What is permanent hair removal?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a technique used for curative or aesthetic skin care, mainly permanent hair removal (photo-hair removal), the treatment of signs of aging, pigment spots (photo- depigmentation) and rejuvenation (photo-rejuvenation).

Pulsed light, more precisely intense pulsed light (Intense Pulsed Light or IPL) has been used since the mid-1990s for aesthetic or therapeutic applications such as permanent hair removal (photo-hair removal), skin rejuvenation (photo rejuvenation), the attenuation of pigmentation spots (photo depigmentation).

The IPL is particularly indicated in people whose skin is damaged by aging, the sun, and who suffer from certain benign skin diseases. Pulsed light photo-rejuvenation thus helps reduce sun spots, age spots and brown pigmentation, as well as spots linked to rosacea (rosacea) and telangiectasias (dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin)

This technique also helps improve the appearance of freckles, reduce the rough appearance of skin, fine lines and dark circles. A slight tingling sensation is generally perceived during flashes. A treatment includes several sessions.

Permanent hair removal: How does it work?

The SHINY EVO: a new generation of pulsed light device revolutionizes permanent hair removal.

The SHINY EVO is the latest generation IPL (Intense pulse light) device. It differs from a traditional IPL using the OPT technique (Optimal Pulse Technology), with less pain and without loss of efficiency, and a high emission power in Joules / cm2.

The SHINY EVO gives priority to treatment comfort, while delivering maximum energy. It comes from a technology that emits constant 3-dimensional energy (energy + pulse + width + pulse in waves) allowing the best aesthetic results to be achieved.

The essential advantages of pulsed light on the Laser:

It can treat different skin types

Unlike the Laser, it destroys the bulb selectively (very targeted on the bulb)

It is faster than laser, thanks to a larger head which processes many more hairs at the same time

Body hair growing in an offset fashion, it is necessary to remove them in several sessions. The hair having a long regrowth cycle, we must leave 4 to 5 weeks between each session, in order to treat a maximum of hairs.

Each person is unique. Depending on the person and the skin photo types, between 20% and 30% of the hair is permanently destroyed at each session. It is therefore necessary - except in special cases - between 8 to 10 sessions for a complete treatment.

The treatment is generally painless and very bearable. The feeling during treatment is that of a tingling sensation each time you flash.

The epilator sends a flash of light which will travel through the hair to the follicle. The heat from the flash of light will destroy the hair root. The heat by destroying the follicle will prevent further regrowth. The darker the pigment, the higher the concentration of melanin.

The absorbed energy of SHINY EVO heats the melanin. This process is called thermolysis.

The warming of the area targets the hair follicle and has the desired depilatory effect.

Treatment in four stages:

• Once comfortably lying down, the hairs are shaved, and a cooling gel is applied to the area to be treated
• The head of the SHINY EVO device is applied to the area to be treated. In a fraction of a second, the light wave sent destroys the hair
• The treated area is disinfected, and a refreshing cream is applied to it
• On regrowth, the hair detaches from the follicle and eventually falls out and the follicle will no longer produce hair

Results of permanent hair removal

SHINY EVO. The new generation of pulsed light epilators produce excellent results and prevent hair regrowth. This results in a smoother, more beautiful and softer skin over the long term.

SHINY EVO is known to produce the best clinical results. Permanent hair removal works by destroying only the hair bulb, making regrowth impossible.

Compared to the SHINY EVO, a conventional IPL device cannot produce pulsed energy flows. In addition, a weak power of a conventional IPL can harm the expected result, unlike the SHINY EVO.
