It works along the same principles as electrolysis, except without the pain. Red light selectively damages the actively growing hair follicles causing their death. After a number of repeat sessions, almost all of the hair will be permanently removed for ever. A cold gel is applied to the skin surface above the hair to be treated. The Plasmalite is then applied.
Most people feel nothing at all, while some feel a slight 'nip' sensation.
The overall feeling is so light that the Plasmalite may be used on any part of the body. There is no change to the skin colour or texture, no reddening or blistering. In fact, it is usually impossible to see any signs of the treatment at all. Remember it is only light that is entering the skin - no needles or chemicals. Hair grows in cycles.
