5. Presentation of your Homelight epilator
For more than 25 years, BaByliss has placed itself at the leading edge of technology to better respond to
the increasingly demanding and pointed desires of women in depilation. Thanks to the IPL (Intense Pulsed
Light), pulsed light epilation technique, the BaByliss Homelight epilator will eliminate unwanted hair gently and
painlessly leaving smooth and silky skin for a long time.
This epilation procedure produces a pulsed light that absorbed by the melanin (the hair’s pigment), is carried
to the bulb and transformed into heat. This thermal effect painlessly destroys the hair and roots and prevents
regrowth. This scientifically proven technology gives quick and lasting results.
The BaByliss Homelight epilator offers a safe and long-lasting epilation in the privacy and comfort
of your own home.
The Homelight epilator is a hair-removal appliance that eliminates unwanted hair from the body (in particular,
legs and arms), the sensitive areas (underarms, bikini line) and from the face (cheeks, upper lip and chin).
The Homelight epilator can be used by men and women aged 18 and older.
5.1. Long-lasting hair removal method with the Homelight epilator
The Homelight epilator is a personal long-lasting photo-epilation device. The photo-epilation procedure
is well known and has been mastered. It has been subjected to over 15 years of clinical testing around
the world and has proven its effectiveness and its safety in offering gradual but long-lasting hair removal.
How does the light eliminate hair?
Photo-epilation is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis which uses optical energy to stop
the growth of the hair. To obtain such thermal effects, the root of the hair must selectively absorb the light
energy and transform it into heat. This selection is produced when most of the optical energy emitted is
absorbed by the pigment of the bulb, while the surrounding skin and tissue remain cold.
Melanin is the pigment found in the hair, which allows the absorption of the light, to transform it into heat
