How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light technology works
Hair growth
Hairgrowthratesdifferfrompersontoperson,dependingonage,
metabolismandotherfactors.However,everyone’shairnormallygrowsin
3phases.
1 Growingphase(anagen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.
Melaninconcentrationisalsothedeterminingfactorfortheefcacyofthis
method.Onlyhairsinthegrowingphasearesusceptibletotreatmentwith
light.
2 Degradationphase(catagenphase)
Hairgrowthstopsandtherootshrinksbeforethehairsheds.
3 Restingphase(telogenphase)
Theoldhairseparatesfromitshairfollicleandsheds.Thefollicleremains
atrestuntilthebiologicalclocktellsittobecomeactiveagainandgrowa
newhair.
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lightcanbeabsorbed.This
processstimulatesthehairtogointotherestingphase.
ENGLISH8

- Inbetweentreatments,hairshedsnaturallyandregrowth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growingphasearesusceptibletotreatmentwithlight.
Duringatreatment,hairsonthetreatedareaareusuallyindifferent
stagesofthehairgrowthcycle.Toeffectivelytreatallhairsyouhaveto
repeatthetreatmenteverytwoweeksforafewtimes.
AnintegratedopticallterensuresthatnoUVlightreachestheskin
andguaranteesthattheapplianceissafefortheskin.
