Skin/Hair Type Suitability
Sense Laser emits a light with a wavelength of 810nm in a single color (red color). In this lenght, the skin is
essentially transparent to the light while melanin will absorb the energy.
Darker skin contains more melanin, which competes with the targeted hair for laser light absorption. When more
light energy is absorbed in the skin there is more risk of adverse effects and the epidermis may get damaged.
Using a light wavelenght of 810 nm enables treatment of relatively dark skin. However, Sense Laser is not
suitable for Afro-Caribbean or black skin complexions.
Sense Laser laser light focused in a specific target (melanin) an thanks to this, will not cause harm to the sur
-
rounding tissue when used properly but, also because of this, laser light is ineffective in removal of white, red or
grey color hair.
As a guide:
Darker hair will respond better to treatment
Thick hair will see results more quickly
The greater the contrast between the skin and hair colour (e.g pale skin, dark hair) the faster and better the
response.

Recommended protocol for treatments:
Everyone´s hair grows differently, depending on age, weight, metabolism, hormones, ethnicity, medications, and
other factors. But all hairs goes through three distinct growth phases:
Anagen phase. This is the active growth phase of the hair. During the Anagen phase the hair has an abundance
of melanin.
Catagen phase. In this phase, the hair stops growing but is not yet shed. The hair follicle shrinks at this time as
the hair is prepared for eviction.
Telogen phase. During this phase the hair falls out and a new hair begins to form. The hair follicle is not treat-
able during this time.
Laser treatment is only effective when the hair is in the active growth phase (anagen). Therefore multiple treat
-
ments are required to achieve long term permanent hair reduction.
Also in a single treatment not all of the hair follicles in the active phase will be destroyed. The initial treatment
should be repeated to take care of active hair follicles that were not effectively treated in the first session as new
hair growth is observed.
The treatments can be performed every two weeks until you see desired results, usually 3 months. Then adjust
the amount of treatments to achieve satisfaction.
Some individuals may require more, and some fewer treatments. Individuals with lighter skin types and darker
hair can tolerate more aggressive parameters of high fluence so they will require of less treatments, usually 6.
Darker skin types require of 10 treatments or occasionally more.
During the course of the treatments, hair becomes finer and lighter.
What to expect when using Sense Laser
Because Sense Laser emits a coherent beam of light, the flash during the shooting will be almost imperceptible
and you will only see a red shadow around the whole square of the treatment window. It will not harm the eyes
when the treatment window is applied with full contact to the skin, on the recommended treatment areas, but
avoid looking directly at the flash.
Fan noise – Lower than that of a hair dryer.
A continuos beep while the device is effectively emitting the light.
A sensation of warmth – from the light energy after each pulse.
A mild stinging sensation - similar to that of being snapped with a rubber band.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Please ensure you treat using an appropriate energy level to decrease the likelihood of experiencing harming on
the skin.
Generally no sides effect will be apparent. Rarely mild redness, slight reddening and some swelling may occur.
This will fade over 24 hours.
However, every cosmetic procedure including the usage of home use devices may cause some degree of side
