9.2 Hair Reduction
Using the 610nm Hair Applicator:
Hair type is relative to the area being considered. Normal hair in one area
may be considered to be thin in another, e.g. Upper lip compared to bikini line.
Therefore the operator should be careful to take the area into consideration. If
a number of hair types occur in one area, the hair type of the darker hairs
should be chosen to ensure that the most apparent hairs are removed.
Once the Patient’s skin type and hair type have been determined, the energy
output of the System can be set, ensuring that the Hair Depilation Applicator
(610nm) is connected. Whilst the Energist UltraPlus system is capable of a
wide range of pulse and pulse delay settings, deviating from the following
recommended settings should only be carried out by an experienced Operator
and with the consent of the client.
The following tables provide the pulse settings for a successful
treatment, however, the energies quoted should be used as a guideline
and increased or decreased as necessary to gain the required end point.
As can be seen from the tables below, the starting fluence is decreased and
the
Off Delay
is increased as the skin type darkens and pigmentation
increases. Increasing the
Off Delay
helps protect the surrounding tissue by
allowing it more time to cool down in comparison to the hair.
The format for the pulse train is:
first number. second number. third number (e.g. 5.3.1)
First number: Number of pulses in the train
Second number: the ON time
Third number: the OFF time
