CONTACT COOLING - significantly enhances comfort & safety

The Formax hand piece incorporates a Sapphire light guide which is cooled to extremely low temperatures using a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Due to a highly efficient design, epidermis temperature is maintained at around 5ºC even when treating large areas continuously. This integral skin contact cooling significantly enhances patient safety particularly when treating dark skin patients.

In addition it enhances efficacy since it allows safe use of higher fluences and finally it improves patient comfort since these low temperatures induce an analgesic effect. As practitioners are well aware, patient’s satisfaction in photoepilation is both a function of treatment efficacy as well as comfort during the treatment. Both DPC pulse control and TEC contact cooling allow safe use of higher energy fluences which results in improved treatment efficiency with fewer treatment sessions.

FAQ

• What is the advantage of SharpLight hair Reduction systems?

The advanced SharpLight IPL/DPC technology provides highly effective hair reduction results with low secondary effects and superior patient comfort

• What is IPL/DPC?

This unique SharpLight technology is based on the xenon flash lamp. It incorporates Intensive Pulse Light and the choice of three different pulse configurations (Dynamic Pulse Control): Smooth/ Long/ High pulse for more precise case treatment parameters.

• How do the Hair Reduction hand pieces work?

They are based on the principle of selective photo thermolysis, which means that only the melanin in the hair follicles is targeted, and not the surrounding skin. In addition, wave guide Contact Cooling (0°C) will produce skin analgesia (no pain) and prevent skin burns.

• Why are there three Hair Reduction hand pieces for hair reduction?

Each wave length hand piece is designed to provide specific protocol parameters, depending on skin types and hair types, from first to last treatment.

• How effective is the treatment?

The results can be appreciated after the first treatment session: fewer hairs/cm in the body areas treated; the hair will become thinner and lighter with every session until there is more than 90% hair reduction.

• Is the treatment safe?

The treatment provided by DPC technology and the Contact Cooling is completely safe.

• How frequently should be treatments be performed?

Every 4-6 weeks on the face and every 8 weeks and up on the body. After three sessions the treatment frequency will be adjusted depending on hair growth.

• What is the average number of treatments required to achieve maximum hair reduction?

The average on the face is 8-10 sessions. On the body, for women, around 6-8 sessions and for men, around 10 sessions.

• How well do patients tolerate the treatments?

Patients consistently report that the treatments are very well tolerated and that there is little if any discomfort.

• It is necessary to use analgesic creams prior to the treatment?

No, there is no need to use Lidocaine or similar creams. There is also no need to use cold ultrasound gel during the treatment for cooling purposes.

• Are there any contraindications?

As in any light therapy: suntan, pregnancy, unsupervised major systemic health problems, cancer, skin intolerance, photosensitive medication.

DPC Unique Technology

DPC (Dynamic Pulse Control): a unique technology offering three pulse configurations in one system: Smooth Pulse, Long Pulse and High Pulse.

Laser technology for dermatology use was invented in the mid-70s. It was a technological breakthrough yet limited in many ways. The intense pulsed light technology that was invented in the 90s still could not overcome all of those limitations. After 10 years of research conducted in American Laser Clinics, SharpLight is introducing its unique DPC technology (Dynamic Pulse Control). This proprietary technology maximizes the practitioner’s control of treatment parameters, thus providing a wide range of possibilities to obtain optimal results for all skin types, in most treatment cases, in all treatment stages

Three in one
DPC technology provides three different pulse configurations in one system, delivering maximum results at all treatment stages for all skin types

Laser IPL Photothermolysis Permanent Hair Removal Reduction Limassol Cyprus

Single, consistent peak: ideal for treatment of darker skin types; thick dark hair; textural improvement; big dark vascular and pigmented lesions; moderate acne

Multiple pulses: ideal for treatment of medium skin types; medium thick brown hair; medium vascular and pigmented lesions; mild acne

Multiple high-peak pulses: ideal for light skin types; light thin hair; light vascular and pigmented lesions

DPC Clinical Advantage
Three stages of treatment for maximum results
DPC shortens the number of treatments needed to obtain maximal results.
Case Study: Skin type III, armpit hair reduction treatment

● 30%-40% reduction in number of treatments

● Up to 95% hair reduction

SharpLight’s Formax series is powered by DPC. It offers the possibility to choose, manually or automatically, three different pulse configurations in one aesthetic device: Smooth, Long or High.

With this superior technology, the practitioner is sure to have the highest safety treatment conditions, the most desirable effectiveness and patient comfort.

Differences between IPL & Laser hair reduction treatments:

1. Lasers are single wavelength devices - IPL’s are multiple wavelength devices

The benefit of a multiple wavelength is that it enables the treatment of a wide range of skin and hair types with equal results.

The biggest drawback of Laser devices is that if the device is not matched to your skin and hair type your results will be very unsatisfactory. IPL’s can treat the darker skin types found in Cyprus much more safely.

A further significant advantage of our Formax IPL/DPC device is the Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) technology which is a unique patented technology allowing for the additional configuration of the form of pulse to smooth, long and high. More on DPC technology and its advantages can be found here.

2. Lasers do not distinguish between the hair follicle and the surrounding skin, which is the reason why with Laser treatment skin damage is a commonly reported phenomenon.

The IPL protocol targets only the hair follicle and minimizes damaged to the surrounding skin

3. Lasers use a single treatment beam of light. IPL’s use a large treatment head with a dispersed multi-beam. The Laser’s beam travels only to the same depth, whereas IPL’s beam travels to various depths.

The difference plays a large role in determining the increased levels of possible side effects with Laser against IPL, and also contributes significantly to the increase in pain a patient feels when treated with Laser as opposed to IPL.

4. The amount of patient pain during Laser treatment is one of the major factors as to why patients chose IPL treatments. With the unique contact cooling system of our Formax IPL/DPC device, patients routinely report a painless treatment. The added benefit of this 0°C cooling technology is effect of skin analgesia and the prevent ion of side effects as seen in Laser treatments, such as scarring.

5. Due to the small treatment head size, Laser treatments not only take significantly longer than IPL treatments, but are also substantially more expensive.

6. IPL treatments don’t just eliminate the hair, it also shocks the area where the root grows and welds it shut stopping the blood flow to the hair follicle. Without any blood flow, the hair can no longer grow and permanent hair removal is achieved. Laser treatments, on the other hand, only burn it. The mere burning leaves open the possibility, that future hair growth is possible after the follicle has healed. Indeed, it is also commonly reported that hair re-growth is a widely experienced with Laser treatment.

7. A major contraindication for Laser treatment is tanned skin and also treatment during the summer months. With a location such as Cyprus, with its long summer and beach culture, patients limit their Laser treatments to the off season. The Formax IPL/DPC device comes with EasyMax technology which allows for safe treatment on both tanned skins and during the summer months. In Cyprus, this is a significant reason for choosing treatment with the Formax IPL/DPC device and is one of the significant reasons as to why we have chosen this ground-breaking technology
