Why choose i-LIGHT
®
Pro+ Face & Body?
Energy output
Refers to the amount of energy the IPL unit is able to apply to the hair follicle. IPL partially works by applying heat to the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin
relatively cool. The heat effectively disables the hair follicle. A higher energy output delivers more heat to the hair follicle, yielding a more effective treatment. Energy
output is measured in J/cm² (Joules per square centimetre).
Recommendation: An energy output above 6J/cm² is recommended to efciently achieve permanent results, and is similar to professional hair removal devices.
The i-LIGHT
®
PRO+ Face & Body provides a high energy output - 7-8J/cm².
Energy levels
Completing a comfortable IPL treatment will depend on the ability to vary the energy output for differing levels of sensitivity. Areas such as the face, bikini line and
underarms are especially prone to hair removal sensitivity. A device with multiple energy levels will allow you to customise your treatment according to your individual
comfort level. Note that lowering the energy level will reduce the energy output, and this may result in more treatments to attain long lasting hair removal results.
Recommendation: Look for devices that have a minimum of 5 energy levels that only vary by one Joule (J/cm²) and maintain an energy output above 6J/cm².
The i-LIGHT
®
PRO+ Face & Body has 5 energy levels to suit all individuals and an energy output above 6J/cm².
Wavelengths
The depth that the IPL energy is able to be delivered will depend on the wavelengths of light that the IPL device produces. Selecting a device with a low wavelength
may result in treatments that do not fully reach the hair follicle at its root, resulting in less effective treatment. Wavelengths are measured in nanometres (nm).
Recommendation: Wavelengths above 600nm are recommended to achieve permanent hair removal, which will produce a ash that is red in colour.
The i-LIGHT
®
PRO+ Face & Body has ProPulse™ selective wavelength (>600nm).
