Epi-light Hair Removal System

What Is Epi-light Hair Removal System?

Epi-light Hair Removal System is a non-invasive light therapy device specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body.

How Does Epi-light Remove Hair?

Epi-light uses pulsed light to remove hair and impair hair growth. First, a cool gel and a hand held treatment unit are gently applied to the skin. Then, in a flash, pulses of light safely penetrate the skin and disable hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. When the gel is removed much of the hair is wiped off with it. The remaining hair in the treated area falls out within a week or two.

Can All Hair Colors And Parts Of The Body Be Treated?

The system's unique design offers you customized treatment according to your hair color and texture and its location on the body. Epi-light can remove all hair colors from all parts of the body including the chin, upper lip, cheeks, legs, arms, underarms, and back as well as sensitive areas like the ears, nose, chest, and bikini line.

What Is Epi-light Treatment Like?

When Epi-light's pulse of light is delivered to the hair, you may feel a mild sting or pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required.

How Many Treatments Are Required?

This varies depending upon your hair color and location on the body. Several treatments may be needed, with each session usually lasting 10-30 minutes.

Are There Any Side Effects?

You may experience some short-term side effects. These may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling that goes away within a few days.

Are There Any Restrictions On My Activity After Treatment?

You can resume to work and all regular activities the same day. You should limit sun exposure, which is always a good idea.
