2 Degradation phase (catagen phase)
Hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the hair sheds.
3 Resting phase (telogen phase)
The old hair separates from its hair follicle and sheds. The follicle
remains at rest until the biological clock tells it to become active again
and grow a new hair.
Working principle
The appliance works by heating up the hair and root beneath the skin.
The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the released light pulses.
The darker the colour of the hair, the more light can be absorbed.
This process stimulates the hair to go into the resting phase.
The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth is inhibited. Hairs can
take one or two weeks to shed. Optimal hair removal cannot be obtained
with a single session, since only hairs in the growing phase are susceptible
to treatment with light. During a treatment, hairs on the treated area are
usually in different stages of the hair growth cycle. To effectively treat all
hairs you have to repeat the treatment every two weeks for a few times.
An integrated optical filter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin
and guarantees that the appliance is safe for the skin.
What effect can you expect after treatment?
- After you have treated the hairs every two weeks two to four times
(depending on your skin/hair type and the intensity setting), you notice
that hair growth decreases and that the hairs that grow back are softer.
- After you have treated the hairs six to eight times (depending on your
skin/hair type and the intensity setting), you notice that most of the
hairs do not return.
- After you have treated the hairs eight times, continue to use the Lumea
Plus for men to maintain a smooth skin. For more information, see
section 'Maintenance phase' in chapter 'Using the appliance'.
- If you stop using the Lumea Plus for men, the hairs start to regrow
after some time.
