FAQ
What is Square Pulse Light (SPL) Hair Reduction?
Patented in France and invented by doctors and scientists this advanced and computerised salon device filters out harmful ultraviolet light and infra-red wavelengths ensuring a safe progressive hair removal system. When SPL is combined with our large spot size, treatments are fast, safe, virtually painless and cheaper than waxing.
How does it work & What makes it different from other IPL?
During traditional IPL hair removal procedures, the energy from high intensity flashes of light is absorbed by the chromophore melanin, which is responsible for hair pigment or colour. Dark hair, which is rich in melanin, readily absorbs this light and transfers it as heat into the surrounding capillaries, which supply blood to growing hairs. When the blood vessels are destroyed in high temperatures, additional hair growth is prohibited. Adena is unique in that it does not rely on the hair pigment to absorb the light energy, meaning it can effectively target those hair shades not so rich in melanin. Instead, with a special treatment applicator Adena targets the blood vessels directly, preventing the growth of Blonde, grey, white and red hairs.
How many sessions are required?
The Adena™ can only treat hairs in the growth phase. Approximately 20% of all hairs are in their growth phase at any one time. Certain “resting” hairs can also become active due to age and hormonal modifications. Other factors include hair colour and thickness. Everyone is different usually between 4-8 sessions are needed. After that, only one or two annual maintenance sessions are recommended.
Does it give permanent results?
Yes! Most hair will not grow back at all whilst other hair may grow back thinner and lighter. The Adena™ is the hair management system preferred by over 2000 salons and clinics worldwide. It is virtually painless and provides lifetime results. You will wonder why you waited!
What areas and skin types can be treated?
Any areas of the face and body can be treated with pulse light. The darker the hair the richer in melanin and the better the result. The Adena™ is the only machine in the world that also removes fine, blonde, white, red and grey hair.
Does it hurt?
For most people there is virtually no pain. The feeling of the treatment is extremely variable from one person to another, it depends on the concerntration of melanin in the skin and the size and density of the hair.
What should I expect after treatment?
In most cases, there are no visable effects. Therefore the treatment does not interfere with normal activities. Redness could appear on the skin indicating successful treatment. Hair is detached from its nourishment but it still remains in its sheath during the renewal of the epidermis (peeling). A light exfolaition 10 to 15 days after the session can speed up the rate at which the hair falls out.
Can all hair be treated?
IPL's unique design offers you customised treatments according to your hair colour, texture and body location. Any (black, brown, red, grey, white and even blonde) can be treated effectively. The new patented technology is specially designed for the Adena
