1.
How does it work in hair removal?
The
Plasmalite hair removal system uses high-energy light, in a unique and patented
fluorescence technology. A pulse of red intense light penetrates the skin. The
hair shafts and the hair follicles contain more pigment than the surrounding
skin tissue. Therefore, they absorb more light, which rises the temperature.
When it reaches about 70°C the protein denatures in the active cells, and the
hair follicles die. The
pulse duration is the only variable setting. Everything else is automatically
set according to the pulse duration. With such easy handling and operation, a
perfect result - every time, with every customer - could be achieved.
2.
How does it feel?
The
procedures are almost pain free. The horny dead cells in
the superficial layer of the skin (epidermis) become warm and heat up the
underlying dermis. Application of a cooling topical gel prior to pulse shooting
keeps the thin epidermis cold, which minimizes the pain sensation. Most people
experience minimal discomfort, feeling no more than a slight tingling sensation.
3.
How many treatments are needed?
The
most dramatic changes occur usually after the second treatment.
Most individuals need 3-5 treatments, but few people may require extra
treatments.
4.
Why is the variation in the number of the sessions?
The
number of the required treatments varies, depending on the density and location
of the hair growth. Approximately 30% of the body hair is normally found in the
growing phase. The rest is dormant, regressed and unable to absorb light. Around
60–95% of the growing hair can be removed at each treatment.
5.
How fast is the treatment?
Each pulse covers 10x20 mm skin area, which is optimal to keep the balance between efficiency and practical considerations. A new pulse can be fired every 2–4 seconds. Thus, a moustache area may take less than 30 seconds, while a man’s back or a woman’s leg may require 30 minutes to 1 hour.
6.
Does the hair thickness matter?
In fact, thick hair requires more light to achieve the same results as thin hair. However, the thick hair absorbs more light during the pulse duration. As Plasmalite has a unique feature called Balanced Light™, the same pulse covers all grades of the hair. In general, the darker the hair, the more effective the treatment. However, blond hair often responds well to treatment even when an early prognosis has been less optimistic.
7.
What about skin complexion?
The combination of black hair and white skin is the easiest to treat. However, many clinical studies showed that the difference in pigmentation between the hair shaft/follicle and the surrounding skin tissues in the non-white skin (e.g. people of Hispanic, Middle East or Pakistan/Indian origin) is usually large enough to achieve good results.
8.
How does Plasmalite ® work?
Plasmalite uses the power of light to target the melanin found naturally in the hair shaft and hair follicle. Clinical trials have shown that red light is preferentially absorbed by the melanin. Each pulse of red light rises the temperature within the hair shaft and hair follicle. Once the temperature reaches about +70°C, the protein in the cells denatures and the active hair follicle dies and loses its ability to re-grow.
9.
Which areas could be treated?
Plasmalite ® can be used to treat any area of the body and any skin type. However, it is important to perform a test patch before proceeding to a full treatment.
10.
What does the treatment involve?
When the client comes for a hair removal (HR) treatment, a trained therapist will discuss how Plasmalite works and evaluate if it is suitable for the client. A test patch will be performed to observe its effect on the client. A thin layer of optical contact gel is spread over the area to be treated. The wave-guide is then applied over the area and a series of short light flashes are passed over each 10x20 mm spot. The patient does not often, but might not always see an immediate difference. However within 2-3 weeks after each treatment most subjects see a drastic effect, i.e. most of the hair will disappear.
11.
Are there any side effects?
Some
parts of the body are more sensitive than others and may flush or swell
slightly, but this should settle down after a few hours. In extreme cases slight
blistering may occur, which heals normally within few days. A temporary increase
or decrease in skin pigmentation may also occur, but this is rare and disappears
usually in few months.
12.
Is there something the client should be aware of?
Some people are more sensitive to light than others. Therefore, it is important that the client is completely honest when filling out the assessment form. Test patching is necessary to check the clients suitability for treatment. Please note, however, that the test patch result will not necessarily be the same as the result after the completion of the treatment. If the client feels any discomfort during the treatment or if the cooling gel starts to warm up, he/she should inform the therapist immediately. Waxing between treatments is not recommended, but shaving is fine. The client should avoid exposure to the sun and sun beds for 4 weeks before and after treatment.
13.
Is it safe with Plasmalite?
The light from Plasmalite spreads out in all directions, but it does not affect the eye in anyway more than a camera flash. It is, therefore, much more safer than laser. An additional unique safety feature in plasmalite is that, if the sapphire wave-guide is not in proper contact with the skin, the amount of light is automatically reduced by 25%. |
