Photoepilation, or 'hair removal
using light,' has gained dramatic popularity over the past several
years. Excellent clinical results, as well as low-risk success for many
practices have contributed greatly to the sensation of this amazing
procedure.
While many methods can eliminate unwanted hair, very
few can eliminate hair regrowth while leaving the surrounding skin
undamaged. And photoepilation is quickly becoming the most popular.
Lasers and light sources use the principle of
selective photothermolysis to eliminate hair and its potential regrowth
without damaging the surrounding skin. During a treatment, light passes
through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft. This
absorption raises the temperature of the hair follicle and thermally
destroys the cells responsible for regrowth. The attributes of the light
(wavelength, pulse duration and power) are chosen to ensure damage to
these cells and not the rest of the skin.
Why Sonata™/Harmony™ are good
choices?
Both Sonata and Harmony™ provide physicians with
safe and effective methods of delivering to their patients predictable,
reliable and reproducible photoepilation results, including :
Effecting stable long-term or permanent hair reduction.
Use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.
The ability to treat nearly any hair color, from blond to black,
as well as most terminal hair textures, from coarse to fine.
The ability to treat hairs on all parts of the body including
anywhere on the face, the bikini line, legs, underarms or a man's
back.
Causing minimal patient discomfort or side effects.
What should I choose, Sonata™ or
Harmony™?
Although very different technologies, both systems
provide the wavelengths, fluences and pulse widths necessary to produce
safe and effective photoeilation results for any practice. Both systems
are compact, portable and easy to use, and both come with Alma Lasers™'
depot service guarantee.
Harmony™ is a multi-application system. For
practices that wish to start with multiple applications, or intend to
upgrade the system as their practice grows, the system would not be used
full-time for any one application.
For practices that have developed or wish to develop a
high-volume hair removal practice, the Sonata
delivers gold-standard performance and proven reliability. It also has
integrated cooling for added safety and patient comfort.
