Hair Removal
Hair removal is the most popular light-based aesthetic procedure in the world,
and intense pulsed light is by far the most popular method of performing
photoepilation. Using an HR AFT handpiece, HarmonyXL can deliver fast, effective
results for permanent hair reduction on all skin types, including tanned skin.
How it worksn AFT hair removal, a large rectangular pulse of broad-spectrum light is applied
to the surface of the skin. The energy travels harmlessly through the epidermis
and dermis until it strikes the hair follicle, which contains a dense,
melanin-rich hair shaft and bulb.
The dark-colored melanin absorbs the light and briefly spikes in temperature,
destroying the hair-producing cells surrounding the follicle. Because the heat
is not sustained, however, no damage occurs outside the follicle area.
TechnologyAdvanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT™)
Use AFT for skin rejuvenation, vascular and pigmented lesions, hair removal and
treatment of active acne.
AFT is the next generation of multi-application pulsed light technology. Its
breakthrough design converts unused UV light into the optimal spectrum for each
application.
This dramatic boost in efficiency also extends the life of the pulsed light
handpiece (up to three times longer than that of other pulsed light systems),
which significantly lowers the cost of ownership.
Precision heatingThe unique shape of each AFT pulse limits peak power to only the therapeutic
range, which precisely heats its intended target with remarkably little or no
skin damage or discomfort. An advanced algorithm stabilizes each pulse to ensure
predictable, reproducible treatments that are safe and effective.
Specific targeting
 |
AFT spectra precisely target unwanted blood vessels and melanin, while it gently
preserves surrounding tissue to leave skin soft and smooth. AFT users report
progressive improvement over several treatments and outstanding results.
Patients often claim to look naturally younger and healthier, without the
artificial look of other cosmetic treatments. |
