How does it work?

The light output from the applicator is preferentially absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This then heats up the hair follicle and disables it so it cannot grow back.

What areas can be treated?

This procedure works well on the face, neck, chest, arms, back, underarms, legs, stomach and bikini line.

What hairs cannot be treated?

Blonde, red and grey hairs are more difficult to remove and may not be able to be treated. Hairs that are not in the active stage of growth (anagen) cannot be treated. To find out more about the Stages of Growth view our downloadable PDF '4 Need to know facts on hair'.

When will I see results?

As the process is designed to reduce the density of the hair growth you will start to see results after your second or third treatment. Because you see yourself everyday it is difficult for you to see gradual improvements taking place. Thus, it is very important that good clinical photos are taken before the treatment and then at the review of three months, this will then display the improvement. Individual results may vary.

How often do you need treating?

After the initial treatment it is advisable to have a second treatment four to six weeks later. The hair can only be removed when it is in its active growing stage; therefore a series of treatments is required to catch the hairs in this cycle.

How many treatments can I have?

There are no maximum amount of treatments that may be undertaken.

Who can be treated?

Virtually anybody can be treated with this system. However, any underlying medical conditions may exclude you from treatment or the results may be negligible. It is very important that you state clearly any medical conditions that you have or any medical treatments you are undertaking.

What photo skin types can be treated?

Fitzpatrick skin types  I-V can be safely treated with no reports of any adverse affects. However, skin type VI is NOT recommended to treat. Your specialist Caci nurse will check your skin type during your consultation.

Can I continue to have other treatments, such as facials, BOTOX®?

Yes, the VPL ENERGIST Ultra System works very well when used in conjunction with other treatment modalities. It is simply a matter of appropriate timing. 

Does Pulsed Light System hair removal hurt?

The sensation varies from person to person and between body areas. Some people feel nothing, some feel a heat sensation, and some have likened the sensation to mild stinging or the flicking of a rubber band. Generally the coarser or thicker the hair, the greater the sensation. Some clients may experience a temporary skin response ranging from mild redness to, rarely, blistering. There is also a very rare risk of scarring occuring. During your consultation, your laser consultant will fully explain the process, expectations and cost of your FREEDOM™ program treatment plan, and will also advise you of any risks associated with this treatment.

What sort of results can I expect?

We can provide testimonials, and “before and after” photographs. It is important to understand that the human body is so superbly designed, it is impossible to remove 100% of the unwanted hair -but using this system we can remove up to 98% in some clients. The average person can expect at least 80% removal, however, this is dependant on age, type of hair, hormone levels, some medical conditions, and some medications. (We note that over 90% of western European and American women use some form of hair removal regularly, ranging from plucking, shaving, waxing, depilatory creams, electrolysis to lasers or VPLs).
