What impact does the growth cycle of the hair have on photo-epilation?
Every hair on our body has three growth phases: the anagen, catagen and telogen phases.
These three phases play an important role in the process of photo-epilation. The anagen
phase is the growth phase of the hair, while the catagen and telogen phases are both resting
phases. The time the hair takes to go through its follicular
cycle varies completely from one person to the next, and
from one part of the body to the next. We can, however,
establish an average of between 18 and 24 months.
Most hair follicles are found at any one time in one of the
two resting phases. Consequently, the Homelight epilator
will have no effect when they are in these resting phases.
Nonetheless, it will affect the hair that is in anagen phase. It
is therefore important to understand the duration of a full
follicular cycle to obtain lasting results with your Homelight
device.

Optimising the results by planning your Homelight depilation sessions
A full follicular cycle takes on average from 18 to 24 months during which many sessions
with your Homelight epilator will be necessary to obtain long-lasting results. The efficiency
of the appliance will vary from one person to the next and will depend on the area being
treated, the colour of the hair and the way in which the appliance is used.
