FAQ
How does the Adena remove blonde, red, grey and white hair?
The wave lengths used in standard IPL targets the melanin in the hair. Since grey, red, white and blonde hair has no melanin, IPL doesn’t work. However, the Adena has a separate head for this type of hair that targets the hemoglobin or blood source of the hair instead of the melanin. Since waxing causes a microscopic injury to the skin or blood in the follicle, we wax the area to be treated beforehand for a more successful treatment.
What do I need to do before a treatment?
Firstly visit one of our clinic for a consultation on your needs. If you have been shaving allow the hair to grow a couple of days so we can see what we will be treating. If you have been waxing, you will need to wait 4-6 weeks until the hair has regrown. Do not sunbathe, sunbed, spray tan or fake tan for 2 weeks prior to your treatment as tanning of any sort can lead to superficial burning. Avoid perfumes or any alcohol based treatments on the area to be treated and inform your therapist if you are on any form of acne medication or topical vitamin A. Shave the day before your treatment. If it’s your first time it’s best to leave a small area so we can see the hair growth and colour. For those with blonde/grey/red hair, we need to wax you first. So come in only when your hair is long enough for us to wax.
What do I do after a treatment?
No sun tanning or sun beds for 2 weeks after your treatment. Sun tanning can result in irregular pigmentation occurring in the treated areas. Apply topical after calming Gel on the areas to reduce any irritation. Always apply good quality SPF 30+ daily to avoid irregular pigmentation issues.
How many sessions are required?
The Adena IPL can only treat hair 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 and several (an average of 8) sessions may be needed. After that, only one or two annual maintenance sessions are recommended.
What area 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 IPL is the only machine in the world that also removes fine, white, blonde, grey and red 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 concentration 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 visible effects. Therefore, the treatment does not interfere with normal activities. Hair is detached from its nourishment but it still remains in its sheath during the renewal of the epidermis (peeling). A light exfoliation 10 to 15 days after the session can speed up the rate at which the hair falls out.
Why choose IPL hair removal?
IPL hair removal is a great option for long-term and large area removal and recommended by health professionals the world over. You’ll also need a minimum of 6 treatments. This is because each of the hairs on your body goes through three stages in its lifecycle, and you can only neutralise a hair in the active phase. At any one time only a maximum of 20% of the hairs on your body are in that phase, which is why you need at least 6 treatments. Once you’ve completed the treatment cycle you can look forward to a lifetime of smooth skin with only an occasional maintenance treatment. Compare that to the cost of a lifetime of waxing.
Can all hair be treated?
IPL’s unique design offers you customised treatments according to your hair colour, texture and body location. Any hair (black, brown, red, grey, white and even blonde) can be treated effectively. The new patented technology is specifically designed for the Adena IPL.
