Epilight uses intense pulsed-light to remove unwanted body hair.

The wide beam treats large areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face.

The Epilight system uses a broad range of computer controlled light waves through special filters to focus light energy on the hair follicles.

Epilight Hair Removal: Advantages

Laser hair removal generally works best on light skin and dark hair. Persons with dark, coarse hair are the easiest to treat as dark hair contains melanin, a dark pigment which attracts the laser light so more laser energy is absorbed. Fewer sessions are needed.

Epilight on the other hand works well on most skin pigmentations and with all hair colors including blond, red, brown, black and even white.

Many persons say the pain level is less than with electrolysis or laser treatment. The discomfort has been compared to the sting felt when a rubber band is snapped against the skin.

Epilight Hair Removal: How It Works

Many users find that four to six treatments are enough. Some persons require more.

The treatments last between 10 and 30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

After a cool gel is applied to the skin, flashes of pulsed light penetrate the skin and disable hundreds of hair follicles.

Much hair is wiped off when the gel is removed while the remaining hair generally falls out within one or two weeks.

Epilight Hair Removal: Side Effects

Some experience a reddening of the skin which disappears within a few days.

Blisters appear in a small number of users.
