Wavelength
The wavelength should be selected based on the
objective to hit and to its depth in the skin.

The selective photothermolysis
Fluence
The fluence expresses the light energy delivered to each cm2 of skin. Is enough
to damage the target, but not excessively, to keep the skin intact.

Pulse width: < TRT
The pulse duration must be less than the time required to cool the target, after
it has overheated (TRT). In this way overheating is limited only to the target.
Pulse Mode
The issue Pulse Mode allows you to accumulate sufficient heat to the level of
the objective, reducing the overheating of the surrounding tissues, especially
on tanned skin

Procedure for hair removal with Multi Variant Pulsed Light
(MVPL)
The melanin of the stem, that is the central part of the hair, absorbs the light
irradizone IPL which produces heat. Because of the heat treatment, the adjacent
cells, responsible for the genesis and growth of the hair, are damaged
permanently.
The heat needed to be carefully managed to selectively target the bulb without
damaging the skin.
Procedure for hair removal with Multi Variant Pulsed Light
(MVPL):
You need more than one treatment to get the reduction you want. Only the hair in
the growth phase (Anagen) is in contact with the papilla of the hair, the part
of the bulb responsible growth; accordingly, the bulb may be damaged permanently
only during this phase. A number of different treatments must be performed
according to the area.
Hair removal:
Wavelengths for hair removal
According to the color of the skin (and therefore on the basis of different degrees of melanin content) it is advisable to use different wavelengths. In particular: - For people with blond or red hair, a wider spectrum of emission wavelengths of 560 nm. for subjects with hair brown or blacks, it is sufficient that one spectrum emission part by a wavelengths of 640 nm up to 1200nm.

Photorejuvenation treatment
The treatment consists of radiation of the surface discoloration of the skin and deeper with wavelengths and pulse a structure appropriate to obtain a consistent improvement in skin texture and pigmentation.

MVPL pigmented lesions treatment
The wavelengths 560 nm should be used to heat the benign pigmented lesions such as freckles. The new software selects all of our IPL parameters to perform the removal of the pigment with the maximum safety and effectiveness.
