HOW DOES PEACH

2 WORK?
PEACH
™
2 is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth. Light energy is
transferred through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the
hair shaft. The absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy (below the
surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle. Treated hairs naturally fall out
over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks. Hair growth is cyclical and follows 3
distinct and consecutive phases. IPL treatment is only effective when hairs are
in a particular phase (the Anagen – growth phase). Not all hairs are in the same
phase at any one time. This is why you should follow the recommended treatment
regimen of 1 treatment every 2 weeks, for 12 weeks.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Immediately post treatment, you should not see any significant side effects from
treatment (Refer to section titled ‘Side Effects’ for more information on side
effects).
In the first few weeks following the initial treatments, you will still see some hairs
growing. These are likely to be hairs that were missed during treatment i.e. they
were lying dormant and not in their growth phase (Anagen) during treatment;
when IPL is most effective.
Around 6 weeks into the 12 week treatment programme you should see a
reduction in hair growth. However, many hairs may still not have been treated
in their growth phase. It is important to continue the treatments every 2 weeks.
After the 12 week programme, you should see a significant reduction in hairs
within the treated area. Any remaining hairs should be finer and / or lighter in
color. Continued monthly treatments, or treatments as required, should maintain
the reduction in unwanted hair.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do NOT use the device:
• if your skin is darker than skin tone 5 shown on the skin tone chart above.
Since dark skin absorbs more light energy, treating very dark skin may cause
discomfort/pain and adverse effects (e.g., burns, blisters, discoloration or
scarring) and injure your skin.
