PHASER EPL Phaser EPL is the biggest innovation in hair years. It offers a clinically proven, fast, safe and effective method for removing hair, leaving you with smooth skin every day, so no more waxing or shaving.
“I had Phaser EPL hair removal treatment two years ago and have not had to wax or shave my legs since, it is fantastic�. Mellissa Cosworth, Swansea
HOW IT WORKS Phaser EPL delivers pulses of light into the skin absorb in the melanin pigment in the hair follicle and the vascular network that feeds the germ cells located in the bulge. The light energy heats the pigment and effectively disables the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. Once treated, the hairs will gradually slip out over the next seven to ten days leaving the skin smooth and hair free. It is important to note that IPL hair removal is effective in removing hairs which are in the growing (Anagen) phase. Follicles in the second phase (Catagen) and third phase (Telagen) will not be affected since the dermal papilla is not yet attached to the follicle itself. As a result additional treatments will be required once the dormant hairs reach the Anagen phase.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is It Painful? the skin. Comfort levels can be improved by cooling the skin before and after treatment. Mild redness may occur on the treated area but this will only last for a short period of time.
How Much Does It Cost? Treatment cost depends on the areas treated and number of treatments required. Over time compared to a lifetime of waxing treatment, Phaser EPL hair removal can be more cost effective and certainly achieves faster and more permanent results.
How Long Does It Last? Phaser EPL offers the latest technology in IPL hair removal. Clinical studies have proven that IPL technology is effective in permanently reducing hair growth. It is a gradual process but once the hair follicle has been treated it should not regrow.
Is It Suitable For Everyone? Laser or IPL hair removal is not suitable for everyone. Those with darker skin types have a higher risk of pigmentation due to the higher melanin content of the skin. You should avoid sunlight on the treated area for a period of time before and after treatment.
How Many Treatments Are Required? Research indicates that between 20% and 30% of hairs are in the Anagen stage at any one time. As a result multiple treatments are required. The actual number varies between individuals but our experience indicates that

THE TECHNOLOGY Smartlite™ Technology Smartlite™ technology is a unique feature, setting new standards in IPL technology and developed exclusively for the Phaser range of products. Smartlite™ produces high levels of light energy that can be used effectively for the treatment of unwanted hair, skin rejuvenation and active acne. This unique technology uses a combination of which increases transmission of light energy into Proven Treatment Process Our past hair removal experience with lasers and IPL has clearly demonstrated it is important to destroy both the germ cell (bulge) and hair root (bulb). Smartlite™ delivers a combination of yellow and red light combined with DPT (Dual Phase Technology) to destroy both results.
Dual Phase Technology Phaser EPL has a unique Dual Phase Pulse which is designed to provide destruction of both the bulge and the bulb for ultimate hair removal results. The primary phase is a fast rise sculptured pulse allowing 50% of the energy to be transferred to tissue in the optimum time interval to focus on a of the bulge. This effect is essential for the rapid rise in energy is also extremely effective for the treatment of unwanted pigmentation when used with the appropriate hand piece. The secondary phase of the pulse is an extended tail of energy to enhance the thermal increase in the hair bulb, without increasing the temperature of the epidermis. This enables the coarser and more stubborn Phaser EPL also uses a rapid rise 5ms pulse treatment of pigmented lesions the long pulse at 40ms is ideally suited for salon treatments on dark skin types and improved vascular lesions.

Phaser EPL has been designed for treating a wide range of conditions including hair removal, skin rejuvenation, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions. Each system is delivered with a Universal Smartlite™ DPT hand piece. The combination of yellow and red light is not only effective for hair removal but is also useful in the reduction of pigmented and vascular lesions.
Ease Of Use Phaser EPL has been designed with a user friendly interface, pre-programmed default settings and the capacity for program upgrades. It also allows for direct energy control. The ergonomic and lightweight hand pieces offer both comfort (thus reducing user fatigue) and excellent visibility for the operator while carrying out treatments. Speed With a large spot size, fast repetition rate and no requirement for coupling gel, the Phaser EPL is one of the fastest IPL systems in the world.

Photo Rejuvenation Photo rejuvenation is a treatment applied to the face, hands and decolletage improving the overall appearance. Smartlite™ technology is ideally suited to this application, and excellent results can be achieved. The yellow light targets blood vessels causing them to coagulate and collapse, the red light targets unwanted pigmentation, while the combined effect of both red and yellow light stimulates collagen production. A course of 4 to 6 treatments is recommended
