NO MORE EXPENSIVE SALON LASER TREATMENTS - SAVE THOUSANDS $$$$$YOU CAN BE HAIR FREE AT HOME - FOR MEN AND WOMEN PAIN FREE GENTLE ENOUGH TO EVEN USE ONTHE FACE The Rio Laser Hair Remover targets individual hairs destroying the roots in a 4 second treatment - the same technology as used in expensive salons- 808 nanometer laser - with special safety features for home use The Rio Laser Hair Removal System is designed for home use. You can now enjoy the benefits of permanent hair reduction without paying for expensive salon treatments. Laser hair removal works by sending a laser beam to the hair follicle with enough energy to destroy the root, without it affecting the surrounding area. This process is known as photothermolysis. As with all laser based systems, several treatments are required to completely clear an area of unwanted hair.Advantages of Laser Treatment - permanent hair reduction, no expensive consumables.Product Safety Features - security key to avoid misuse, safe 808nm diverging laser, secure skin contact check, hair targeting light, digital power output control.The Rio Laser Hair Removal System unit and wand comes with a power adapter and full instruction manual. How do lasers work? Lasers deliver an intense beam of light which are made up of a single wavelength or colour. Skin is essentially transparent to light in the wavelength range of 600 - 1100nm (nano meters), while melanin containing structures will absorb laser energy of this wavelength. It is therefore possible to target the hair follicle which has a concentration of melanin without affecting the surrounding area. The light energy absorbed by the melanin pigment results in the rapid heating up of the hair follicle. This heat destroys the cells (papilla) responsible for hair growth. If adequate heating is achieved, then the follicle is permanently disabled resulting in a permanent reduction in hair growth. Suitable Skin Types Melanin in the epidermis also absorbs the energy and limits the depth of penetration of the laser light into the skin. Using a light wavelength of 808nm enables treatment of relatively dark skin as well as fair-skinned types. However, laser hair treatment is not suitable for Afro Caribbean or black skin complexions. Laser treatment is also ineffective in removal of white or grey hair. Electrolysis should be considered as an alternative treatment. As a guide skin colours are classified by the Fitzpatrick skin prototypes. The classification is as follows: Skin Type Skin Colour Tanning History Maximum Power Level I very fair "transparent" always burns, never tans All laser power levels should be suitable II Fair always burns, tans with difficulty III fair to light olive burns mildly, tans slowly IV olive to brown rarely burns, tans with ease Up to level 3 V dark brown very rarely burns, tans very easily NOT suitable for Laser Hair Removal VI Black never burns, tans very easily Why is a series of treatments required? Everyone's hair grows differently, depending on age, weight, metabolism, hormones, ethnicity, medications and other factors. But all hair goes through three distinct growth phases: Active growth phase (called the anagen phase), which lasts between 2 and 7 years. During this phase the dermal papilla actively produces cells which form the hairshaft. In certain areas of the body, such as the scalp, the majority (83%) of the hairs are in this phase. During the anagen phase the hair has an abundance of melanin. Degradation phase (catagen phase), which lasts between 10 and 20 days, during which the hair stops growing but is not yet shed. About 3-4% of our body hair is in this phase at any given time. The hair follicle shrinks at this time as the hair is prepared for eviction. Resting phase (telogen phase), which can last for several months, during which the hair falls out and a new hair begins to form. The hair follicle is not treatable during this time. Laser treatment is only effective when the hair is in the active growth phase. Hairs or hair follicles in the Degradation or Resting phase need to progress to the active phase before treatment will be beneficial. Therefore, multiple treatments are required for long term, permanent hair reduction. Also, in a single treatment, not all of the hair follicles in the active phase will be destroyed. Some follicles are destroyed, others may be miniaturised into vellus hairs (light, fine hairs), and some enter prolonged dormancy. The initial treatment should be repeated to take care of active hair follicles that were not effectively treated in the first session as new hair growth is observed, this will typically be some 2 to 4 weeks later depending on where the treatment area is. Further treatments should be planned at regular intervals to clear hairs that are coming out of the resting phase and into the active growth phase. Given the number of hair follicles in the resting phase at any given time, this new hair re-growth can be significant. Any follicles without a target hair within will simply grow again and can be treated next time round.

Both short term hair growth delay and permanent hair reduction was observed. In addition, when hair regrowth did occur, the hair was thinner and lighter. Harvard Medical School/Laser Center of New York - Effective, Permanent Hair Reduction Using a Pulsed, Diode LaserStudy : 92 patients treated at two seperate facilities, comprising 45 males and 47 females with varying hair colours and skin types. Treatments were made at 0, 1, 3, 6 and 9 months.Conclusion : 89% of patients achieved significant permanent hair reduction in this large, long-term, blind, controlled and quantitative study. Many patients had nearly complete, permaent hair reduction after two treatments. Regrowing hair was typically thinner and lighter in colour, adding to the cosmetic benefit. Jinnah Medical College, Lahore, Pakistan - Laser Hair Removal with an 800 nm Diode LaserStudy : A retrospective study of 1000 women with Fitzpatric Skin Types II and VI.Conclusion : For the 500 women treated on their entire face and neck, apparent hair reduction was estimated to be in the 70% to 80% after five to six treatments. In other areas hair reduction was higher ranging from 80% to 95% with the women achieving satisfactory results within four or five treatments. Japanese Society of Aesthetic Surgery 1999. Lecture presented.Reported on a multicenter clinical trial study involving 150 patients. The study involved six treatments given 1 - 2 months apart with patients being followed for at least six months after the last treatment.Conclusion : 93% of females and 80% of males had significant permanent hair reduction.
