Photoepilation

The SpectraClear System features proprietary LHE™ (Light and Heat Energy), technology based on the principle of selective photothermolysis. Specific amounts of light and thermal energy target and heat the melanin in the hair follicles and ultimately disable the hair bulb. The key to achieving permanent hair reduction is to disable the hair bulb without damaging surrounding skin, which is the hallmark of SpectraClear System.

The pulsed light is proprietarily filtered to a desired spectrum wavelength which targets the chromophore melanin in the hair shaft and maximizes the transfer of the LHE energy only to the hair shaft; the shaft then acts as a heat sink allowing the LHE energy to travel down the shaft to enter, disable and destroy the hair bulge and bulb.

The Science Behind the Laser

While all light based and laser devices use only the light energy (blocking the heat), the SpectraClear® uses its patented LHE™ technology combining Light and Heat to coagulate the hair follicle. About 85% of the coagulation is done by heat while the remaining 15% is done by light. To penetrate the hair follicle and coagulate the bulb, the SpectraClear® optimizes the following three parameters: wavelength, spot size and pulse duration.

The hair follicle can only be destroyed while it is in the anagen phase of growth (still growing). Only about 10%-30% of your hair is in this stage at any given time. So while you get to see results after the first treatment, it usually takes 4 -10 treatments to get the results you want by destroying the follicle while it is in the anagen phase. This results in Permanent Hair Removal.
