How do laser treatments work?

To give you a better understanding of just exactly how laser hair removal works, it is important to know that laser energy is attracted to the melanin or color in the hair shaft and is absorbed by the melanin/color in the hair. Heat then travels from the hair shaft out to the stem cells in the bulge near the top of the hair shaft and the bulb cells at the bottom of the hair shaft. If the wavelength is correct and the energy, pulse duration, and spot size are optimized, then there will be enough heat to kill the actively growing hair bulbs which lead to a permanent reduction.  Hair removal is most successful over a series of treatments where most of the hair bulbs will be treated in active Anagen or growth phase.

Once the right wavelengths and combination of wavelengths have been selected for you, the Reflections Laser & Wellness center laser hair removal treatment program can begin. Before your treatment the area is shaved quite short, so only a stubble of hair is emerging from the skin. The laser is then applied to the area and energy is delivered. The laser energy travels down the hair shaft, heating it up. The hair shaft acts as a lightning rod for absorption of the light-based energy from the laser. Remember lasers are a light looking for a dark so the absorption of the laser energy results in heat and the heat spread out from the hair shaft like a tunnel, down to the cells called the internal and external root sheath that is around the bulb, the hair shaft, and the bulge, where the primordial cells that lead to new hair during the telogen (sleeping) and anagen (growing) phases of hair growth. The treatment is fairly quick and after a successful treatment, you will notice the smell of photocoagulation (which is the smell of burnt hair shafts) as well as little red bumps and swellings around the hair shafts.  As a result, you will notice extrusion of dead hair shafts over the first seven to 21 days following your treatment.

Epil Free

 

The Epil Free formula was developed by an expert in the field of chemistry and cosmetic formulations with over 27 years of experience. It was discovered during research of herbs and plants for the healing of skin diseases that cause uncontrollable cell division. Two of the solutions he found were Alcanilia Vulgaris a.k.a “Ladies Mantle” and Greater Celandine, both of which disrupt and impede the cell division process. Interestingly, one of the “side effects” when testing the ingredients chosen for healing skin disease was that the hair in the treated area didn’t grow back. Subsequently, Epil Free was developed and introduced as a new alternative solution for removing unwanted hair.

Epil Free has been used as an effective hair removal treatment in Europe since 2000 and is now available in the US

How it works

The hair shaft is exposed by removing the hair follicle through explication; waxing, sugaring, tweezing or threading.

And activator is applied to increase the poor size and allow the active ingredients to penetrate the hair follicle.

And inhibitor is implied that targets the hair dividing cells in the hair shaft and Wenders them incapable of producing more hair.

This is the new generation of hair removal that combines simplicity of use with extraordinary results. It is a natural and scientific solution for unwanted hair that is suitable for anyone, any hair color or skin type, anywhere on the body. It is as simple as waxing with no side effects on the skin.

It is 82.1% natural and works to inhibit hair growth while nourishing and softening skin cells. It is Target specific and only eradicates the cells that are involved with the hair dividing process, so skin remains healthy.
