IPL SHR OPT Machine is an advanced device used for treatment based on selective photothermal action and offers up to 1 Million shots of longevity.
Broad spectrum pulsed light penetrates the skin, where it is absorbed by specific chromophores (blood chromophores in case of vascular lesions and melanin in case of pigmented lesions). Once damaged, your body naturally clears it away leaving behind healthy and vibrant skin.
1. Effectiveness
IPL (optical pulsed light) therapy uses multiple wavelengths of light to treat hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and acne reduction. Treatment with IPL is quick, safe, and highly effective for most patients – though topical anaesthetic may be advised for added comfort during the procedure.
At IPL treatment sessions, a handheld flashgun is held against the skin while an array of light is delivered through it to penetrate its layers and reach melanin in hair follicles, where it absorbs into melanin causing it to disintegrate and prevent future growth of hair – leading to reduced dark colour on skin as well as clearing away acne scars, freckles or other unwanted blemishes.
Although IPL results are permanent, for optimal results you must continue protecting your skin from sun exposure after treatment in order to preserve them. Otherwise, sun spots and broken surface blood vessels could appear over time after being exposed to direct sunlight after your initial treatments have concluded; but with continued treatments and avoidance of further exposure these marks should eventually dissipate over time.
Contrary to its laser counterpart, IPL can be safely used on skin of all colors without damaging surrounding tissues. An enhanced version called Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) emits more uniform square waves to eliminate initial peak energy that could cause burns while increasing safety. Furthermore, OPT’s shorter pulse duration and increased safety ensure maximum effectiveness with less sessions needed for maximum effectiveness; plus its built-in cooling system helps protect surrounding tissue from overheating.
2. Pain
OPT hair removal is generally painless when performed by a certified and experienced aesthetic practitioner, though the treatment may cause minor discomfort due to flashes of light being directed onto your skin. You can minimize discomfort with cooling gel applications or by drinking plenty of water during treatment.
At an IPL session, you will be provided with protective goggles to wear to protect your eyes. Light waves are then directed at dark pigmented hair follicles that absorb laser energy and convert it to heat energy; this thermal energy destroys bulbs and follicles that promote further hair growth as well as pores and fine lines.
IPL treatments are highly effective and can be applied to virtually all areas of the body, even delicate areas like the chin or sideburns. It should be noted, however, that IPL is a progressive process and may take multiple sessions in order to achieve permanent hair reduction due to how hair grows in cycles – not all follicles will be in an active growing phase at any one time.
Your Skin from Within skin specialist will assess your situation and develop an individualised treatment plan to give the best possible outcomes. Plus, once the hair has been eliminated it won’t come back. So if shaving and waxing is becoming tiresome for you, talk to us now about IPL hair removal as an alternative solution!
3. Side effects
IPL treatment works by using a handheld flash gun to apply light of an adjustable wavelength onto the skin layers, striking melanin hairs and oxyhemoglobin blood vessel cells to convert their melanin content to heat energy, thus eliminating unwanted hairs. Furthermore, this device prevents their regrowth while simultaneously stopping further hair regrowth. However, IPL may cause discolouration of skin especially among individuals with dark complexions.
Prevent discomfort before IPL treatment it is advised that a topical anaesthetic be applied, but this isn’t always necessary. Also avoid tanning and spray tanning in the days and weeks leading up to your IPL session as well as tight clothing in the area being treated and adhere to a treatment schedule with regular sessions until desired results have been reached.
IPL treatment doesn’t cause as much discomfort than laser hair removal; its sensation can be described as similar to an elastic band flick or hot oil spatter; however, modern devices often work so quickly that you may barely feel their pulses.
BoSidin IPL with Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) employs a unique combination of laser and photon-assisted technologies to maximize effectiveness while decreasing post-treatment side effects. Its 10Hz high frequency pulses deliver energy uniformly across your skin’s surface for safe delivery of energy treatment.
IPL creates a smooth, healthy complexion without the need for invasive procedures with associated risks. Not only is IPL used for hair removal, but it can also reduce stretch marks and uneven skin tone while helping fade scars, sun damage and pigmentation.
4. Cost
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments provide an alternative to more traditional hair removal techniques such as shaving, waxing and plucking. Utilizing a wide spectrum of light that targets pigmented hair to heat it up and destroy its follicle, these IPL sessions offer permanent hair loss – once destroyed they won’t grow back! Sessions generally range between $85-$400 per session with about eight needed to achieve 70% less growth from hair. Prices depend on provider experience with more experienced providers often charging a premium.
Contrasting lasers which use only one wavelength of light and emit only a single color, IPL uses multiple wavelengths that cover a broad range of skin absorption peaks within it (for instance melanin in hair and oxyhemoglobin in blood vessels), to reach each hair follicle and create thermal shock within tissue that damages it, inhibiting further hair growth while simultaneously decreasing pigmentation in surrounding skin areas.
OPT hair removal or IPL offers safe and permanent hair reduction solutions for most people with darker hair. Requiring fewer sessions than other options available, it is ideal for people who have a low pain threshold or sensitive skin; in addition, IPL treatment can also be used to diminish blotchiness, freckles and dark patches on the body.
OPT SHR IPL Hair Removal Machine is an outstanding, low-cost IPL device for use at home. Utilizing cutting-edge semiconductor technology to emit light that penetrates deep skin layers and turns into heat to eliminate hair follicles quickly and effectively, this hair removal system may produce visible results in as little as three weeks!
5. Time
For optimal results with OPT or IPL hair removal treatments, multiple sessions will likely be required. This depends on both your hair type and growth rate – for instance if it has fine and slow growing locks it could take more time before reaching desired results.
At an IPL treatment session, light is directed through an IPL device and converted into heat in order to kill hair follicles and cause dormant ones to stop producing new hair growth; any existing hair that remains will become lighter, thinner and less dense over time. Although not considered permanent solutions, IPL treatments can significantly decrease unwanted hair for an extended period of time.
While there are numerous at-home IPL devices on the market, their quality and effectiveness can differ considerably depending on which you select. It is crucial that your chosen device be approved by an authoritative body such as FDA, CE or TGA to ensure both its safety and efficacy.
OPT IPL laser hair removal machine utilizes SHR technology that optimizes pulsed light energy to reduce pain and avoid burns while making treatment faster and more effective than traditional IPL. While traditional IPL requires up to 8 pulses for each treatment session, OPT SHR machine only needs one flash as each pulse has the same amount of energy.
