Epila is an 808 nanometer (nm) wavelength diode laser device designed to be used by the end user. Epila conforms with the health and safety requirements set out in International directives and is CE Certified making it safe to use at home. The 808 nm wavelength is currently being used throughout clinics worldwide for permanent hair removal. This technology has been proven to have effectiveness for permanent hair removal by leading research institutes and universities.

It’s simple to use Epila, power the device and start moving it over the desired treatment area. As Epila is moved over the skin, it emits light energy that is absorbed by the melanin pigment, resulting in rapid heating of the hair follicle. The heat destroys the papillae (hair follicles) that are responsible for hair growth. Epila uses a diode laser which has a longer wavelength than other lasers used for hair removal, which means will even work on darker, more pigmeneted skin types. On average one session treating an entire leg should take less than an hour.

Over the next two months, hairs gradually falls out and should never re-grow. For most people, the pain - similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin - is quite tolerable. Epila even allows you to adjust the laser intensity (Low, Medium, High) to make possible discomfort more tolerable if you’re more sensitive.

Since the area treated will be extremely sensitive for a few days, it is wise to wear both protective clothing and sun block whenever you're outside. In addition, plan to limit your sun exposure for a day or two after the treatment, as you can expect some slight swelling and redness. These side effects should disappear within a day and can be soothed with an ice-pack. |
