Permanent Hair Reduction with Cutera ProWave 770.
Chrysalis Skin Technology offers the Cutera Prowave 770 Intense Pulsed Light system. The Prowave hair removal system delivers a specially tailored light source for permanent hair reduction. Cutera’s newest hair removal innovation provides treatment for a wide range of skin types. An additional patient benefit is the ability of the handpiece to treat large areas such as women’s legs and men’s backs – quickly and safely.
Prowave can remove hair from all parts of the body including the face, legs, arms, underarms and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like the chest, nipples and bikini line.
When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required; however, some patients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.
Most areas required 3 – 6 treatments. However, the number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors – hair thickness, the area treated and your hair’s growth cycle. Each hair grows at a different rate and goes through three distinct phases: growth, regression and resting. Prowave treatments work by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in the given area.
Immediately following your Prowave treatment, the area may appear a bit red and swollen. Three to seven days after treatment you may experience what seems to be a bit of regrowth of hair. Actually, most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment and are not regrowing. Between treatments you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.
Using the latest technology in hair removal, Prowave can rapidly treat large areas safely and effectively on patients with a wide range of skin types. The cooled handpiece increases patient comfort and minimized the adverse skin reaction commonly seen with other light sources.
As a general rule, there are few people who are not suitable candidates for IPL, however certain conditions may affect the effectiveness of treatment. As with most light based treatments, fairer skinned clients are most suitable. If you have excess melanin (pigment) in the skin, particularly deeper in the dermis, then you are more likely to get an unsatisfactory treatment from IPL.
