Treatment - Hair Removal

Goal - Destroy the hair follicle and achieve 'hair free'. Laser and Pulsed Light are both Light based ways to do hair reduction. These Light based treatments only work on hair that is in the active growing, or Anagen, phase. At any given time, only about 25% of the hair on our body is in the appropriate stage (phase) for treatment. The other 75% cannot be affected by light treatments. That is why it is necessary to perform multiple treatments with Laser and with Pulsed Light.

How - Traditional Laser and Intense Pulsed Light systems convert light energy into heat. The Melanin in hair absorbs more of the heat than the surrounding skin tissue. The heat transfers down the hair shaft, and if the temperature at the base of the hair shaft reaches 70° C, the follicle will be destroyed - no more hair!

VPL™ takes this process a step further. By changing the number of pulses in each 'shot', the length of the individual pulses, and most importantly the space, or Delay, between each pulse, the ULTRA can more specifically target different color hairs on different skin types.

The ULTRA VPL™ is the most versatile (and effective) hair removal system that you can buy!

Apply a thin layer of gel to the area. This gel acts as a 'coupler' which intensifies the light, and makes a great guide for the area to be treated.
