pulsed light

Our technology:
We used E-light technology also called IPL+RF is the most efficient solution.
complete for an effective treatment for all skin types and all
skin colors (including dark skin).
E-light combines the advantage of IPL technology and RF technology into one
device and offers PROFESSIONALS precision and efficiency without
safe precedent. It uses significantly less energy than
conventional and IPL lasers
Through the combination of optical energy and radio frequency energy this
which leads to better results.
Multi-pulse IPL with skin cooling

Pulsed light: how does it work?
Depilation is done by the emission of light and the absorption of this light by a target
: hair. The light reaches 70°C and destroys (only) the hair, eventually causing a
almost non-regrowth of it. In the hair, it is the pigment (melanin) that will capture
light and thus heating.
The technical specificity of pulsed light, compared to the laser, lies in the spectrum
wider emission (several wavelengths instead of just one with the laser) of the
light. 

How does a pulsed light hair removal session work?
Not being considered a medical procedure, pulsed light hair removal is
generally practiced in aesthetic centers.
Before any session, we take a few precautions:
 Shave the hair in the affected area approximately 2 to 3 days before the session (plus the
hair is thick and dark, the more it is spotted by the light).

 Anticipate feelings of heat and tingling by applying to areas
more sensitive, such as the bikini line or the face, an anesthetic cream (prescribed
by a doctor).
 Protect your moles and wear anti-radiation goggles (provided
by the institution).
Once lying down in a cabin, the professional diffuses the flash light on the areas
process for 5 to 15 minutes. You only feel a few tingles and a
feeling of warmth. Be careful, sensitive areas may be a little more
painful.  

​

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IPL AND LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Both treatments work with the help of light, light energy which is
produced in the form of photons but the length of the wave and the duration of the
impulses are different. The laser is a medical device that should be used by
a qualified doctor. Pulsed light and adapted to be used by
qualified beauticians.

The principle :
The pigments of the hair are heated by the flash: this heat will generate the
destruction of the hair follicle thus preventing hair regrowth.
Before your 1st session:
A Flash test session is carried out in order to examine the reactivity of your skin and
determine your needs.
After each session:
The hairs will gradually fall out. A very marked decrease in regrowth
is visible throughout the sessions.
Recommendation :
1 session per month for a year**. Then 1 to 2 annual maintenance sessions.
**Recommended minimum number of sessions. Session spacing may vary.
from one subject to another.

Disclaimer:
Do not use IPL + RF on pregnant women, people wearing
pacemaker, metallic/electrical/acoustic prostheses, suffering from epilepsy,
diabetes, phlebitis in the legs, varicosities.

Question answers:
I have dark skin, I heard that pulsed light only works on
fair skin, and black hair true or false?

On fair skin with dark hair, the treatment works the fastest.
Our latest generation IPL machines can treat very fair skin from
phototype 1 to brown skin of phototype 4. Black skin is treatable
with a different filter from other phototypes. You should inquire before
schedule a session. We do not treat blond, white or red hair.

Is permanent hair removal possible on the down of the face?
Down that is too fine is not treatable because it does not contain enough melanin. On the
face, fine hair like the top of the lips, is most often treatable if
it is sufficiently pigmented. For the cheeks, the hair must be dark and
thick enough. The hair diagnosis of your first appointment
lets you know if your hairiness meets the criteria for considering treatment
permanent hair removal.

Is permanent hair removal by pulsed light painful?
The sensation of the flash on the skin is not pleasant, but it is bearable.
The effect felt is that of a sharp, but very brief, tingling that lasts only
a few milliseconds. Right after the flash, the sensation disappears. Sensation
tingling is proportional to the number of hairs on the treated area. Over
sessions, the intensity of the tingling decreases. Some areas like the
bikini line are more sensitive, but it is not necessary to apply a cream
anesthetic. Before starting a treatment, a test session will be
proposed in order to familiarize you with the sensation caused by the effect of the flash
on the skin.

What are the side effects following a pulsed light session?
No side effects follow the pulsed light session. During a session
permanent hair removal by pulsed light, small redness, due to heating
hair melanin, appear at the base of the hair follicle. These redness
disappear in a few minutes or, exceptionally, in a few hours if
the hair is very thick. Very rarely, side effects may appear,

only in the event that a contraindication is not respected. The app
cosmetics on the skin, recent sun exposure, are examples that
can lead to photosensitization of the skin. Certain medications
are contraindicated. If you are taking medication, a certificate
doctor will be asked, specifying that the medicine is not
photosensitizer. In exceptional cases, which may occur in particular if
several contraindications are not respected, photosensitization can
be large enough to cause a superficial burn. By
example, in the event of sun exposure combined with the application of suntan oil, in
the days preceding the meeting. Complications are then a
hyperpigmentation of the skin (brown spot) whose melanin will have coagulated, followed
hypopigmentation (pink then white spot). The skin repigments
then, and resumes its normal appearance more or less quickly depending on the intensity
of photosensitization, and according to the phototype. This is why it is very important
to respect the instructions and contraindications, the list of which is given to you before
to start your sessions. To minimize the risk of
photosensitization, a questionnaire is presented to you at each session, and a
test is carried out on each zone at each session. If the skin shows any
abnormal redness, the meeting is adjourned.

Can you expose yourself to the sun before a permanent light hair removal session?
pulsed?
Exposure to the sun is contraindicated before the sessions. The calendar of
treatment that will be offered to you will take into account your planned dates
of sun exposure. Before a session, do not expose the areas to the sun
treated for several weeks, 4 to 5 depending on the phototypes. This deadline will be
also adapted according to the intensity of your tan. A test session
may be required 48 hours before your session, in case your skin remains very
tanned more than 5 weeks after the last sun exposure, or if you
think you have been unintentionally exposed on a daily basis.
 
Can hair grow back after permanent hair removal treatment with
pulsed light ?
The hair cannot grow back when the root that allows it to regenerate is
destroyed. At the end of the treatment, some persistent hairs may however
require editing. In women, in case of hormonal change, on
some areas, such as the face, a few isolated hairs may occur after the
treatment. In men, testosterone stimulates regrowth, and annual monitoring
may be necessary in some cases.

What is the difference between permanent hair removal and long-lasting or semi-permanent hair removal?
sustainable ?
Permanent hair removal and permanent hair removal are often confused. hair removal
definitive is only possible with professional equipment. Some epilators
commercially available pulsed light offer long-lasting hair removal or
semi definitive, because the intensity of the flash is insufficient to destroy the root of the
hair. Their repeated use slows down regrowth. We are therefore talking about hair removal, and not

permanent hair removal. For permanent hair removal by pulsed light, we often speak
depilation, which is the result of skin on which all the hair has disappeared.
What is the difference between permanent laser hair removal and permanent hair removal by
IPL photopilar treatment?
 
The professional pulsed light, allows, just like the laser, the destruction of the
hair root. Whatever the device, laser or pulsed light, the treatment does not
only works on hair in the anagen phase, the growth phase. The number
number of sessions required will therefore depend on the hair regrowth cycle.
 
Lasers are medical devices that can only be used by
laser dermatologists. Many used in surgery for
cut tissue with precision, some medical lasers can be used
for permanent hair removal.
The laser filters a single wavelength, the best known are Alexandrite for
light skin or ND Yag for dark and dark skin.
The laser, having only one wavelength, needs many
energy to reach let destroy the root of the hair. In case of contraindication
not respected, this high quantity of energy could cause burns on the
skin.
 
From laser technology research, multi-pulse IPL technology
is intended for aesthetic treatments, the materials are developed
specifically for permanent hair removal. The control panels allow
to select a wider spectrum of wavelengths.
 
The objective is to be able to very precisely adapt the settings of the selection of
wavelengths to the color of the skin, but also to the type of
hairiness. Also note that the integrated cooling systems
allow today a better comfort of treatment.
 
With more wavelengths, less energy
only laser is enough to permanently destroy the hair root. The IPL process is
therefore less invasive than the laser, but, as with laser treatments, there are
contraindications and instructions to follow. 
Like medical lasers, IPL devices are safe. They must
meet CE standards.
 
Laser and Professional IPL are 2 different ways of using light to
going to destroy the root of the hair in an irreversible way.
 
Only professional devices will be powerful enough to reach the root
hair for a permanent hair removal result. Pulsed light devices or
laser sold to individuals   offer so-called lasting hair removal, but not
final, they do not remove hair, their energy is too low to destroy
the root of the hair.

Beware of certain doctors who want a monopoly on hair removal treatments
wrongly claim that permanent hair removal is prohibited for beauticians,
which is not the case.
