How it Works

Photoepilation using either laser or pulsed light systems, is based selective photothermolysis theory. With the right choice of wavelength, fluence and pulse duration, it is possible to obtain selective thermal damage over a specific target, just minimising harmful effects to the surrounding tissues.

In hair removal treatments, the target to be destroyed is the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the melanin contained in the hair which acts as an “intermediary” for transmitting damaging heat inside the follicle.
