment cannot be achieved with lasers or non-invasive method currently available.
