What is sensiLight™ Mini
The sensiLight™ Mini device is an over-the-
counter device intended for the removal of
unwanted hair. The sensiLight™ Mini is also
intended for permanent reduction in hair
regrowth, defined as a long-term, stable
reduction in the number of hair regrowing
when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after
the completion of treatment regimen.
RPL (Reactive Pulsed Light)™
technology - How does it work
The sensiLight™ Mini is based on
the scientific principle of selective
photothermolysis.
RPL™ (Reactive Pulsed Light) advanced
technology uses IPL technology along
with a combination of unique skin
condition sensors. The light penetrates the
epidermis to the dermis and is absorbed
by the melanin in the hair shaft. The heat
generated by the absorbed light then
dissipates into the follicle and generates
local thermal damage, causing a reduction
in hair growth.
Long-term hair reduction – Hair
growth cycle
Two factors play an important role in
optimal long-term hair reduction:
• Hair growth cycle involves three phases:
Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen. Anagen
is the growth phase, while Catagen and
Telogen are the resting phases. Permanent
hair reduction can only occur during the
Anagen phase.
• Skin types (according to the Fitzpatrick
scale) are illustrated on the diagram
below: Darker skin contains more melanin,
which competes with the targeted hair for
energy light absorption. When more light
energy is absorbed into the skin, there is
a greater risk of adverse effects, and the
epidermis may be damaged.
