English
these conditions may
lead to serious injury.
• Suer from severe

How Does RPLTM
(Reactive Pulsed
Light) Work?
RPLTM is an advanced
technology which uses
clinically proven IPL (Intense
Pulsed Light) technology in
conjunction with a skin tone
and skin contact sensor.
The light emitted from the
device penetrates the skin
and is then absorbed by the
melanin pigment in the hair
shaft. The heat produced
by this light goes into the
follicle and generates a local
thermal eect, also known as
selective photothermolysis.
The thermal eect disables
the hair follicle which causes
a reduction in hair growth
while leaving the surrounding
skin unaected and cool.
