Technology
Light Based Hair Removal
The process of laser and light-based hair removal is well known and established. It has been proven in clinical use around the world for over 15 years as a safe and effective way to achieve long-term hair removal.
Light-based hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis in which optical energy is used to disable hair growth. In order to achieve such thermal effect, the hair shaft needs to selectively absorb light energy and transform it into heat. This selectivity is achieved when high optical energy that is delivered to the tissue is mostly absorbed by hair shaft pigment, while the epidermis and the surrounding tissue is actively cooled (by a cooling mechanism). Melanin is the pigment in the hair shaft that is responsible for the absorption of the light, which generates the heat that eventually disables hair growth. When hair growth is disabled, long-term hair removal is achieved.
Home Pulsed Light™ (HPL)
Silk'n SensEpil is a personal combined-energy based device for long-term hair removal. The Silk'n SensEpil is based on Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology which is a proprietary and patented technology of Home Skinovations Ltd. Epilation with Home Skinovations' proprietary HPL technology is enhanced by a unique acoustic effect that improves the normal process of photoepilation, enabling long term epilation with low level of optical energy without the need to cool the skin.
Hair Growth Cycle
Every hair in our body goes through the three phases of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. These phases have an important impact on how the process of light-based hair removal works.
Anagen is the hair growth phase while Catagen and Telogen, are both resting phases.
The time it takes to complete a full hair growth cycle varies from person to person and the location of the hair on the body, but is typically 18-24 months. At any given moment the majority of the hair follicles in any skin area are in the resting stages. These resting hairs cannot be effected by laser or light hair removal treatment However hairs in the growing Anagen phase will respond. It is therefore important to understand that it may take a full hair growth cycle to achieve complete results when doing any energy based hair removal.
Most people start to see noticeable results after four treatments, and great results after six treatments. Maintenance treatment are common after eight treatments to treat stray hairs that may have been in telogen or catagen phase or to treat patches of hairs that were missed in initial treatment,
Questions

Silk׳n SensEpil is effective for the treatment of facial hair
In a two-year multi-center clinical study Silk'n SensEpil has been proven safe and effective for the treatment of facial hair. Silk’n SensEpil can be used for treating facial hair from the cheek line downwards. Extra caution should be made to avoid the eyes.
Sun Protection Is important
Extra care should be taken to avoid sun exposure before and after treatments with Silk’n SensEpil. Acceptable means of sun protection are covering garments or sunscreen (SPF higher than 50) used continuously for 3 weeks before and after treatment.
Do not use Silk׳n SensEpil on naturally dark skin complexion
Silk׳n SensEpil removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in a particular person’s skin, or your skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are exposed to using Silk׳n SensEpil hair removal device.
Consequently treating dark skin with Silk׳n SensEpil and any other hair removal device, can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (pigmentation changes).
Clinical Studies
The HPL technology behind the Silk’n, Silk’n SensEpil and BellaLite hair removal device, has been the subject of multiple, on-going clinical studies by physicians around the world. To date the following studies have been published in top level, peer-reviewed medical journals:
Effect of a Novel Low-Energy Pulsed-Light Device for Home-Use Hair Removal
- Dermatological Surgery -
Alster, S. Tina, MD, and Tanzi, L. Elizabeth, MD
“The Silk'n device was able to produce hair clearance results that rival those of the in office high fluence, “ big box” devices. The Silk'n device has proven to be not only effective, but safe and relatively painless....”
Silk'n - 'A novel device using Home Pulsed Light™ for hair removal at home'
- Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy -
Mulholland, R. Stephen, MD (2009)
"We have demonstrated in a large, randomized, blinded study the clinical efficacy and safety of the Silk’n hair removal device. The Silk’n device was able to produce hair clearance results that rival those of the in office, highfluence, ‘big box’ devices achieved in an axilla. In all, 95% of study participants experienced hair clearance 3 months after the third treatment."
Silk'n - 'A novel device using Home Pulsed Light™ for the removal of facial hair at home
Shaoul, James, MD, and Mulholland, R. Stephen, MD (2010)
"The Silk’n SensEpil system is an affordable, lightweight, and portable device that shows clinically effectiveness on facial hairs. Results are proven for long term removal of facial hairs in the upper lip and chin. There are 95.2% of study subjects that experienced hair reduction at the follow up session."
