HOW IT WORKS

4.2 Working principle
This device works by heating up the hair and root beneath the skin.
The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the released light
pulses. The darker the colour of the hair, the more heat can be
absorbed. This process stimulates the hair to go into the resting
phase. The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth is inhibited.
Hairs can take one or two weeks to shed. Optimal hair removal
cannot be obtained with a single session, as only hairs in the anagen
phase are susceptible to treatment with light. During a treatment,
hairs on the treated area are usually in different stages of the cycle
of hair growth. To treat all hairs successfully and prevent the hair
root from becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated
once every two weeks for the first three months. Your skin should be
smooth and hair free by then. To ensure that you keep these results
refer to our ‘Average treatment schedule’ section (Ch. 6.5).
4.3 Skin rejuvenation
VISS IPL can be paired with an optional skin rejuvenation cartridge
that is available anywhere VISS IPL is sold. IPL skin rejuvenation
works by emitting intense pulses of light to the skin. This light is
absorbed by structures in the skin that have darker color, namely
blood vessels and pigmented areas. These dark structures
instantaneously heat up and are damaged by this intense light. The
body then repairs this minor damage, and in doing so the blood
vessels and pigment spots are absorbed by the body and disappear.
Photorejuvenation is effective against sun-damaged skin, age spots,
rosacea, enlarged pores, acne, mild wrinkling and fine lines.
