Manufacturer Description:

Epila is a 808 nanometer (nm) wavelength diode laser hair remover designed to be used in the comfort of your own home. The 808 nanometer (nm) wavelength is currently being used by clinics worldwide for permanent hair removal. making it safe for in-home use. It�s simple to use, 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 pigmented skin types. On average, one session treating an entire leg should take less than an hour and should be painless, but if you experience discomfort, you can switch to a lower setting. 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 included with Epila. Read more
