PERMANENT EPILATION WITH IPL MACHINE

Permanent epilation

During epilation the light is absorbed by the melanine, the dye located in the hair and it is converted into heat. The heat will be conducted into the fullicule by the hair itself, where the temperature reaches 70 degree of Centigrade. Then the cleavaging matrix cells located in the fullicules being in growing phase will be perished and will not prepare hair any more. If the adequate temperature will not be reached effect can be detected namely the hairs will be miniaturized and the resting phase of the hair will be prolonged and the hair will grow out later than generally. During miniaturizing an almost invisible "vellus" (namely down) evolves instead of the dark and strong "terminal" hair. Inrespect that the treatment can affect neither the fullicules being in interim phase nor the fullicules being in resting phase you should wait them to reach the growing phase and then they can be treated successfully. The patient need several treatments to kill all the hair producing cells in all fullicules. By the help of 6 to 8 treatments made in a correct way can result in a 80 to 85% permanent epilation, of course it depends on several individual prameters.

Based on the above mentioned facts there are several considerations which are eliminated and therefore the treatments give no perfect result.

On one hand the presence of the hair itself is essential for the treatment but it should be as small as possible and on the other hand the hair should contain melanine. THus the treatment is not applicable to grey, fair or red hair because these type of hairs do not contain adequate quantity and quality melanine. For the epilation of these types of hairs there is no any method or machine using light in spite of that there are a lot o advertisements about it.

The other important point of view is that the ideal result can be achieved only by sufficient treatments made in determined periods of time. It can vary on the different members.

Generally it can be declared that the ideal result can be achived by 6 to 8 treatments made in four-week intervals.

The course of treatment

The patient arrives at the clinic after making an appointment by phone;
Recording the patient's data and making a card for her;
Giving information to the patient in a written form about the action to be made;
Personal consultation;
Discovering the accidental contra-indications and conditions which would not permit the treatment;
Detailed representation of the treatment;
Information about the possible side-effects arising after the treatment ( temporary skin rubefaction, blistering-off, impetigo, temporary hiperpigmentation, temporary hipopigmentation, etc.);
Domestic nursing after treatment;
Determination of the skin type (Fitzpatrick 1-6) and documentation;
Making treatment plan, discussion about the frequency of treatments;
Signing the declaration of approval;
Taking photo documentation;
Cleaning the skin area to be treated;
Covering the area to be treated by a cooled gel;
After the adjustment of the instrument parameters the treatment is carried out;
Using ice jelly on the treated area if necessary;
Skin sedative spray will be applied on the treated area;
In summer time using suntan lotion with 40 to 50 factor on the treated area.

Before the treatment

you cannot use resin;
you cannot use solarium and avoid sun-bathing;
you should shave the area to be treated the day before, taking care about the hair not to be longer than 1 mm;
do not use browning or suntan lotions and even make-up;
do not make peroxiding and deep peeling agents on the area to be treated in two weeks before the treatment.

Description of the treatment

During the treatment in order to decrease the accidentally arisen inconvenience a cool transparent gel (e.g. ultrasound gel) will be applied on the skin to be treated after washing the skin by clean water. This jelly can decrease the pain during the treatment and provides an ideal and optimal connection between the skin and the treating head (namely the light). Before starting the treatment a low energy test shot will be applied near the area to be treated in order to reach the maximum efficiency and the minimum irritation. Then the area covered by gel will be covered by light impulses near each other with minimum overlapping. An inside temperature increase in the fullicule and the death of the cleavaging matrix cells of the hair will happen during the treatment.

A little rubefaction is normal around the fullicules after the treatment. A sedative spray containing aloe vera will be applied on the treated area then a suntan lotion with 40 to 50 factors will be used in summer time.
