Hair reduction treatment with High Intensity Pulsed Light (HIPL)* with GEM** technology Dr. Ezra H. Nuriel - Neutrino   Abstract Active optical systems Ltd encapsulate more than 25 years of experience in the hair removal field. In the year of 2000 the first device based on light energy was introduced to the market. Since then many improvements were devised and installed and today the company manufacturers the Crystal... 

Investigations (Anderson et Al) has clearly demonstrated that a flash of high intensity light penetrated through the epidermis, is absorbed and assimilated in the hair bulbous region, and acts as inhibitor to the hair follicle through temporarily temperature rise and agglutination. The follicle has several parts that interest us. Dermal papilla - The dermal papilla directs and dictates the embryonic generation of... 

There are several types of capillaries. The light pulse treats surface “spider” like capillaries, which are small purple or red veins that stretches like a web near the surface of the skin and or typically discolored clusters. The capillaries get their color due to the existence of clotted RBC (red blood cells). These capillaries are very narrow. Sometimes blood cells are “stuck” in these... 

According to findings by Friedmann and co-workers (1993), low doses of light intensify the formation of a transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient in mitochondria. The process happens upon absorption of mitochondrial chromophores such as cytochromes, which are followed by calcium release from mitochondria into cytoplasm by a calcium/hydrogen antiport system and subsequently triggers mitosis and cell proliferation. Low...
