Hair removal with light is one of the most effective methods to get rid of unwanted body hair with longer lasting results. It is completely different from current home hair removal methods and Philips has been investigating this method together with leading dermatologists for almost 10 years.You can now use this innovative technology comfortably in the privacy of your own home, whenever you want. This appliance is intended for removing women’s body hair on areas below the neck: -underarms -bikini area -legs The appliance is not intended for: -persons with a too light body hair colour (light blond, red, grey or white body hair) or a very dark skin. See chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’. For more information about the SatinLux, see how photo-epilation works hair growth Depending on age, metabolism and other factors, everyone’s hair grows differently, but hair normally grows in three phases: 1 Anagen phase (growing phase) The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase the concentration of melanin is highest. Melanin is responsible for the pigmentation of the hair.The more melanin there is in the root, the darker the hair is. Melanin concentration is also the determining factor for the efficacy of this method. Only hairs in the anagen phase are susceptible to treatment with light. 2 Catagen phase (degradation phase) The hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the hair sheds. 3 Telogen phase (resting phase) The old hair separates from the root and the new hair slowly pushes out the old hair.The root remains at rest until the biological clock tells it to become active again and grow a new hair (4). Hairs on an area of skin are usually in different stages of the cycle of hair growth. Working principle The appliance removes hair by heating up the hair and root beneath the skin.The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the released light pulses. The darker the colour of the hair, the more heat can be produced.This process stimulates the hair to go into the resting phase. The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth is inhibited. Optimal hair removal cannot be obtained with a single session, since only hairs in the anagen phase are susceptible to treatment with light. During a treatment, hairs on the treated area are usually in different stages of the cycle of hair growth. To treat all hairs successfully and to prevent the hair root from becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once every two weeks.
