The EpiLight is a non-invasive system using a pulsed light to damage hair follicles to impede hair growth. The EpiLight has a light filtering system allowing for treatment of all areas of the body where hair grows regardless of the depth at which the hair resides. The EpiLight treats most hair colors and most skin types.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the goals of the procedure?

Long term impediment of hair regrowth in treated areas.

What is the typical EpiLight treatment plan?

Each patient's first appointment is for evaluation and test patches to determine their individual treatment parameters. Each additional appointment for treatment lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the area of the body being treated. Appointments are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to allow the hairs to cycle into the correct phase for treatment.

What can I expect after each treatment?

Many patients have areas of redness and slight swelling around the base of each hair. This usually subsides in 4-6 hours. Treated hairs will begin to fall out 2-3 weeks after each treatment.
