EpiLight™ Hair Removal

What is the EpiLight™ Hair Removal System?
EpiLight™ Hair Removal System is a non-invasive light therapy device specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body.

How does EpiLight™ remove hair?
EpiLight™ uses pulsed light to remove hair and impair hair re-growth. First, a cool gel and a hand-held treatment unit are gently applied to the skin. Then, in a flash, pulses of light safely penetrate the skin and disable hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. When the gel is removed, much of the hair is wiped off with it. The remaining hair in the treated area falls out within a week or two.

Can all hair colors and parts of the body be treated?
The system's unique design offers you customized treatment, according to your hair color, texture, and location on the body. EpiLight™ can remove all hair colors from all parts of the body including the chin, upper lip, cheeks, legs, arms, underarms, and back—as well as sensitive areas like the ears, nose, chest, and bikini line.

What is EpiLight™ treatment like?
When EpiLight's pulse of light is delivered to the hair, you may feel a mild sting or pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required.

How many treatments are required?
This varies depending upon your hair color and location on the body. Several treatments may be needed, with each session usually lasting 10-30 minutes.

Are there any side effects?

Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?

How does EpiLight compare with commonly used hair removal methods?

How does EpiLight™ treatment compare with electrolysis?

EpiLight'" non-invasively treats hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. So, in a few minutes, EpiLight™ can effectively treat an area that would take over an hour with electrolysis.

How is EpiLight™ different from lasers?
EpiLight's innovative patented technology allows your
doctor to customize treatment specifically for your hair
color, texture, and body location. This flexible approach to treatment cannot be achieved with any laser or non-invasive method currently available.
