What is Intense Pulsed Light System?

Traditionally light based hair depilation system have been associated with lasers e.g.Ruby Alexandite and Nd-YAG laser. However research has shown that - IPL system are regularly producing better results compared to the laser devices originally available. - IPL systems are non-laser, emitting light across a broader range of wavelengths from orange to the infra Red region of the spectrum. The - IPL system filters the light emitted from the flash lamp so that the harmful shorter wavelengths, including UV and the unusable longer wavelengths are removed.

The - IPL hair removal system produces a high intensity flash of filtered light from the applicator head, which has been placed in contact with the skin. The energy from the light source is absorbed by the pigment melanin, which is the chromophore, which gives hair its colour. The hair rapidly absorbs this filtered light and transfers it to the surrounding cells that in turn are converted into heat raising them to a temperature of 70 degree Centigrade or more. The heating denatures the cells making them incapable of producing further hair growth.

The glass applicator is placed in contact with skin surface and the light is pulsed through it onto the skin. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated.

Dark hairs are most easily treated due to the high concentration of melanin that gives maximum absorption and conversion of light energy into heat. Very fair hair has less melanin and consequently less heat is produced, simply raising the fluence output from the - IPL treats such hair. White hair has no melanin and cannot be efficiently treated. The upper skin layer of the epidermis also contains melanin and the concentration increases when the skin is exposed to UV light. It is therefore necessary to treat the dark skinned individuals with less energy to avoid generation of excess heat and pain in the skin. The - IPL software allows us to adjust the treatment parameters for different hair and pigment type.

Does it hurt?

As the light energy is absorbed by the pigment melanin, the discomfort depends upon the concentration of melanin in the epidermis and the hairs combined. Consequently it hurts more in dark skinned people and those with dense dark hair hairs. No anaesthesia is required and most patients describe the pain as moderate and acceptable

The hair should be shaved maximum 1 day before the treatment. A clean wet shave minimises the trauma to the skin, You may also use an electrical shaver. BUT no waxing is allowed, as if the hair is not there then there is nothing to treat. You may shave in-between the sessions as needed.
Long hairs take up the energy and prevent all of it reaching to the hair root. Therefore hair is trimmed just before for maximum transmission of the energy. If the hair is normally shaved and can be seen when shaven then patients can shave right up to the day of treatment. Although plucking and bleaching should not be done. By avoiding any other form of epilating and waxing 4 weeks before the treatment it ensures as many follicles as possible contain hair thus can be destroyed by the light

Unlike other light depilation treatments, hairs are not vaporised by the - IPL treatment. The heat kills the hair roots but the hairs remain in the skin and often become attached to the epidermis. They will fall out after 1 to 3 weeks as the epidermis renews itself. During this period it will seem that the hairs are growing a little faster as the epidermis pushes them out.

How can you tell if the treatment has worked when the hairs are not removed immediately?

Various Indications such as colour of Hair becoming charcoal black and expanding in size or a Red ring around each follicle is often seen a few minutes after the treatment. These are good indications that sufficient heating of the follicles has taken place. Unfortunately this is not always seen and we have seen many patients with successful treatments results without the post treatment signs.

The visible light completely safe so no special precautions are needed apart from glasses for the brightness generated from flash lamp. The skin of some patients may become quite red immediately after treatment and very rarely small blisters as from excessive sun exposure may occur in rare cases. However, most patients experience no side effects at all and the described skin reactions as above usually disappear within hours to few days.

Only hair in the growth phase can be treated. The number of hairs in this phase varies from 20%to 90% depending on the body site. The lengths of the growth cycles also vary from 6 to 24 weeks depending on the body site. For most patients three to six treatments are sufficient to clear an area of hair. After the first treatment most patients get a significant reduction in hair density also new grown hairs tend to become finer. It is important to know that the first treatment is believed to synchronise the anagen (growth) phase of the non-anagen hairs. This may cause what seems to be re-growth but actually just sleeping hairs starting to grow at the same time (new growth) This in turn makes next treatment(s) more effective.

Patients should avoid tanning 1 month ahead of the treatment and immediately after treatment the skin is particularly sensitive to UV light and strong sunlight should be avoided for 4-5 days.

The Facial treatment usually takes 10 minutes whereas both legs will take about 90-120 min.

Most authorities would agree that using the current laser and - IPL technology, it is possible to permanently remove hair. Histology studies have found destroyed and denatured hair follicles cells in post treatment. A recent study showed that the percentage reduction in hairs after treatment using - IPL systems are well above 80%.

Most of us have areas on our skin that keep us from being proud of our appearance. We often wish we could remove the skin discoloration or broken vessels, (small "spider veins" often appearing on the face and other parts of the body as one ages or as a result of an accident or other factors).

Broken veins on the face, broken veins on the legs, portwine stains in children and red-spots on the body in adults all may be selectively destroyed. Using a non-invasive system of light therapy to eliminate vascular birthmarks, facial spider veins and other vascular conditions. Now it is possible to safely eliminate facial veins and vascular birthmarks without injections or surgery with a revolutionary technology that treats vessels with a series of light pulses.

Vascular birthmarks such as port wine stains, are red, pink or bluish discolorations, which sometimes appear at birth. In many cases they develop with age. They are made up of many blood vessels grouped together in the skin.

Sunspots, aging spots, freckles and brown birthmarks can be selectively removed from the skin by targeting melanin in the skin. The - IPL is a simple treatment and permits destruction of shallow and deep pigment in the skin. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, post-procedure care is minimal and the skin reverts to a normal colour usually within a few treatments.

Wrinkles can be the result of any one, or a combination of factors including loss of collagen, sun damage, smoking, alcohol consumption and also hormonal changes. Aging itself is a large contributing factor. Collagen can decrease at a rate of 1% per year after the age of 40. Sun exposure accelerates the aging process and the loss of collagen. It also damages the collagen fibres so that it may no longer support the upper layers of the skin, which results in the formation of wrinkles.

The laser works by stimulating collagen production in the dermis of the skin. As new collagen is generated, lines and wrinkles are softened. Within several treatments, patients see their skin becoming smoother and the signs of aging fading away. Because the laser does not damage the epidermis, or upper layer of the skin, no wound is created. The treatment is most effective on the fine lines found on the face and around the mouth, and results are very natural. Treatments take around 15 minutes, and patients can continue their normal activities immediately. Additionally, the procedure can be combined with other treatments including micro-derm-abrasion.
