WHAT IS ROSSWAN AUSTERE
The ROSSWAN AUSTERE device is an over
-the-counter intended for the removal of unwanted hair. The
ROSSWAN AUSTERE is also intended for permanent reduction in
hair regrowth, defined as a long-term, stable reduction in the
number ofhair regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months
after the completion of treatment regimen.
IPL Technology-How does it work
The ROSSWAN AUSTERE is based on the advanced IPL technology.
The light penetrates the epidermis to the dermis and is absorbed by
the melanin in the hair shaft. The heat generated by the absorbed
light then dissipates into the follicle and generates local thermal
damage,causing a reduction in hair growth.
02
Long-term Hair Reduction-Hair growth cycle
Two factors play an important role in optimal long-term hair
reduction:
•
Hair growth cycle involves three phases: Anagen, Catagen, and
Telogen. Anagen is the growth phase, while Catagen and Telogen are
the resting phases. Permanent hair reduction can only occur during
the Anagen phase.
•
Skin types (according to the Fitzpatrick scale) are illustrated on the
diagram below: Darker skin contains more melanin, which competes
with the targeted hair for energy light absorbed into the skin, there is
a greater risk of adverse effects, and the epidermis may be damaged.
