Venus Epileve provides effective, fast and comfortable laser hair removal for the face and body.
The Venus Epileve uses a diode laser to target hair follicles in the anagen (growth phase of the hair cycle).
Once the laser’s energy reaches a hair it is absorbed by the melanin that surrounds it. This destroys the follicle so that the hair cannot grow anymore but doesn’t harm the skin tissue surrounding it.
Why
A Venus Epileve laser hair removal treatment is ideal for anyone who want to permanently reduce unwanted hair, including ‘fuzz’, on their face or body.
Procedure
During a Venus Epileve hair removal treatment, your treatment provider will move the applicator over the targeted areas.
Once the treatment starts, you’ll feel some heat in the area, but this will only last a short time thanks to the real-time cooling system that minimise discomfort.
If your treatment provider uses ‘Pulse’ mode, which delivers higher energy at a lower repetition rate, each pulse will feel like a light snap of an elastic band against your skin.
If they use ‘Slide’ mode, which delivers a high repetition rate of short pulses, it will feel like a series of light snaps as the technician glides the applicator continuously across the treatment area.
If the treatment feels too uncomfortable, your provider can adjust the settings.
Risks & Complications
The Venus Epileve treatment is safe for all skin types but for safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have:
- Previous problems with laser therapy
- A history of keloid scarring
- Active infection or history of herpes simplex in the treatment area
- Used depilatories or other hair removal treatments, such as waxing, plucking, or electrolysis, within 6 weeks prior to treatment
