• Suitable for all areas (besides directly around the eyes)

• Safe on all skin types, even on slightly tanned skin

• Effective on all colors of hair (besides red and grey)

• Treatments possible all the year long

• No consumables!

THE EPILAB Features

Epilation with EpiLab means…

TEL 100 0713 EN 7

• 810 nm: long term proved wavelength for hair removal, high absorption in Melanin (80% of diodes)

• 940 nm: higher absorption in oxyhemoglobine, coagulation of micro–vessels feeding roots (20% of diodes)

• The combination of both wavelength is most suitable for hair removal applications on all skin types

A perfect combination of wavelenghts

THE EPILAB Features

TEL 100 0713 EN 8

A perfect combination of wavelenghts

HIGH ABSORPTION in (Eu)melanin:

By absorption of the laser light the hair is heated and the cells in the surrounding, which are responsible for hair regrowth are damaged. (Cooling of Epidermis necessary, especially for dark skin, which also contains melanin!!)

LOWER ABSORPTION in blood and water:

The blood and the skin (which contains water) absorb only a little bit of light and are therefore not much heated. That‘s why the risk of side effects is low.

Homogenity of the laser spot

TAPER technology magnification of writing without distortion shows homogenity

• Optimized profile generated by quartz fiber bundle (TAPER technology) • Sapphire coated (to prevent in-burn of particles) • Square shaped beam (no gaps between spots, no overlap) • Most homogeneous beam profiles • Flat top profile – same Fluence all over the spot (no ‚hot spots‘) • Fiber bundle tapers unique on the market for optimal light delivery • No energy losses

• Contact skin cooling by cold metal probe • Pre-cooling of epidermis (move handpiece in direction to cold metal probe) • Aluminum has 8 times better cooling effect compared to Sapphire (used by others for

skin cooling) • Immediate readiness after switch - on • Smallest volume • Peltier elements in handpiece

Skin temperature Double Pulse

Skin temperature single pulse

Epidermis Double Pulse

Epidermis single pulse

Time

Temp.

Rise in temperature is dependent on Melanin content of the hair and of the Epidermis. The cold metal probe of the handpiece cools especially the Epidermis.

THE EPILAB Features

Double Pulse technology

TEL 100 0713 EN 12

BASIC-Mode/ For standard treatments, easy and fast • To set: FLUENCE (energy density) and SPEED • In this mode always double pulse with shortest • possible pulse duration (automatic) • Normally 1 pass per area and session PROFFESSIONAL-Mode/ For individual treatments • To set FLUENCE, SPEED and TIME (pulse duration) • In this mode you can choose between double pulse (safer) and single

pulse (more effective for thin hair) • Normally 1 pass per area and session SMOOTHPULSE-Mode/ Fast, effective and more pleasant for larger areas • To set: low FLUENCE and high SPEED (up to 12Hz and 12 J/cm²) • In this mode always single pulse with shortest

possible pulse duration (automatically) • Multiple passes per area and session are necessary !!

BULGE

HAIR BULB

The skin structures, which are responsible for hair growth are:

• Bulge: Germinative follicle cells of the outer root sheath

• Hair Bulb:

Matrix cells contain Melanin

THE EPILAB Applications

Anatomy of the Hair

TEL 100 0713 EN 14

1. Epidermis 2. Infundibulum 3. Sebaceous gland 4. M. arrector pili 5. Hair shaft 6, Matrix cells 7. Capilliary 8. Follicular papilla

• Hair is sensitive to laser treatment in the Anagen phase only

• In human beings the hair cycle is NOT synchronized – different hair follicles are in different phases -> multiple treatments are necessary

THE EPILAB Applications

Hair growth cycle

TEL 100 0713 EN 15

Hair growth cycle

• Rate of hair growth depends on the mitotic activity in the bulb, which is controlled by the bulge

• Cycle durations differ in various anatomical locations
