PHOTOEPILATION WITH IPL LUMENIS M22

Ì
Photoepilation is a modern powerful procedure for the removal of undesired hair, based on the affection of particular hair structures with the intense pulsed light (IPL). In this case, the main target for the action of the light is melanin, a pigment within the hair, which determines the hair color. IPL photoenergy provides the heating of hair shaft up to the temperature at which growth cells within hair follicles die casing hair follicle breakdown. Epidermis and surrounding tissues are not damaged. Moreover, intense pulsed light treats hair feeder vessels, which makes the hair removal procedure even more effective. Light affects only hairs that are in the growth stage, which is about 20% of hairs (depending on the area). Therefore, to get rid of undesired hair, 5 to 8 procedures spaced 1-2 months apart are required.
