What
is the Epilight Hair Removal System? |
 |
The
EpiLight Hair Removal System is a non-invasive light therapy device
specifically designed to eliminate unwanted hair from all parts of
the body. |
| |
|
|
How
does EpiLight remove hair? |
|
EpiLight
uses pulsed light to remove hair and impair hair regrowth. First,
a cool gel and hand-held treatment unit are gently applied to the
skin. Then, in a flash, pulses of light safely penetrate the skin
and disable hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. When the gel
is removed, much of the hair is wiped off with it. The remaining hair
in the treated area falls out within a week or two. |
| |
|
|
Can
all hair colors and parts of the body be treated? |
|
The
systems unique design offers you customized treatment acoording to
your hair color, texture, and location of the body. EpiLight can remove
all hair colors from all parts of the body including the chin, upper
lips, cheeks, legs, arms, underarms, and back - as well as sensitive
areas such as the ears, nose, chest and bikini line. |
| |
|
|
What
is the EpiLight treatment like? |
|
When
EpiLight's pulse of light is delivered to the hair, you may feel a
mild sting or pinch 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. Several
treatments may be needed, with each session usually lasting 10-30
minutes. |
| |
|
|
Are
there any side effects? |
|
You
may experience some short-term side effects. This may include slight
reddening of the skin or local swelling which goes away within a few
days. In rare instances there may be some blistering. |
| |

|
Shaving,
waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must
be repeated on a regular basis. Hair removal with EpiLight offer longer

|
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 treatments at regular intervals.
EpiLight non-invasively
treats hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. In a few minutes,
EpiLight can effectively treat an area that take over an hour with
electrolysis.

specifically for your hair color, texture, and body location. This
flexible approach to treatment cannot be achieved with any laser or
non-invasive method currently available. |
| |
|
|
Is
it permanent? |
|
The EpiLight
has been in trial study in the USA since mid-1990's and has been
approved by the FDA in 1997 for long-term/permanent hair removal.
The FDA has cleared EpiLight for claim of permanent hair reduction
on February 2, 2000.
