    Skintastic uses broadband, Intense Pulsed Light™ (IPL™) technology to "damage" hair follicles for long-term hair removal. IPL systems for hair removal go by many names including the EpiLight® system, the VascuLight™ system and IPL Quantum systems. Each system has shown to be a successful method for reducing unwanted, unsightly hairs. Numerous published studies in professional medical journals attest to the IPL system's safety and long-term effectiveness.

    The IPL system hair removal process is called photo-epilation, which is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis. This means that the light energy is absorbed in the target hair follicles while sparing the surrounding, healthy tissue. Unlike conventional laser systems, IPL systems utilize a broad light spectrum with wavelengths ranging from 590 to 1200 nm (green, yellow, orange, red and infrared).

    They also emit light energy in very carefully timed bursts, or pulses, to:

  • maximize the effectiveness of the treatment
  • decrease the risk of skin damage
  • minimize patient discomfort
  • IPL systems treat the hair by directing light energy through a light guide placed near the patient's skin. A thin layer of transparent gel covers the treatment area to focus the light energy and cool the top skin layer. The light energy heats and damages the hair follicle, typically causing the hair itself to fall out from the follicle. IPL system technology allows your physician to provide a procedure that is gentle and non-invasive, with nominal side effects.

    With its powerful, innovative software, IPL system treatment parameters can be selected by your physician according to an individual's specific skin color, hair color and hair density. This major advantage allows the physician to customize each individual treatment based on personal experience, as well as the unique attributes of each hair follicle.

    As a result of this computer-generated precision, the IPL system has proven effective on the widest range of hair colors, from auburn to brown and dark black hair. Most important of all, the IPL system successfully removes hair from all skin types -- from porcelain-white through olive to darker complexions.

    In addition, IPL system technology enables the physician to efficiently remove hair from any part of the body, no matter how deep the follicles may reside. Treatment of sensitive areas like the lips, ears, nose, underarms, and bikini line can usually be easily tolerated.

    Another IPL system advantage is its wide treatment area, enabling the device to cover more area in substantially less time. In fact, approximately 100 -200 hairs can be treated with each flash of the light so that large swaths of hair on the legs, back and chest can be treated quickly in a single session. At the same time, IPL systems can be very precisely focused, so that hair is eliminated from delicate places.

    Multiple laser treatment sessions are typically required for long-lasting hair removal. In a recent clinical study, researchers from Cornell and Duke Medical Centers reported an average hair loss of 64% at 6 months or more of follow-up after multiple treatments. Study results also confirmed that the IPL laser hair removal system uniquely achieves significant long-lasting hair removal through selective cell destruction to hair follicles.
