How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light technology works

Hair growth

Depending on age, metabolism and other factors, everyone’s hair grows

differently, but hair normally grows in three phases:

1 Anagen phase (growing phase)

The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase the concentration

of melanin is highest. Melanin is responsible for the pigmentation of the

hair. The more melanin there is in the root, the darker the hair is. Melanin

concentration is also the determining factor for the efcacy of this method.

Only hairs in the anagen phase are susceptible to treatment with light.

2 Catagen phase (degradation phase)

The hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the hair sheds.

3 Telogen phase (resting phase)

The old hair separates from the root and sheds. The root remains at rest

until the biological clock tells it to become active again and grow a new

hair. Hairs on an area of skin are usually in different stages of the cycle of

hair growth.

Working principle

The appliance 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, since 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 rst two months. Your skin should be smooth and hair free by then.

To ensure that you keep these results, it is advised that you keep repeating

treatments every two weeks on the underarms and bikini line. On the legs,

however, regrowth of hair is usually slower. Therefore, a treatment once

every four weeks should also be sufcient to keep your legs smooth and

hair free. If too many hairs grow back in these four weeks, then simply

shorten the interval between treatments again, but do not treat more

often than once every two weeks.
