• Overview

  
  

  Energist VPL™ has been clinically proven to reduce hair from all parts of the face and body. The variable settings mean it can be tailored for each client and all areas, from thicker bikini hair to finer facial hair.

• How it Works

  
  

  Energist VPL™ uses short, safe, controlled pulses of filtered light to remove unwanted hair quickly and effectively. Pulses of red light are aborbed by melanin, the pigment found in hair. This absorption process produces heat, which travels down the hair, affecting the follicle's ability to regenerate. Hundreds of hair follicles are treated with each pulse, making Energist VPL™ a fast and effective way to treat unwanted hair.

  
  How it Works Diagram

• Your Consultation

  
  

  You will receive a full consultation with a fully trained therapist who will assess your stability for the treatment and answer any questions you may have. Your therapist will advise you on the best course of treatment; this will depend on your skin type, the area to be treated and the colour of your hair. After you consultation your therapist will perform a test patch on your skin before progressing with the treatment.

• Your Treatment

  
  

  The hair in the treatment area will be trimmed and a cooling gel applied to ensure that the light energy is used to achieve the best result. The Energist VPL™ applicator will be placed onto your skin and flashed in a series of shots to treat the area.

  
  

  Immediately after the treatment your skin may appear a little more pink than usual, but this will fade quickly. The hairs treated will fall out naturally over a period of one to three weeks, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth.

• Frequently Asked Questions

  
  

  What Areas Can be Treated?

  Energist VPL™ is very effective at removing hair from the all over the face and neck, and from the underarms, legs, bikini line, chest, arms and back. Long lasting results are achievable for both men and women with Energist VPL™

  
  

  What Hairs Can't be Treated?

  Only hairs in the active growth stage can be treated which is why a course of treatments will achieve the best results. Blonde and vellus hairs can be more difficult to treat and therefore it may take longer to see results.

  More Frequently Asked Questions

  
  

  Are There Any Side-Effects?

  Due to the personalised treatment settings determined by your therapist during consultation, you should not experience any side-effects. A slight reddening of the skin can occur immediately after your treatment, this is an indication of an effective treatment and will fade very quickly.

  
  

  How Many Treatments are Required?

  In most cases noticeable results are achieved after just three treatments, however your therapist will advise you on the best course of treatments for you during your consultation. The number of treatments you will need will be determined by the thickness and colour of your hair, the area to be treated and the hair’s growth cycle. All hair growth cycles are slightly different and some women, at a mature stage in their life, will sometimes find that some small hairs will appear gradually over time due to increased hormonal activity.

  
  

  What Should I Do After Treatment?

  In the days following treatment hairs will still be in place, however, they will slowly be released from the follicle. There is no need to pull or pluck the hairs, they will fall out naturally over a period of one to three weeks after receiving your treatment.

  
  

  Can This System Be Used With Other Therapies?

  Yes, clients often have other treatments around the same time as having an Energist VPL™ treatment. Always advise your therapist during your consultation about any other treatments you have recently received or are planning to have.
