9. Long Term Hair Removal the Silk’n SensEpil™ Way
Silk’n SensEpil™ is a personal light-based device for long-term
hair removal. The process of laser and light-based hair removal is
well known and established.
It has been proven in clinical use around the world for over 15 years
as a safe and effective way to achieve long-term hair reduction
9.1. How does light remove hair?
Light-based hair removal is based on the theory of selective
photothermolysis in which optical energy is used to disable hair
growth. In order to achieve such thermal effect the hair shaft
needs to selectively absorb light energy and transform it into heat.
This selectivity is achieved when optical energy that is delivered to
the tissue is mostly absorbed by hair shaft pigment, while the skin
and the surrounding tissue stays cool. Melanin is the pigment in the
hair shaft that is responsible for the absorption of the light, which
generates the heat that eventually disables hair growth. Therefore
the more melanin present in the hair (i.e. the darker the hair) the
more light that can be absorbed and the more effective light can
be at removing hair.
9.2. How does the hair growth cycle impact light-based
hair removal?
Every hair in our body goes through the three phases of the
hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. These phases
have an important impact on how the process of light-based
hair removal works.
Anagen is the hair growth phase while Catagen and Telogen, both are
resting phases.
Before Silk’n SensEpil™ Application
Anagen - Growth phase
Catagen - Resting phase
Telogen - Resting phase
18-24
Months
Anagen
Telogen
Catagen
The time it takes to complete a full hair growth cycle varies from person to person and
the location of the hair on the body, but is typically 18-24 months.
At any given moment the majority of the hair follicles in any skin area are in the resting
phases. These resting hairs cannot be affected by Silk’n SensEpil™.
However, hairs in the growing Anagen phase will respond to Silk’n™ SensEpil
applications. It is important to understand that it may take a full hair growth cycle to
realize complete hair removal results with Silk’n SensEpil™.
