Hair Removal 101
En matière d'épilation, il n'y a pas de taille unique. Chaque individu est unique, avec des combinaisons peau-poil différentes qui nécessitent des réglages et des modes de fonctionnement différents.
Follicle Depth Varies
Hair follicles are nested in different depths throughout your body. For example, bikini line hair is rooted as deep as 4.5 mm, whereas upper lip hair is more superficial and reaches a depth of up to 2.0 mm. The Alpha’s Diode Laser energy can penetrate deeper than 5.0 mm into the skin, allowing to effectively target any hair follicle in the body. The Alpha also allows users to select between “deep” and “shallow” treatments, enhancing energy precision and guaranteeing optimal results in various body parts.

Your hair is constantly growing and shedding in a cyclic process known as the “Hair Growth Cycle”, which has two main phases: Anagen – the active growing phase, and Telogen – the resting and shedding phase. Due to the laser hair removal mechanism of action, only anagen hair that is actively growing will respond to the treatment! This is why the process of Laser Hair Removal requires multiple applications, depending on the treatment area. We must be sure to zap each follicle during its anagen phase, otherwise the hair will regrow. Your Alpha provider is well trained and knowledgeable when it comes to hair growth cycles, and knows how to recommend a personalized treatment plan that is optimized to your needs and goals.

The level of melanin in your skin (i.e. your skin tone) is a major parameter that affects your hair removal process. Pale skin contains less melanin and can be treated using higher energies, whereas darker skin contains higher melanin levels and requires lower energis to prevent superficial burns. Moreover, different parts of your body have different melanin levels which requires different pulse energy settings for each area. That it why it’s absolutely crucial to objectively assess your hair and skin tone and adjust the treatment parameters accordingly. The Alpha is equipped with 5 unique hair removal modes that can accommodate any skin type, including skin types 5 & 6. We use Milo to measure your melanin levels objectively, so the Alpha can automatically adjust itself and select the optimal treatment mode and parameters for your unique hair-skin combination.

How It Works
Des impulsions lumineuses concentrées sont libérées sur la peau et les cheveux. La mélanine contenue dans les cheveux et la peau est le principal chromophore qui absorbe la lumière et génère de la chaleur.
En raison des différences de concentration et de localisation de la mélanine entre les follicules pileux et la peau environnante, la majeure partie de la chaleur est générée à l'intérieur des follicules tandis que la peau reste indemne. En raison de la diffusion de la chaleur dans le follicule, les composants critiques du cheveu adjacents à la tige sont endommagés au-delà de toute réparation.
À la suite du dommage thermique, le follicule est détruit et perd son potentiel de repousse. Il faut environ 2 à 4 semaines pour que la peau se débarrasse du follicule mort et se rétablisse complètement.

Why is it so important to customize every treatment to the specific needs of your skin?
Hair removal is a process that unfolds over several months and requires multiple sessions. During this time, your skin tone may darken, especially with increased UV exposure in summer.
To ensure safe and effective treatments year-round, practitioners must monitor these changes and adjust parameters accordingly.
With Milo the Melanin Reader, this is done effortlessly. Your Alpha practitioner will use Milo to measure your skin’s melanin before each treatment, ensuring optimal results regardless of season or skin color changes.
