Long-Lasting Hair Removal Method With The Homelight Epilator - BaByliss G940E Mode D'emploi

This epilation procedure produces a pulsed light that absorbed by the melanin (the hair's pigment), is
carried to the bulb and transformed into heat. This thermal eff ect painlessly destroys the hair and roots
and prevents regrowth. This scientifi cally proven technology gives quick and lasting results.
The BaByliss Homelight epilator off ers a safe and long-lasting epilation in the privacy and
comfort of your own home.

5.1. Long-lasting hair removal method with the Homelight epilator

The Homelight epilator is a personal long-lasting photo-epilation device. The photo-epilation
procedure is well known and has been mastered. It has been subjected to over 15 years of clinical
testing around the world for more than 15 years and has proven its eff ectiveness and its safety in
off ering gradual but long-lasting hair removal.
How does the light eliminate hair?
Photo-epilation is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis which uses optical energy to
stop the growth of the hair. To obtain such thermal eff ects, the root of the hair must selectively absorb
the light energy and transform it into heat. This selection is produced when most of the optical energy
emitted is absorbed by the pigment of the bulb, while the surrounding skin and tissue remain cold.
Melanin is the pigment found in the hair, which allows the absorption of the light, to transform it into
heat in order to stop the hair growth. Also, the more melanin in the hair (i.e., the darker the hair), the
more light it can absorb and the more effi cient photo-epilation becomes.
