How long before I see results?

• Based on the recommended treatment regime, you should expect to see some improvement in 3-4 weeks (1-2 treatments)
  
  
• Hair will continue to grow up to 2 weeks after a hair reduction session – thereafter the hairs will naturally and gradually fall out depending on the hair growth stage
  
  
• The number of sessions required for achieving long term results is different for every treatment area and changes for every user, as it is affected by type of skin, hair and hormonal changes.
  
  
• Maintenance will be needed from time to time if growth is still visible.

What is the hair growth cycle and how is relevant to permanent hair reduction?

Hair growth cycle involves three phases: Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen. Anagen is the growth phase, while Catagen and Telogen are the resting phases. Permanent hair reduction can only occur during the Anagen phase.

Hair will continue to grow, up to two weeks after a hair reduction session. However, afterwards, as the hair grows in three different stages, it will naturally and gradually fall out depending on the hair growth stage in during which the treatment was performed.

Some hair may not be affected by sensiLight™ Mini due to the different hair growth phases. Only hairs in the active growth phase will be affected. To remove this hair, multiple treatment sessions are required to achieve the desired results.

When should sensiLight™ not be used?

Do not use sensiLight™if you are:

• Pregnant
• Nursing
• suffering epilepsy
• being treated for cancer
• taking photo-sensitive drugs
• useing active implants such as a pacemaker, insulin pumps, or similar devices since it may cause interference

Avoid the following:

• Do not use on naturally dark skin (refer Fitzpatrick level guide)
• Do not use if you have dark brown or black spots such as freckles, birth marks, around the nipples, moles or blisters in the area to be treated
• Do no use if you have piercing or any metal items such as earrings or jewellery on the are to be treated as it many cause burns
• Do not use if you have tattoos or permanent makeup on the area to be treated

Why is RPL™ technology more advanced?

Older technology such as IPL requires numerous pulses of light as well as regular pausing while treating a specific area, which means hair removal takes longer, is uncomfortable and doesn’t give you long lasting results. But thanks to RPL™’s unique sensors, skin continuously reacts…with every single pulse. So you’re sure to get a safer treatment and a more effective way to removed unwanted hair on your body.

What areas of my body can I use sensiLight™ on?

sensiLight™ Mini can be used on legs, arms, underarms, and back and chest for men. You can even use on even the most sensitive bikini line or the delicate skin of your face and neck.

How long after treatment can I go into the sun?

You can go into the sun immediately after. However, one should avoid tanning/ uncontrolled sun exposure for 2 weeks after the device usage (and 4 weeks before). Use of sunscreen is required prior to any sun exposure.

Is it safe to use?
Sensilight devices have been extensively tested against all related safety standards, including eye safety. In addition, there is substantial clinical data and experience with such devices for over 20 years, with no safety issues.

What is the Skin Colour Sensor and other safety features?

sensiLight™ Mini devices have the most advanced double-safety mechanism  sensiLight™ Mini has a built-in Skin Colour Sensor that’s designed to evaluate skin tone allowing it to perform only on suitable skin tones. This unique safety feature will stop treatment if your skin is too dark or too tanned. In addition, sensiLight™ Mini is equipped with a proximity sensor which ensures the light pulses can only be emitted when the device is in contact with skin. This eliminates the possibility of an accidental flash of light directed toward your eyes.

Moreover, the device is tested for eye safety and no glasses are required. However, the bright flash may be uncomfortable. To reduce any discomfort to the eyes during treatment it is recommended to conduct the session in a well illuminated room, as this will reduce the difference felt by the eye between the ambient light and the flash.

Caution: Do not attempt to activate the device directly on the eyes. If flashes are unintentionally delivered in front of the eyes, the temporary dazzle will disappear after a couple of hours.

Can I use the device if I have freckles?  

One should avoid usage directly over freckles. If you have just few freckles you should "work around" the freckles. If you have a high concentration/density of freckles, do not use sensiLight, since this is considered to hyper pigmentation and a high density of melanin.
