Variable Pulsed Light - Permanent Hair Reduction

Energist VPL is the latest advance in pioneering ‘Variable Pulsed Light’ technology. This quick, effective and safe treatment offers an unsurpassed long-lasting hair removal solution. Energist VPL has been clinically proven to remove hair from all parts of the face and body. The variable settings mean it can be tailored for each client and all areas, from thicker bikini hair to finer facial hair.

How it works

Energist VPL uses short, safe, controlled pulses of filtered light to remove unwanted hair quickly and effectively. Pulses of red light are absorbed by melanin, the pigment found in hair. This absorption process produces heat, which travels down the hair, affecting the follicle’s ability to regenerate. Hundreds of hair follicles are treated with each pulse, making Energist VPL a fast and effective way to treat unwanted hair. The hairs treated will fall out naturally over a period of one to three weeks, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth.

Due to the growth stages that all hair goes through, several treatments may be required to help prevent hair growth in the treatment area.

All hair growth cycles are slightly different and some women, at a mature stage in their life, will sometimes find that some small hairs will appear gradually over time due to increased hormone activity. View Hair removal treatment diagram here

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What areas can be treated?

A. Energist VPL is very effective at removing hair from all over the face and neck and from the underarms, legs, bikini line, chest, arms and back. Long lasting results are achievable for both men and women with Energist VPL.

Q. What hairs can’t be treated?

A. Only hairs in the active growth stage can be treated which is why a course of treatments will achieve the best results. Your therapist will explain the different stages of hair growth during your consultation. Blonde and vellus hairs can be more difficult to treat and therefore it may take longer to see results. Your therapist will advise you on the best course of treatments.

Q. Are there any side effects?

A. Due to the personalised treatment settings determined by your therapist during consultation, most people don’t experience any side effects. A slight reddening of the skin can occur immediately after your treatment which is an indication of an effective treatment and will fade very quickly.

Q. How many treatments are required?

A. In most cases noticeable results are achieved after just three treatments, however your therapist will advise you on the best course of treatments for you during your consultation. The number of treatments you will need will be determined by the thickness and colour of your hair, the area to be treated and the hair’s growth cycle. All hair growth cycles are slightly different and some women, at a mature stage in their life, will sometimes find that some small hairs will appear gradually over time due to increased hormonal activity.

Q. What should I do after treatment?

A. In the days following treatment hairs will still be in place, however, they will slowly be released from the follicle. There is no need to pull or pluck the hairs as they will fall out naturally over a period of one to three weeks after receiving your treatment. We recommend you use a sunscreen for a few weeks following treatment and avoid tanning beds or sunbathing for one month.

Q. Can this system be used with other therapies?

A. Yes clients often have other treatments around the same time as having an Energist VPL treatment. Always advise your therapist during your consultation about any other treatments you have recently received or are planning to have.
