HAIR REMOVAL
What Is Plasmalite?
Plasmalite® is the third generation of Light Based Hair Removal Systems. Incorporating all the benefits of both Laser and Intense Pulsed Light in a single system and using unique fluorescence technology, Plasmalite® offers non-invasive, safe and effective hair removal for all skin types and hair colours.
How Plasmalite® Works?
Plasmalite® uses the power of light to target the melanin found naturally in the hair shaft and hair follicle. Clinical trials have shown that red light is preferentially absorbed by the melanin. Each pulse of red light causes the temperature within the hair shaft and hair follicle to rise. Once the temperature reaches about 70ºC, the proteins in the cells denature and each active hair follicle dies, its ability to regrow destroyed.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of treatments required varies, depending on the density and location of the hair growth. Approximately 30% of the body hair is in a growing phase at any one time. The remainder is dormant and unable to absorb light. Plasmalite® will remove about 75% of the growing hair at each treatment. Most people need between 3 and 5 treatments. However, extremely coarse, dense hair eg a mans beard, may take longer.
How Does It Feel?
Most people experience minimal discomfort, feeling no more than a slight tingling sensation. A topical cooling gel may be applied prior to treatment to minimise the sensation.
How Long Does A Typical Session Take?
The Wave Guide covers an area of skin measuring approximately 10mm x 20mm. Each pulse occurs between 1 and 3 seconds. Therefore an area of unwanted facial hair may take less than 30 seconds to treat, whilst a man's back or a woman's leg may take up to an hour to complete.
What About Skin Colour?
Black hair in white skin is the easiest to treat. However, trials show that people of Hispanic, Middle Eastern or Asian origin usually have a sufficient difference in pigmentation between the hairshaft/follicle and surrounding skin tissue for treatment to be successful.
s Hair Colour Important?
In general, the darker the hair, the more effective the treatment. However, blonde hair often responds well to treatment even when an early prognosis was less optimistic.
What Does The Treatment Involve?
When you come for Plasmalite® treatment a trained medical professional will discuss how Plasmalite® works and assess if it is suitable for you. A test patch will be carried out to observe its effect on you. A thin layer of the cooling gel may be spread over the area to be treated. The Wave Guide is then drawn over the area and you may notice a series of short light flashes as it passes over. You may not see an immediate difference, but within 2-3 weeks of your second treatment, most of the hair will have disappeared.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Some parts of the body are more sensative than others and may redden or swell slightly, however this should settle down after a few hours. In extreme cases slight blistering may occur, this normally heals within a few days. A temporary increase or decrease in skin colour may also occur, but again this is extremely rare and always soon disappears.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Plasmalite® can be used to treat any area of the body and any skin type. It is, however important for a test patch top be performed before proceeding to a full treatment.
Is There Any Thing Else I Should Be Aware Of?
Some people are more sensitive to light than others.
Test patching is necessary to check your suitability for treatment. Please note though that the test patch result is not necessarily an indication of a full treatment result.
Do NOT wax between treatments, although shaving is fine.
Avoid exposure to the sun and sun beds for 4 weeks before and after the treatment.
